Family & Ministry Update

Last year at this time we had just gotten settled and were getting used to living here in Quesnel. There was fresh snow on the ground and we weren’t sure what to expect from the upcoming winter. Today there is again fresh snow, we have been living here a little over a year and have experienced all the seasons, including winter, summer, mosquito, and bear season.

Global Daily Dec. 2022

Our family has been slowly adjusting to our new life since moving up to Quesnel at the end of August. We love it here so far, especially the slower pace and quieter neighborhood. Winter hit early though...

We've Moved!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has been praying for us in our move! We have a new home! We are SO thankful for this new place. We have been here a week as of yesterday (Wednesday) and so far we love it! Though the journey has been rocky and super stressful at times we’re thrilled to be finally through and officially moved in.

Prayer Update

We are excited and encouraged to tell you that it looks like we have found a place to live! Thank you for praying! We have made an offer on a house for sale in Quesnel and it has been accepted.

Special Prayer Request

Please pray with us that we can find a new place to live by Aug. 30. We have lived in our Chilliwack townhouse for 15 years now and with the kids growing up it is beginning to feel pretty small.

Our Very First Family Bike Ride

Yesterday, we went on our very first official whole-family bike ride.

Dear Friends and Supporters, You might have received this from us already, but just in case you haven't and for the folks for whom we don't have addresses, we are sending it as an email as well. Merry Christmas! We hope you have had a great year. I (James) am writing this letter to share with you a little about how we are doing and what sorts of activities we have been involved with as...

Hatching Chicks

As you may know, we have been homeschooling our kids. This year, as part of their learning experience, we are hatching chicks! Carolanne had found a good deal on a 2'nd hand incubator a few years ago, and this year we have some fuzzy little additions to our family. (at least for a little while... we have no plans to actually keep chickens) [caption id="attachment_2745" align="alignnone" width="400"] This is the first chick that hatched. Cute...

Daily Prayer For The Week

We receive hundreds of email every day from people asking for prayer or help from a mentor. Here are a few of those requests, organized in a daily schedule if you would like to pray for them in that way.

Pray for Carolanne's Dad

Please pray for our family and especially Carolanne's dad these days.  Last Tuesday (May 28'th) he went in to the Abbotsford hospital with some chest and back pain.  The Dr's have diagnosed it as having been a minor heart attack however they have kept him there for observation and more testing to find out the cause and to confirm the diagnosis.  In the process, they have discovered that he also has leukaemia.  Today (Monday) he...

The Kids

Occasionally, people tell me that they wish they could see more of our kids and our family. So here's a more personal entry. My son is such a good big brother. He's four now, and Julia is two. Carolanne and I really enjoyed this clip of him trying to teach his sister how to use the Wii. He was trying to teach her to play the bowling game.

Recent Updates

Thank you so much for your ongoing prayer and support of us. This Christmas is going to be a bit different for us as James' dad (Loren) will have just recently had heart surgery and we're not sure yet what changes that will bring. Please pray for a quick recovery for him and for peace for the rest of us. Please pray also for TruthMedia as this can be a very busy time of year...

Our puppy

Well, I have been meaning to post something on here about our new puppy we got in April of this year. She's around 4 months old now and her name is Cookie. She is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a King Charles Cavalier. She will be a medium size dog when full grown. She kind of looks like a mini Rusty. (That was our Golden Retriever dog we used to have that we...
