Update from Quebec: “English for Kids” Bible Camps!
Ben Westerveld, OP Missionary to Quebec, reports that Bible lessons, English lessons, crafts,
games, and songs are being prepared for “English for Kids” camps, and asks for prayer that curious
parents and eager children will discover the camps and that the Lord will grant them open ears to
hear and receive the Word of life.
Update from Uganda: “Team Uganda” Arrives Soon!
Al Tricarico, OP Missionary to Uganda, reports that they look forward to the arrival of “Team
Uganda” in late June, whose main ministry will be teaching the Children’s Catechism, which was
recently translated and printed in the Karimojong language. The focus will be on those questions
and answers that teach on the offices of Christ (prophet, priest, and king). Please pray for this effort.
Update from the Boardwalk Chapel: Team Work!
A great deal has been accomplished at the Chapel and its staff housing with the help of volunteer
workers this month, including painting, cleaning, re-organization, repairs, and the installation of new
