Greetings from Zi<strong>on</strong>!<br />
An evening program was held <strong>on</strong> April 19 which, was<br />
brought by <strong>the</strong> Teichroeb Family as well as Peter and<br />
Margaret Klassen. Peter showed pictures <strong>of</strong> his trip to<br />
Israel and <strong>the</strong> many places where Jesus had walked. The<br />
following m<strong>on</strong>th ano<strong>the</strong>r program was held and performed<br />
by Prairieland Gospel and <strong>the</strong> Bruno Funk Family. Both<br />
evenings were eventful followed by a snack in <strong>the</strong> church<br />
basement.<br />
On May 3 we had quite <strong>the</strong> large group <strong>of</strong> people that<br />
transferred <strong>the</strong>ir membership to Zi<strong>on</strong>. We heard a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
testim<strong>on</strong>ies <strong>of</strong> how <strong>the</strong>y came to know <strong>the</strong> Lord pers<strong>on</strong>ally.<br />
It’s amazing how <strong>the</strong> Lord speaks to every different<br />
individual, and how <strong>the</strong>y feel <strong>the</strong> nudge to accept him as<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir pers<strong>on</strong>al Saviour.<br />
About 60 women attended <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>the</strong>r’s Day Tea <strong>on</strong><br />
May 9. Their guest speaker was Nancy Sullivan. She shared<br />
a bit about <strong>the</strong> women in Thailand, and how <strong>the</strong>y met <strong>the</strong><br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> Proverbs 31. It talks about <strong>the</strong> virtuous and<br />
godly women – a woman <strong>of</strong> str<strong>on</strong>g character, great wisdom,<br />
many skills, and great compassi<strong>on</strong>. However, <strong>the</strong> most<br />
important thing <strong>the</strong>y were lacking was that Jesus was not a<br />
part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir life.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> last while <strong>the</strong>re’s been a great need to pray for<br />
members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>gregati<strong>on</strong>. John and Neta Wiens have<br />
had <strong>the</strong>ir share <strong>of</strong> battles. He has been in <strong>the</strong> hospital for quite<br />
some time fighting leukemia. He is undergoing treatments at<br />
this time. Pray that he will regain his health and that <strong>the</strong>y<br />
will be streng<strong>the</strong>ned through this. Also pray for <strong>the</strong> members<br />
that have lost <strong>the</strong>ir spouse, that <strong>the</strong>y will feel <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong><br />
