August 2019: Kayak, Dinghy, Bike & Runners

Refreshed, Renewed, Rested

Carol and I enjoyed a three-week extended stay-cation to celebrate our 28^th anniversary and to explore Winnipeg via bike-paths and rivers; kayaking, running, walking and a dinghy ride on the Red River.  We enjoyed summer-time leisurely visits with family and friends. We are back to work and want to catch you up on some changes, some no-changes, and recent ministry activity.

Recent changes

Multiply (formerly MB Mission) has undergone a few changes. A significant change is that Carol’s salary and ministry budget needs to be fully fundraised. All Multiply short-term mission (STM) staff are transitioning to a 'relational support' model of funding. We ask that you prayerfully consider joining our financial support team.

Recent no-changes

Carol continues to lead a dynamic team together in partnership with our Provincial MB leaders that provide experiential disciple-making opportunities such as SOAR, ACTION, and TREK.

Lloyd continues to consult and serve the Central Canada MB churches and affiliate partners as Mission Mobilizer.

Recent ministry activity

TREK Central Canada training came to an end in June as the participants’ internships began in Thailand, Japan, Winnipeg, and Central Asia. TREK is all about discerning calling and ministry vocation. Many of the modules of TREK training are available for audit. This year we had several pastors and lay-leaders join TREK CC for the preaching and evangelism modules. Consider joining us May-June 2020 for a module or two.

July – Aug: ACTION training has become a global mission family-camp, and we love it! This summer we had 50 people including 14 children 11 years and under! Families have attended ACTION to be renewed in their walk with Jesus and be resourced in reaching their communities. A team of young adults served in Brazil, while a team from Lithuania served in the North End of Winnipeg!

July in Japan: A Swift Current youth group partnered with the Japanese MB conference in Osaka Japan to host an English Bible Camp. Pastor Darren Kennedy and his team from Bridgeway Community Church joined Nakajima Sensei’s church and family, Cory & Masami Giesbrecht’s family and three Japanese churches in a rich faith exchange. Consider mobilizing a church team to help an international church with their summer programming or the Olympics in Japan 2020!

There are always more stories to share of Jesus transforming lives and communities through living life on mission together. We would love to share a coffee or meal with you and hear your recent journey of faith and share ours with you.
