PRAYER FOCUS - SEPTEMBER 2, 2018 To activate the Prayer Chain, call Ruth Wiebe: 306-931-2982 1. Missionary Focus: Pray for Wes & Carol Schellenberg, serving with Avant Ministries. "August was a whirlwind of activity. Even as we sent out our newsletter at the end of July, we worked to finish some lingering projects on our house in Calgary. With those out of the way, we decluttered, found a realtor, and listed our house for sale on Aug 7. House showings came quickly, and we received a reasonable offer that Friday! With a week for the buyers to get their financing together, Carol and I planned a house hunting trip to Winnipeg. On Aug 20, we received news that the financing had been confirmed and that our home in Calgary was sold. After looking at 12 houses in Winnipeg, we made an offer on a bungalow. The one that seemed to fit was only a 5 minute drive from the Avant Ministries office. Coincidence? We’ve long believed that the best place to be is right where God wants you. If you’re not there already, he will make a way for you to get there. We are filled with joy that the God of the universe has taken the time to put his fingerprints all over our transition from InterAct to Avant! We very much look forward to taking up our role in supporting his work through Avant’s missionaries. Our new home is located in the north east part of Winnipeg. We will be moving in on Sept 29. After some unpacking and settling in, Wes will begin work at the Avant Ministries Canada office. We can hardly wait! • Praise God for his goodness. • Pray for our son Matthew who doesn't have a job but would like to stay in Calgary. • Pray for all the logistics surrounding our move, including safe travel. • Pray that the Lord would use us for his glory and for his Kingdom work.
