The AGC Prayer Guide for April 2008 / GUIDE DE PRIÈRES avril 2008 has been posted. Please read the update below from President Bud Penner: The Lord spoke to me this past week through a variety of sources all on the same topic.

It has been a good journey! Canada West Jim Houston continues his exhausting pace of covering the four western provinces whether it is to encourage Pastors, help resolve differences in a church, or to encourage Pastors and Churches to move forward in their communities. Churches without pastors are fewer. Several are at various stages of finding and calling pastors. Two churches in Alberta, Wetaskiwin and Provost, are building new facilities. Canada East Under the chairmanship of Pastor Wayne Foster, a search committee has settled on a new Superintendent to be presented to the Region in June as part of the AGC National Conference. Wayne was also the point person when Bill Fietje was recruited and confirmed by the Region. Great job once again Wayne! Quebec Churches There are ... |
