  • Pray for God’s guidance regarding the ministries we will participate in, such as medical services, public health education, after-school programs, IT support, visitations, and sharing testimonies.
  • Pray for each team member to maintain a focus on Jesus amidst the busyness of our schedules.
  • Pray for unity and a mission spirit as our church contributes to the Hockey Stick Drive.
  • Pray for discernment in selecting and acquiring supplies for the ministries in Cambodia.
  • Pray for a practical and cost-effective way to transport the sports and medical supplies to Siem Reap.
  • Pray for God’s guidance and protection during our travels, especially navigating air space restrictions in the Middle East, and for smooth connections for our flights.

English Ministry

1.  EMC Sunday School: Room 139 from 9:30 AM to 11: 00 AM. The Holy Sexuality Project course by Dr. Christopher Yuan: This course details his dramatic conversion from an agnostic gay man who put his identity in his sexuality to a pastor, Bible professor, and Christian author who now puts his identity in Christ alone. A 12 week curriculum thoroughly gospel-centered video study on sex, sexuality, and gender.

2.  FamilyLife Canada’s Weekend Getaway at Lake Louise took place last weekend, April 19-21, 2024. Praise God for all the couples who attended – may their marriages be richly blessed.  For more information on future events, visit https://www.familylifecanada.com/

3.  Community of Women Small Group: Our May event will be held online on Thursday, May 16 8:30 – 9:30 pm. Topic: Connecting spiritually with your children.Your children, like all humans, are spiritual beings. So the question is not whether your children will develop spiritually, but rather how well or how poorly their spiritual life will be developed.  Often as mothers, we have an influence in the realm of’ practical application of spirituality, the day-to-day moments where faith comes alive.   The areas we tend to neglect are the more practical aspects of a deep, everyday commitment.   This talk is not meant to be exhaustive but will seek to present some ideas that may help us move in that direction.

Speaker: Ilse Li (mom of 2, currently serving as the deacon of Christian Education in EMC)
