Here we go...

We will be leaving this Sunday afternoon on Air France heading from Toronto to Benin with two connecting flights in between. The estimated time this takes is 20hrs and X mins (I forgot). Benin is 4hrs ahead of Toronto.

We want to thank you all for being part of our preparation journey together. This journey has just begun!

Please pray for us for the following:

  • for a safe flight this Sunday
  • for physical protection while we're there, that we'll remember to take our anti-malaria meds, sunscreen and deet everyday
  • for spiritual protection since we will be doing work Satan doesn't want us to do
  • for spiritual maturity on our part, that we'll deal with the culture, the religions etc. in ways that will glorify God
  • for opportunties to love and share the gospel with the people there, may we be a blessing to them and to the people we will work with
  • for team unity, for us to display and function as the body of Christ
  • for peace to those who are worried about us back at home, for God to comfort them in that we are stepping into His will
  • for God to minister to us while we're there, may our hearts be touched by His presence daily


Some of us are still in need financially. The total has now been raised to $5179.52. If you would like to support God's ministry in this way, you can give online at https://www.sim.ca/donationformsecurep89.php or you can send in a cheque to the SIM office (10 Huntingdale Blvd., Scarborough, ON M1W 2S5), and SIM will send you a tax-deductible receipt for anything over $20.

God's been soo good to us this whole time and He will remain faithful during our time in Benin. Can't wait to come back and share!
