Dun coup dil Coin des enfants Kids Corner Invest our hearts in the youth: A wonderful thing that ministry allows us to do is to invest our heart in others to influence them to live for Christ. This summer God allowed us to do it in three significant ways with young people. First, He sent us a young lady, Renae Thiessen, to learn French here for three weeks. Her visit was a blessing for us as well as for her. Then, there was the youth camp in the beginning of July. Again this year it was a joy to see God at work in this ministry. Finally, at the beginning of August, we held a youth retreat with young men that are feeling Gods call upon their lives. It was a privilege to have this time of teaching and mentoring to prepare these young labourers for the work God has called them to. Thank you for praying with us for these five servants of the Lord and all the other ones we were able to impact this summer.
