Praises
Canada
-
Lifeline participated in the “Love High River” service day at a town south of Calgary that was impacted by last year’s devastating flood. This was a community effort with volunteers coming together from the local churches and organizations like Samaritan’s Purse Canada and Habitat for Humanity. Almost 150 volunteers worked on a variety of projects around town. The Simms Family worked all day with a team to remove the remaining silt in one homeowner’s backyard, uncovering hidden walkways and landscaping stones. It looked much more like a home following the team’s efforts!
Haiti
- The container filled with peanut butter and ABC food arrived this past Saturday in Haiti!
Honduras
Navajo Ministry
-
After a couple years, Brian Schultz and his wife Alicia both gave their life to Christ! We went out to Clear Creek and baptized them in the middle of the fishermen…they were catching fish as we baptized Brian and Alicia. What a praise to be able to baptize them. In 2012, we had the privilege of baptizing their two boys, Seth and Aiden, and now the parents have also surrendered their life to Jesus Christ. Praise God!
United States
- Lifeline is blessed to be an exhibitor and organizing food packing events at the upcoming NACC (Indianapolis, IN) and ICOM (Columbus, OH) conventions. Individuals can pre-register for the NACC or register the day of the conference. For ICOM, churches can register their entire congregation online.

 Prayer Requests
-
The garage door at Red Sands Christian Church (Navajo ministry) needs replaced: the cable broke, causing the door to crash down, rendering it unusable. (see photo) Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. The entire package of the door, springs, and framing is needed since the springs had not worked for many years. We are finalizing quotes this week, but so far we are looking at about $1800 to replace a 16 ‘ x 8’ steel garage door. This is needed quickly as many of the needed tools and food packing equipment cannot be used until this door is able to be opened. Please pray for individuals or churches to assist with this need; contact Brian@Lifeline.org if you can help us.
- In Honduras at the Omoa Children’s Home, they are planning a camp at CaryHill to focus on values, respect, honesty, and self-esteem. Please keep them in your prayers as they try to be an example and invest in the lives of these beautiful girls, so they can learn and understand from an early age what it means to follow Jesus.
- Prayers for Loretta, one of our Volunteer Receptionists, who is having additional testing.

Alone with God
 Now it is important to remember that some of the most profound ministries of the Spirit of God are not public or loud or large. Sometimes his most meaningful touch on our lives comes when we are all alone.
I urge you to include in your schedule time to be alone with God. I am fortunate to live within ninety minutes of the mountains … and less than forty-five minutes from the beach. Those are great places to commune with God. You do have places where you can get away for a long walk, don’t you? I hope it’s in a wooded area. The gentle breeze blowing through the forest is therapeutic. Sometimes just being alone out in God’s marvelous creation is all that’s needed for the scales to be removed from your eyes and for you to silence the harassment and the noise of your day and begin to hear from God.
