Missionary Training Center Graduating Class of 2009

Yesterday was the graduation ceremony for the Missionary Training Center here in Canada. We had 17 graduates. Some have already taken off for their home areas and in the next couple of weeks the rest of our graduates will be heading out. These are some very dear people who love the Lord and are looking to serve the Lord on the mission field. Please be praying for them as they raise support, work through all the needed paperwork, get needed shots, and work through many other things in preparation for life on the mission field. Congratulations Class of 2009 on finishing strong. We are praying for you and are excited for all that God has in store for you.

Go and Make Disciples of all Nations

This afternoon we will be celebrating the graduation of our 2008 class. These students have been with us for two years and we will REALLY miss them. They are such great people who love the Lord and desire to serve Him on the mission field. They will be such a blessing and encouragement and it is with great joy that we will be sending them off to make a difference in this world. I will however, shed a few tears as we say good-bye to good friends. "May the Lord bless you and keep you: the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace."

The Graduating Class of 2007

This is a VERY exciting day for all of us here at the Missionary Training Center. This afternoon these 24 students will be graduating from the two year Missionary Training Course that we have here. For many of the students it has actually been four years of training as they also attended two years of Bible School. It has been a growing and stretching time for these students as they have seen God bring them through many things throughout their training. In all reality we never know if we will see our students again as they will be going out to the ends of the earth. Praise the Lord for these very dear people! They will be going into situations where they will experience less then ideal living conditions and moving away from their dear loved ones. But we know that the Lord will be there EVERY step of the way. Please be praying for these dear ones as they leave here and make the necessary preparations to serve the Lord overseas.
