MINISTRY UPDATE – OCTOBER 2017
GORDON GILBEY
SERVING IN
NORTH-WESTERN MANITOBA and NORTH-EASTERN SASKATCHEWAN
Welcome to my next season of serving Christ through LAMP!  After faithfully serving as the Executive Director of Missionfest Manitoba for fourteen years, the Lord chose to shake up my life and called me to northern missions through LAMP.  My duties include building relationships with seventeen communities in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.  This entails the recruitment and positioning of teams in each of these communities who will provide a number of programs which will proclaim the hope of the Gospel and strengthen the Christian presence in the Canadian North. 
SUMMER 2017 - My first summer was absolutely amazing!  I felt the Lord smiling as each of the teams soared as they conducted their summer ministry programs.  There were many, many fantastic moments during the summer.  The teams conducted a Vacation Bible School (VBS) in each of the seventeen communities.  There were also a number of community barbeques, Bible studies, ladies’ programs, youth nights and more! 

Sandy Bay produced my favorite moment from the summer.  This year they offered a basketball camp for the youth.  Basketball is huge in Sandy Bay and throughout the north.  The rough-and-ready youth turned out and had an opportunity to learn a bit more about basketball and, more importantly, that they have a Saviour who loves them.  The picture shows the youth gathered in prayer at centre court.  Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!
BREAKING NEWS!

I am very proud of Kim as she has started her new job as a teacher for the visually impaired, and begins working toward the Masters in Special Education degree which is necessary for her position.  Please keep Kim in your prayers as she embarks in this new direction.
 
PRAYER:
Thanks so much for your prayers and support!  Please pray for:
  • Strength and wisdom during the transition
  • Opportunities to build relationships with community leaders
  • Health and strength for the winter months
