Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This weekend a writers training conference is being held in Cape Town, South Africa for those who write for our publication there – Face to Face magazine. Mike Feazell and John Halford were kind enough to offer to go and share their experience with the group. Face to Face is a fine publication, and investing in those who write for it will only make it better. Please pray for safety in travelling for all concerned, and that the conference will have a long-lasting benefit to those who attend.
Canada
Dennis and Lynn Lawrence are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Judith, to Nathan Knapp, son of Steve and Brenda Knapp of Scarborough, ON. A July 9 wedding in Montreal is being planned.
Gary Moore writes, “I remember Brenda being in the youth group in the London, Ontario, congregation when I first came out of college and worked with Doug Smith, who pastored that area. Passing on the wedding announcement of one of her children reminds me how fast the years are passing!”
European Pastoral Leader’s Conference
James Henderson and Joseph Tkach met in Zurich, Switzerland, with Carl Fredrick Aas from Scandinavia, Marie-Angelique Picard and Dominique Alcindor from France, Jose Ribeiro from Portugal, Frans Danenberg and Hans De Moei from Holland, Pedro Rufian from Spain, Daniel and Paola Boesch from Italy. It was a delight to meet with our brothers and sisters, the members in Switzerland, for church services.

Prayer Request
Remember that prayer is the battleground where we fight the good fight of faith. Let’s encourage everyone to join together in prayer, for we belong to Christ, and by the Spirit it is in Christ that we pray. Prayer and other spiritual activities help keep our hearts in tune with God and remind us of who we are in Christ. He is our all in all, and in him we are eternally beloved of the Father and blessed to share his good news with others.
Love from my family to yours,
Joseph Tkach
