Just to touch base with my blog friends, we are doing OK!
From sheer boredom and lack of motivation to joy and excitement for the vision God is giving for COVID-19 lockdown ministry...we never have a "normal" day!
This week, we are doing a newsletter mailing so our family and friends will be updated with the pandemic.   Three questions I answered in our letter: how are we doing?  how is COVID affecting our ministry? how is God working through this pandemic?
The bag of addressed and stamped envelopes is waiting by the front door to be mailed.
Done.
Tomorrow, Walter is hosting a Zoom AGM (annual general meeting) for NCEM.  It was to be held at a staff conference in mid-April at Dallas Valley Ranch Camp near Regina, but that all was cancelled.  Thus technology saves the day, once again!  So as Walter coordinates the meeting, sends out the  invitations to the 100+ members and the chairman gives his directions, as well, we have been busy in anticipation of this new way to do meetings.  Everyone had to mail in ballots for the items that required voting.  Interesting times.
Walter is also helping coordinate distribution of masks, gloves and disinfectants to northern communities.  With the resources of Northern Youth Programs out of Dryden, ON and Samaritan's Purse in Calgary, we are also teaming with Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada to fly in to communities and be a blessing.  We hope to also give out Tribal Trails videos and maybe literature or Bibles if the folks would like such materials.  This is what the ministry during a time like this is all about!
With the nicer temperatures, we have taken frequent walks - usually one hour or over 7,000 steps.  I've completed two puzzles (1,500 piece and 1,000 piece) with Daniel's help.  I also washed down all my bathroom and laundry room walls to do a spring cleaning.  But that cleaning spree has now passed and I'd rather be doing something outdoors now.
Hope y'all are doing well.  As there are plans for gradual and cautious reopening of our SK businesses and services, we hope for life to restart.  Lord, give our leaders wisdom and grant us favour.
My theme verse has been: "Be still and know that I am God.  I will be honoured by every nation.  I will be honoured throughout the world."  (Psalm 46:10)  May this be so, Lord!
