ReFocusing . . . and then implementation
Thank you for praying for Hope Fellowship Church in Saskatoon during these past few months as they stepped through the ReFocusing process. Tomorrow they will conclude the formal part of this process, and then next comes discernment as to how they will implement their refocused ministry direction. Director of Harvest Saskatchewan Dwayne Barkman has been mentored through this process by Dave Jackson of the Canadian Conference. Pray for Dwayne as he now prepares to lead other churches through the ReFocusing process.

Praise the Lord for their leadership in the absence of a lead pastor. Please pray for Conference Minister Ralph and his wife Grace Gliege as they minister in Waldheim today.
Beechy considers ReFocusing
Pray for Director of Harvest Saskatchewan Dwayne Barkman as he does a brief ReFocusing presentation as part of his ministry today at Hillside Christian Fellowship Church in Beechy.
