We rejoice with ANDRE CYR as he takes the important step of Believer’s
Baptism. May the Lord strengthen and encourage you, Andre, as you continue to
walk and trust in Him.
We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death
in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through
the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Rom.6:4
WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS
We are delighted to welcome GEORGE & SHARON MACDONALD into the
membership at First Baptist Church. May God bless you and keep you close to His
heart as we serve the Lord together.
I love the house where You live, O Lord, the place where your glory dwells.
Psalm 26:8
日本人学生は、あなたのおもてなしを必要とする
JAPANESE STUDENTS NEED YOUR HOSPITALITY!
From November 22 to December 4, 2014 a group of 54 students from Japan
is going to visit Nanaimo Christian School. While they have a full program with
schooling and sightseeing already arranged, they still need a bed to sleep in and a
family to welcome them to Canada. It’s a chance for your family to get to know a
different culture while sharing your faith. They are from Hatsushiba High School,
just south of Kyoto. NCS hosted students from this school last year and it was a
wonderful experience for students and host families alike. We will accommodate
the needs of your family as to gender and age of the student and there will be a
reimbursement for your costs of $28.00/day.
Please consider opening your home and host a Japanese student.
Contact [email protected], or (250-754-4512) and leave a message
for Christina James – Homestay Coordinator / NCS International Department.

The ministry’s name was
eventually changed to
Precept Ministries International
(PMI), in order to more
clearly communicate the
organization’s focus of
establishing people
in God’s Word.
Since co-founding Precept
Ministries International,
Kay has written more than
100 books and Bible studies,
with over 11 million in print.
Her inductive Bible studies are
available in nearly 150 countries.

Kay and her second husband, Jack,
were serving as missionaries in Mexico
in the late 1960s when medical problems
forced them to leave the mission field.
They returned to their home base in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, confident
that the Lord had further plans for them.
Jack became the station manager
of a local Christian radio station,
and Kay taught the Bible to
teens in their living room.
The number of teens attending Kay’s
Bible study group steadily grew, and
a 32-acre farm was purchased to
accommodate the expanding ministry,
which was named Reach Out Ranch.
Some of the book titles
Kay has authored are,
Lord, Teach Me To Pray;
Lord, Heal My Hurts
Lord, I Want to Know You,
Search My Heart Oh God
and many more.
Kay and Jack have dedicated four
decades to equip Christians with
the tools necessary to mine
the Scriptures on their own.
Come in and browse our selection
of excellent books by Kay Arthur.
