Canada Base News

It is good to be able to write to you at the start of this new year. We trust you had a wonderful Christmas and that you are now looking forward to this new year and expecting great things.

We really would like to thank you for your continued support throughout last year. We have so much appreciated your prayers over this time. The difficult financial times we are living in haven't helped us, but we press on with what the Lord has called us to do.

Thank you to all who have given financially. Although a difficult year, the Lord has been good to us. We have still managed to print and distribute one million books, as well as distribute hundreds of thousands of DVDs and thousands of Bibles. Our mercy work thrives and we have now opened our third foster home.

So what does 2012 hold for us? You can read more information on our literature programme in Day Four. We will also continue to care for the babies and young children in our foster homes as well as supporting children through our sponsorship programmes. One area we would like you to pray about is teams. We would love to see more people join us on teams. Let us make 2012 a year when a record number of people from Canada join our teams and make a difference in China. It is of course more expensive now due to the increase in cost of flights and accommodation, but please don't let that put you off. We firmly believe that if the Lord wants you to join a team, He will provide the finance for you to go. We have heard many wonderful testimonies of how the Lord has provided; all you have to do is ask. We have also introduced a new team - the ‘Come and See' team. This is a wonderful opportunity to come and see different areas of our ministry in China. A chance not to be missed. Contact the office for more details.

You also still have time to apply to join the next Antioch School of Missions, which starts in August. Check out the web site at www.asmchina.org for more details or contact the office.

Pray for good health for the base staff.

Pray for finance to continue the different areas of ministry.

Pray for finance for the base to continue the good work.

Pray for more people to join our teams and Antioch School of Missions.

Please pray for the annual meeting of our in-China workers and other staff, which takes place this month. Pray that it will be a real time of refreshing for all who attend.
