Update from GCI-Canada

From GCI-Canada director Gary Moore

Wendy, Kylie and I arrived safely in South Africa. I was able to speak at one of the Pretoria area churches last weekend. We had some family time this week, and were able to travel to the Kruger Park area and visit with relatives. We took the opportunity to do a day trip through part of the immense Kruger Park – world famous for its game. We saw four of the “big 5” (elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino), along with quite a few smaller animals. This weekend we are involved with a leadership training session in the Johannesburg area, and a combined service on Sunday. Your prayers that it will be a spiritually fruitful time together would be gratefully appreciated.

I’m delighted to let you know that Dennis Lawrence was able to officiate at his daughter Judith’s wedding on July 9! Judith married Nathan Knapp, son of Steve and Brenda Knapp of Scarborough, Ontario. Here are two pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Santa Rosa, Philippines, anniversary

Eugene Guzon, GCI Philippines National Director (and current Santa Rosa senior pastor) reports that the Santa Rosa, Laguna congregation recently celebrated its tenth anniversary with the theme “Celebrating Life in God’s Love.” About 120 visitors and members attended.

The day began with a pancake breakfast. Photos were displayed showing the 10 years of shared memories, and learning activities were provided for the children. Then all gathered for a worship service, followed by lunch and a movie.
