Note From Pastor Jim

2010-04-23T08:14:00.001-07:00

Hi Everyone,

It was a great Missions Weekend with Dr. H.C. Wilson this past weekend and it was exciting when he ended our Sunday morning gathering by encouraging us to bring our loose change to the front to change a life in Haiti. As hundreds of our church family came forward with the change in their pockets and purses, we collected $1355.75! Dr. Wilson told us that the average daily wage in Haiti is one dollar, so we changed over 1300 families lives with only the change in our pockets! Praise the Lord! A huge Thank You!!!

You may or may not know that our official church year comes to a close this Sunday. We begin our new church year in the month of May. Although we are doing better than last year in our giving, we are ending the church year with approximately a $22,000 deficit. I want to encourage each of us to come ready to close up our church year with a balanced budget. Could you please pray about what God would have you give on this last Sunday of our church year? Diane and I are going to give extra to do our part to end the church year responsibly. I thank you in advance for doing the same!

Blessing to each of you,
Pastor Jim & Diane

Guest Speaker, Serge Leclerc

2010-02-15T09:28:00.000-08:00

We are hosting an event this Wednesday night, Feb 17 that you will not want to miss. Serge Leclerc will be speaking @ 7:00 PM in our worship center. You can watch a video clip of his presentation by clicking the following link… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYbQoGhtUQM
Here is a brief comment on Serge, author of “Untwisted”. His book will be available to purchase for $15 on Wednesday night or you can purchase a copy in advance from our church office. You can also visit http://www.sergetalks.com/ for more information about him and his mission.
Serge’s arrest in 1984, for a $40 million meth lab, would be the last of many prison sentences and the beginning of a journey that would ultimately 'untwist' the years of dysfunction. While he was in solitary confinement and questioning his own life, a Prison Fellowship Canada volunteer told Serge he had a choice. He could believe that he was an animal that walked on two legs, with no purpose, or that he was a creation, there was a Creator, he had a soul and was of great value, and that he had a purpose in life. As much as his past choices had lead him into a life of pain and waste, his choices from here on in could bring him to a life of hope and transformation. The choices Serge made from that point on put him on a path that has led to exactly that!
“Serge LeClerc's message … is moving and inspiring. His is the story of a man who has survived mistreatment, imprisonment, unimaginable abuse and was able to rise from the clutches of poverty, criminality, and despair to become a man respected in all walks of life … it inspires individuals to make the choices needed to come back from the darkness of personal tragedy and pain.” ~ Chuck Colson, Founder, Prison Fellowship

Update on Andrew Bryce

2010-01-28T08:18:00.000-08:00

Thank you to everyone for your prayers for Andrew Bryce and his family. We received this update today from Peter Bryce:

"Many have requested that they would like to visit Andrew (Dad). We truly wish that we could allow visitors, however Dad really needs rest. Because of this, we are requesting that there be no visitors at this point, unless requested by the family.
After 2 major brain surgeries, he is extremely tired and not speaking much. Lots of rest is crucial in the recovery process. We want to thank everyone again so much for the ongoing prayer support.
We are waiting now on today's CT scan. As soon as we have news, we will update you. The verses and words from God that people have been getting have been very encouraging to all of us.
We are keeping them all in a journal. Please continue to send these, as they have been really uplifting. Let's continue to pray for a full recovery, trusting that regardless how long it takes, God will bring Andrew back to complete health."

Please continue to pray for Andrew and the Bryce family.

Prayer Request

2010-01-25T10:20:00.000-08:00

Many of you have been praying for Peter (Stephanie) Bryce's Dad, Andrew and we wanted to give you an update we received today from Peter's Mom, Shirley:

"Andrew had another CT scan this AM. The neurosurgeon came in to chat with us after and say that the fluid has increased in one section of the brain as well as his white blood count. There is a pocket of infection in that area. So he will have another surgery today to drain that...not as long or extensive as the first. However he will be drilling into the brain and the usual risks apply.
The kids have returned all returned home and back to school. Peter will be back today from Saint John to keep vigil with me for this next surgery. Please keep them all in your prayers for peace and assurance of Jesus' continued hand on their dad. Thanks for continuing to stand watch and labor with us."

Please continue to keep the Bryce family in your prayers!!

Haiti

2010-01-17T17:15:00.000-08:00

Just a reminder to anyone interested in donating to relief efforts in Haiti that you will be able to do it through KV Church. We will be going through the Global Partners ( the Canadian branch ) arm of the Wesleyan Church. They are already on the ground there in Haiti and helping with rescue & recovery operations. We hope the money will be matched by the Canadian government and if that doesn't happen we will go with another agency like, World Hope Canada....

Update from Haiti Missionaries

2010-01-15T11:36:00.000-08:00

I want to share a letter I received from the Gilles family in Haiti. Carl and Maya were with us at KVW this past fall sharing about their ministry in Haiti and they are one of the missionary families we support as a church......

Hi everyone,
We just want to tell you that our family as well as all the missionaries with Global Partners in Haiti are doing well. As all of you know, we were hit with an earthquake Tuesday at 5pm. No one is hurt. God is great!! He protected us and we see his grace & faithfulness all over. Our house is still standing, but we can't live in it yet since we aren't sure if the structure was affected. Some walls are cracked and we will be asking an inspector to evaluate the house before we move in again. We sleep in a field where there is nothing that can fall on us if ever there was another earthquake. We don't have electricity in the house, but we do have water and food for the next few weeks.

Please keep praying:
Protection of our family
Discernment whether we should stay in Haiti or leave until the situation
gets better
The hurting people in Haiti

Remember that our safety is not in the absence of danger but in the presence of the Lord. We love you all and are SO appreciative of your prayers. The God we are serving is good and even through at times we don't understand things he allows, we know HE is in control and He loves His children.

Carl & Maya Gilles, in Haiti

Many are asking how they can help and how they can give financially to aid in helping the Haitian people during this desparate time. We will be sharing how you can do that this coming Sunday and will be covering this country and her people in prayer during our gathering.
