Get Ready….
·         Pray that Dr. Bob has freedom of speech this weekend. Pray that he is able to speak out what the Holy Spirit has for us and needs to be imparted. Get in a position to receive!
·         Pray that when Dr. Bob opens his mouth, every WORD ‘hits the mark’ for EACH person that is in attendance! Ephesians 6:18-20 Utterance given to me so mysteries given, boldness, Colossians 4:2-5
·         Pray that each person’s heart is ready to receive… ears to hear… understanding opened to receiving. Ephesians 1:17-20 NO distractions!
·         Be at the meetings and arrive at the meetings early. Be in an attitude of ‘expectation’.

“In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we’re talking about is Christ’s body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn’t amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ’s body, let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pride fully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t.”
Romans 12:4-6 The Message (MSG)

Thank you to all who helped and showed ‘kindness’ to all the guests who attended the Easter Pancake Breakfast on Good Friday!

The Love of God in action…. His kindness displayed through you…is one of the ways that leads people to the Lord. It’s HIS GOODNESS that leads people to repentance!

Thank you for doing your part!

Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? Romans 2:4

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Psalm 34:8

There were approximately 2000 people in attendance at the Breakfast. Over 600 people received clothing. 900 + children went through the Egg Hunts… best of all 27 people accepted the Lord as the their Savior! Praise God!

Many, many more were talked with and prayed over for different situations.
Each conversation, each word is a seed that will NOT return void! It will do what it was intended to do and cause change and take root in the individuals life!

*In yesterday’s paper, ‘ The Okanagan Saturday Daily Courier’, there was an article on page A3 that highlighted the event. If you would like a copy, it is available at the front entrance table at the CRC tonight!

Good Reports!
‘The most impressive opportunity was with this lady and her son. I started our conversation with an invite to the Easter supper then talked of salvation. She said something I hardly have ever heard. Most people have some opinion on God.”No one, including my parents, have ever told me about God or salvation.” So I shared Jesus to her. She said she would think more on this …’ – Gary Hendricks

‘Louise is in her 80’s, and had just had a stroke a while ago which damaged her whole right side, including her hands that would randomly drop things.  I first prayed for her healing and she had pain in her hands and leg. After she said she had  NO pain- glory to God! – Lynn Gervais  (Go Team)

A young lady came in and asked if she could donate some baby clothes and her stroller.  I said okay and she lifted her son out of the stroller and said here and gave us some clothes. The stroller was like new and almost immediately we found a young Mom who needed one.
A man came in (from off the highway) and said  he had his clothes stolen and had nothing so he came and picked up a bunch of clothes. – Carol Quesnel (Clothing)

While I was standing next to the prize table a man and his family walked up and were looking at the prizes. I was standing beside the balloons that were taped onto my table and of course the wind was blowing them in my face so, just being silly I punched the balloons out of my face. The man then said If I don’t want those (balloons) he would take them. My first thought was no, but immediately I changed that and thought why do I need them, so I ripped them from the tape and gave them to the man. The man then bent down to give them to his son who loved them and actually smiled for the first time that day. I guess the boy was in a bad mood all day long and they cheered him up and he was so thrilled. It’s amazing what 5 balloons bundled together can do!! – Alea Verwoerd (Prizes)

Also had a chance to give away the coupon from Dr. Specs for new frames to a lady. The ladies daughter had broken her glasses not to long ago and she had been without!! She was so thankful!!  – Alea Verwoerd

There was a boy that kept coming to my table to ask me about a Club Penguin prize pack when I would give it away and If i would give it to him. I just kept saying ‘maybe’. So each time he came back he just kept asking in a very nice way too. He even brought me and Sherman some of the caramel popcorn. Sherman and I both decided we would definitely give him the prize pack at the end he was very thankful. He came back later with his two friends and they each were carrying one of the items that was in the prize pack. That’s awesome sharing!! – Alea Verwoerd

Thank you once again!
Blessings,
Pastors Dieter & Diana

Wow you can tell summer is coming, the little parking space behind shoppers was very full.  Pete counted 60 people and we went through very close to 100 hot dogs.  Of course some of those people were the many volunteers too.  I was able to pray with Ramsay to accept Jesus into his heart and ask He be Lord in his life.  He’s the boy with the bike and the roots tee shirt.  We’ve been seeing Ramsay come to Monday nights for several, several months.  He’s from Winnipeg, and went to church for about a year there, but he hadn’t prayed for salvation.  After we prayed he said “Pheww…I feel a lot better now…like a weight has been lifted off”  – Colleen Minchau
