A Word from Ben



This is a picture Kellie took from the car window as we drove around Maligne Lake down near Jasper. God's creation is so amazing...so much larger than I ever imagined! Sadly, so many people here are blind to the God behind this beauty, please pray that they would be healed by finding Christ, the Light of the world!

I have been able to help with several things around the church and the Davises' house, as well as doing as much door-to-door soul-winning as possible. Only a few people have even listened to the gospel, but many have taken the church packets we have been distributing (they contain invitations to the church and the books of John and Romans in pamphlet form). Pray that God's Word would be read and would bring conviction.  

At one door, a college-age girl seemed very closed when I first started talking to her, but she started asking some interesting questions. Finally, I started with creation and worked my way to the cross of Christ. It seemed that she softened as she heard for the first time how Christ died for her, but she told me later that it was all still too much to really believe. She was probably the most interested person I have encountered so far, please pray that God will work in her heart. 

We are planning a children's Bible club for the next two Mondays and Tuesdays. There is no way to guess how many will attend or what the age range will be (several teenagers have expressed some interest in the club), so pray that we can be fluid and get the gospel to whoever comes. Also, please pray that many parents will come with their children and hear the gospel. 

I cannot thank you enough for your prayers. Please continue to pray that God would use us to help Bro. Davis and to encourage the church members up here.
