Thank you for all your prayers for the kids and volunteers participating in the Ancaster Vacation Bible School (VBS) this week. It was a great week!
Housing Need for a Ukrainian Family:
We are looking for rental accommodations for a Ukrainian family of 11, who arrived in Canada on June 16 with nine birth and adopted children between the ages of 4 and 18. We have commitments to cover rental costs for the first year. This family is temporarily residing at Redeemer University until August 13 and is being supported by Meadowlands Fellowship Christian Reformed Church. The accommodations should have 3-4 bedrooms, preferably on the west mountain or Ancaster area. This is an amazing Christian family who is well on the way to settling and supporting themselves in Canada.
