FROM OUR OUTFIT TO YOURS

Howdy Folks!

Time sure slips by. It seems like I keep falling farther and farther behind every day. Keeping this blog up-to-date is a case in point. Folks have told me that they enjoy reading it and look forward to regular updates. So, I'll try to do better in 2009.

Since we got home in October from our northern Alberta tour, we have become involved in some additional ministries at Cambrian Heights Baptist Church, In addition to our role as a deacon family and regular members of the praise team, Suzann and I have been promoting a small group ministry and, recently, I took on the responsibility of Minister of Christian Education. In this capacity, I will be developing a training program for Sunday school teachers and others. Once completed, this training program will be implemented at our church and, then, made available to other churches.

As to Songs of Faith Minisitres, we have committed ourselves to a church planting mission in the Spring. The focus of this initiative will be on northwestern and northern Ontario. We have partnered with a couple from the Southern Baptist Seminary in Cochrane, Pat and Nadine Armstrong, who feel called to this ministry. Plans are still tentative, however, we anticipate they will be firmed up in the near future. Pray with us that souls will be saved and churches planted for the glory of God.

For the next several months, our schedule will be directed toward our responsibilites at Cambrian Heights and planning for our mission trip. I hope to be able to schedule another tour of the western states later this year. We've had some inquiries about our availability and are looking forward to the opportunity to share our ministry.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support over these past several years. As we take Songs of Faith Ministries on the road in 2009, we ask for your continued prayers that the Lord will open up opportunities to share the Gospel the cowboy way.

On the trail for Him,

Mike and Suzann
