We really enjoyed a trip to southern Alberta to visit friends and family and share the ministry in Hermosillo with our brothers and sisiters in the Eztikom and Orion Evangelical Free Churches this last weekend (Sept 3-7). It was great to catch-up with the Klassen family and the Lobb family in Bow Island and then spend the rest of the […]

The last month was an unusual one with Shelli and the kids in Canada from the middle of July and myself (Greg) ministering in Hermosillo and getting ready for home assignment (a ministry time in Canada visiting our support team and churches). Shelli laptop cratered the first week in Canada and mine two weeks ago so trying to […]
We now have a few weeks working with 4 of the children from the daycare fire. The good news is that three of the kids have gone home and we will continue to follow-up with home visits. We are still working with a 4 year old boy who had severe burns to his legs and stomach. We […]
I have not been able to write lately as it is our summer team and Kids Club time. On Saturday 22 people from Winnipeg arrived to help with our Kids Club and other great ministries. This years club is a CIRCUS theme so we have plenty of clowns and laughter. Last year we topped the […]

News Flash. Today was one of great advances. We have a meeting with one of the children in their homes, this will probably get us into more homes. Tonight I spent from 4:00 to 8:30 p.m. in surgery with two of the little ones. I got in because one of the ladies from our church […]
This last week has been a time of sadness and grieving with families. As most of you know 46 kids have passed away in the ABC daycare fire. Shelli, having worked as a child life therapist in the Alberta Children’s Hospital, is trying to start a program here for the kids who remain with severe burns. […]
