Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
UrbanPromise Toronto
- Please pray for food (snacks & dinners) and materials (school & arts and crafts) to still be provided because there is still zero budget for the upcoming semester.
- Praise God for three of my male youth leaders who work for me were recently baptized
- Please pray for the upcoming semester and the growth of our team (spiritually, in numbers, teaching Bible studies, tutoring, disciplining, new incentive program, etc.) and children (spiritually, academically, behaviour) including their families (financial, domestic peace)
- All the children and leaders from all sites across the GTA were able to get a place and buses for transportation for our Christmas party on Saturday, December 11 at 'Portico - a community church' in Mississauga
- Please pray for one of my male leaders who is growing tremendously but going through a really hard time right now (details cannot be shared)
- Please also pray for the health of two of my female leaders (details also cannot be shared)
- Please pray for three of my kids and their mother...the kids' uncle recently got gunned down 24 times in front of his son. The kids just recently started behaving so much better during our After School Program but are now having a hard time going through this. Praise God though that the mother is very encouraged to hear for the very first time that people are actually praying for her and her family.
MoveIn Toronto
- We now have an official team in Jane & Finch's Milo Park Gate patch meeting weekly on Monday nights for prayer, Bible Study, and food at my apartment.
- Two of the three recently baptized as well as one of my interns from UrbanPromise Toronto have started attending as well.
- Things are still needed to fill up the apartment...but praise God that some people (from Morningstar, MoveIn Toronto, UrbanPromise Toronto and even through Craigslist, Facebook and Twitter) have already donated some things.
- NEEDS: dining table(s) that seat 10+ people, a 10+ passenger van, rectangular kitchen table and/or cart, foldable chairs and tables, board games (chess, checkers, dominoes, poker and get-to-know-you games), several window blinds, first aid kit and fire extinguisher, djembe drum, electric piano, clothes & food for our clothing & food bank, new toaster, filter for drinking water, ice trays, books (extra Bibles, commentaries, Driver's Education Handbooks, etc.), book shelf, large area rug, all season floor matt, etc.
- We had a temporary tenant (of two months) from a local church who just moved out...where a friend from the South Flemo patch and also a former classmate of mine from Tyndale UC...who sent him to us and was recently saved. He is homeless and broke, he is still learning to get back on his feet and take care of himself. Please pray for continued growth and follow up.
