Faith In Action.

Dear Followers & Friends,

We have nfinished our second day of home missions, and I am feeling refreshed. When I arrived at school this morning, we immediately started to plan out our day and pray. We left the school at 9h30 and headed towards LaCorde. LaCorde is a Christian organization under Youth For Christ which feeds kids in the local neighbourhood during their school lunch hour.

Because these kids are less priviliged than we are, some families have a hard time coming up with the means to pay for a lunch and snack for them everyday- so LaCorde is perfect. We heard a testimony from one of their workers there, who showed us that nomatter what our pasts are, we can have a hopeful future with Christ by our side.

One of the highlights of all of our groups day was once the kids started piling in at eleven. I can't even explain what it is about children that makes all your worries go away. They are so free spirited and it was such a blessing to be a positive impact on them. Our day ended with cleaning up some parts of LaCorde's building and we will return there tomorrow to help them in their current renovations.

If you have it on your heart to pray for us please pray for just cooperation within our group, pray that we will be a blessing to these kids and that tomorrow we will have the opportunity to witness to them, please pray that LaCorde's ministry is blessed both financially, physically and spiritually and please pray for their workers who have dedicated their lives to serving their community.

As I think about what we have and will be doing this week, I realize that we are seeing some things that Montreal struggles most with.

Day 1- Homelessness on the streets
Day 2 & 3- Poverty
Day 4- How the elderly have been forgotten from our society
Day 5- Homosexuality

I thank the Lord for His blessings up to this point and I am extremely excited to see what He has in store for our group.

Yours truly,
Bethany Grace.
