The Report

Downtown Edmonton in summer rains

Almost a 1900-mile weekend

     Dejan returned safely Monday night from his journey north to Calgary-Edmonton. The Lord blessed his time there, which was worth every mile of the long drive! It was a quick trip, even though it was a long one for our family both in body and spirit, and we are grateful that this opportunity was given to us. As the months of waiting has turned into a full-fledged season of active preparing, for Dejan to physically be in Canada for these several days proved to be very productive. 

     

Meeting a contact in Edmonton

     He was able to meet with several different people with Edmonton connections both in Calgary and on his day trip to Edmonton itself. There is a family moving from the church in Calgary to Edmonton this month, as well as two contacts we have met with on our previous visits as a family. The friend of Dejan's host in Calgary is also from Edmonton. Dejan had many opportunities through these meetings to discuss the city, and the need for a solid Bible-teaching church was both reiterated and underscored.

     On Sunday morning, those of us who stayed behind with "the stuff" (Julie and the girls), were able to listen online to the service in Calgary and hear Dejan share again about our coming. It was a blessing to participate, even from 800 miles away. The church there has taken us on as missionaries, in addition to our own home church here in Idaho, and we are continually thankful for their backing. From the start, Rocky Mountain Calvary Chapel has been morally and logistically supportive of us coming, with welcome hearts and arms to help us get into Canada and get started.



     Lord willing, within the next 9 or 10 weeks, we will be able to go out to labor in this harvest field with the Word of God and for His purposes. It definitely seems that God Himself is the One who is extending the invitation, that He is receiving us with a welcome to this city of souls that He loves.
