Announcements and Requests

Hi everyone. I have three things to let you know in these last week we are in Canada.

SPEAKING AT SEVEN OAKS ALLIANCE

The Weiss family will be speaking at our home church on Sunday, July 19, 9:15 am, before the regular service, in the gym. That is Seven Oaks Alliance in Abbotsford. We are planning to show some pictures, and just talk about our year, the events, and what it was like for us. We certainly have a great base of support from SOA, and are looking forward to this morning. If you do not attend SOA but are interested at all in hearing or seeing some picts, you are very welcome to attend!
XSTREAMERS--I sure hope many of you can be there. We really want to thank you publicly for all your awesome support and help for us. Please try to get there if you can, as I hope it would be interesting for you.

BAND INSTRUMENTS

Lesley is still looking for any band instruments that she could possibly take back with her to Cambodia. If you have something, maybe old, but still working or just not being used and would like to donate it or sell it for a reasonable price, please let me know! I am very hopeful to get a bit of a program going, and have alot of books and some instruments already. So, it's worth asking if there's anything sitting around, that you're looking to pass along...

SUREYAH

This is the name of an absolutely wonderful young man that Graduated from Logos this year, that we are trying to help. Making a long story very short, he is very close to getting a full scholarship from Trinity Western University here in the lower mainland. He is an orphan and has absolutely no resources to get any post secondary education, but the administration at Logos (Dan and Dean) have really worked hard to attempt to get him into this excellent Christian university in Canada. Things are coming together financially in ways that we can hardly believe, and KNOW that God's hand must be in this, but things are not totally secured yet. Basically, the major request is for a ...

HOMESTAY

for Sureyah. If you know of anyone who has it on their heart to bless an international student in need, with a gift of a homestay for a year, PLEASE let us know. (Or possibly the funds for residency???) Maybe it's you? You never know. What we do know is that Dean and Lesley would recommend this young man without a single reservation. He is a young person of incredible Christian character, he is very mature, loves God with all his heart, and would work very hard his year at Trinity. We are so hopeful that this is the opportunity for him that God really wants, and it will come to pass!
Anyways, we must put it out there and ask. Ask, seek and knock are all action verbs, and we are more than invested in seeing these plans play out for Sureyah. Please pray for him and this opportunity.

Ok, that's it, but hopefully many of you will read this and know of someone who wants to come to SOA on July 19th, or has a band instrument, or who can help out Sureyah. Either way, we hope all you readers are well. We're starting to pack up, weigh our containers, and collect the last things we want to take back. We're still visiting and have had so many really great visit with people that we are thankful to see and connect with this summer. We depart on the 24th of July. Please pray my renewed BC Driver's licence arrives before we go! :)

Take care and God Bless!
