MBA Ministry: Elim Baptist, Beausejour- Please pray for Pastor Jeff and the Pathway Ministries this week, as they are ministering at the Garden Hill First Nations Reserve. Also pray as they begin to gear up for their Fall ministry.
Missionary: Elsie Lewandowski—Teacher, Cameroon. Elsie serves as a supervisor and teacher in the Field Education System for missionary children. She's been serving in Cameroon since 1999, and working as a missionary since 1987. She returned to Cameroon in early July after a year of home assignment. My praise items would be: a wonderful home assignment with many interested and welcoming people, safety in traveling many thousands of kilometers on the road and a successful eye operation removing a dried-up laser scar. My prayer items would be: that I would continue being an encouraging welcomer to my Cameroonian visitors and using my time well in planning to welcome the missionary families for the beginning of school in early August.
