Doug & Cynthia Peters: March Prayer Letter
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Los Angeles! Today is a cool, rainy day—something we don’t see too often, but we’re grateful for it. The rain has been refreshing, bringing much-needed nourishment to the land, even as we continue to enjoy some warm days in between.
We are doing well and so thankful for your prayers. Our girls in university are deep into their studies, preparing for their third-quarter finals. Hard to believe that after this, there’s just one more quarter to go! We’re especially excited as we look ahead to June, when Olivia will be graduating from UC San Diego. What a joy to see this season of hard work come to fruition!
As we send along our latest prayer letter, please know how much we appreciate you—your friendship, your support, and your prayers. We are deeply blessed by each of you.
With gratitude and blessings,
The Peters Family

Denver & Katie Janz || January Update
Happy to be back in San Carlos! We sure have missed it here. We’ve been busy prepping for school and tackling various projects. We have Steve and Kathy Derksen down here helping currently (Steve and Kathy are on the BMSLA Board). They’ll be here for another week or so. We also have another couple, Jake and Ingrid Friesen from Manitoba here for 8 weeks. Jake is our mission president of BMSLA. They’ve helped serve during the course of the last three years. So lots on the go with lots of help.
Please continue to pray for the ministry of CEC. Currently, we only have a few applications handed in. Our closing day for receiving applications is Monday.
Please be praying that God will send more. We want to trust in His good and perfect sovereign plan for the ministry of CEC no matter the outcome. We know that if He wants to send students He will! He is faithful and always knows what's best for us to continue in and grow in our relationship with Him. We serve a good and loving God.
So yes… join us in prayer, that God would grant us much wisdom and peace in proceeding this coming week, as we enter into this faith journey. Thank you for your fervent prayers and we cover them dearly!

Doug & Cynthia Peters || Dec 2024 Prayer Letter
We hope this letter finds you well and enjoying the blessings of this special season.
We just had a wonderful Thanksgiving week and were so happy to have our family together with our college girls. Both Olivia and Naomi were back home for a few days, and it was such a joy to catch up and spend time with them. We celebrated with Cynthia's sister and her family, and of course, we ate a lot of food! It was truly a blessing to share that time together.
As we look ahead to the Christmas break, we’re excited to all be together again. For now, we don’t have any big travel plans this month, which means a restful stay-at-home holiday—a gift in itself for which we are deeply thankful.
We pray that this season brings you peace, joy, and treasured moments with your loved ones. May the beauty of Christmas and the hope of the New Year fill your heart with warmth and happiness.
With love,
The Peters Family

Charity's Update || Dec 2024
Hello from a very windy, dusty and cooler Ghana.
I am happy to say that even though this season comes with a layer of dust instead of snow, it also cools things down and I even wear a sweater for the first 15 minutes of the morning :) The temperature hits around 18 before it heats up into the 30s during the day.
Here is a quick update on the people I have asked you to pray for. Thank you for bringing me and the Sisaala people before the throne of God. I am humbled and very grateful.
Praising God for you,
Charity

Pulsifer Update || September 2024
We are in a very busy season having just finished the August medical/dental outreach with YWAM Ships Philippines last week delivering over 4000 services.
Following that outreach, the Backpack Journalism course was a tremendous success with people from 8 nations represented.
The YWAM Together Conference is now underway despite many logistical challenges. Approximately 4500 people have come from over 150 countries to celebrate, worship and plan for the next generation of global missionaries. We are helping with their media needs.
Pray for endurance, consistency and perseverance as we press into this season of service.

Pulsifer Info Night || July 18, 2024
Dear SCC,
Just wanted to send out a final, last-minute reminder to you all about our mission update evening next Thursday 7 PM in the BEFC Youth Room.
This is going to be an evening of dessert and stories from our “warts and all” mission adventures. From 7-8:30 PM, we want to use our story to show people how God is as interested in using “those who are willing” as much as He is interested in “those who are already prepared”.
We’d love to see some of the SCC family there.
Blessings,
Craig & Lib

Dear SCC,
You are all invited to attend a Media Missions Update evening on Thursday, July 18 (7:00 - 8:30 pm) at the BEFC Basement Youth Room.
Drawing on our recent experiences serving with YWAM Ships, we hope to encourage others to engage missionally (regardless of mission group or affiliation). The plan is to use our own “warts-and-all” story to show how the Lord prepares His people to fulfill His purposes in His Time.
If you are interested, we would gladly send more information to spread the word to your membership. Please let us know.
Thank you for your faithful support and regular encouragement.
Blessings,

Good morning to you all,
I don't know what to say. I can't believe that our official ministry with WorldVenture has come to an end. We have looked forward to this new season and prepared for it and now it is here. You have shared in our lives and how much we appreciate you. Your prayers have been received by our Heavenly Father and we are grateful to Him and you both.
Jaimie Owens Collin sings a song called Hard Times. Take a moment to listen to it. Living in Oregon gives the words a double meaning!!
THANKS FOR BEING IN OUR LIVES. GOD BLESS YOU AND MAKE YOU A BLESSING.

Peters Spring 2024 Update
Warm greetings to you all as we eagerly anticipate the official arrival of spring! Does it feel like spring time where you are right now? I always look forward to the time change so that we have more hours of daylight after school. And for some reason it feels warmer too, so that makes me feel happy and think about Spring.
Our girls are doing well, they are just starting their finals week for the Winter Quarter and are eagerly waiting for Spring break week after that. Elijah is doing well, he is excited to have the girls be home for that week.
We pray you are all doing well during this season.
Thanks for your prayers and support.

Janz Spring 2024 Update
Thanks for letting us know about being one of the featured missionaries of the month. We are so thankful too SCC for the spotlight and love on missions. We feel so blessed to know that so many are praying for us another missionaries in very real and specific ways, thanks! We are doing well. We are nearly half way through our course. Hard to believe, right? God has been good. He has been faithful. He is answering prayers and working in hearts. We are running full speed ahead with so much on the go, but in it all, we are being guided by the Holy Spirit. God is not far off, but in our midst. You can continue to pray that we would continue to experience the grace fo the cross as we serve. That our focus may remain on Christ. That we may rest in His strength and run to Jesus in every aspect and detail we face. That we would remain strong, focused, determined, all with a heart Joy, as we serve shoulder to shoulder. And of course, that this students may continue to be molded and shaped by the Word of God, strengthening their love for Jesus!
We look forward to seeing everyone soon. We plan to be in BC early June give or take.
Blessings,

Peters - Update March 2023
Hello friends,
If you have seen any of the weather from Los Angeles on the news or in photos, you will know that we have had a LOT of rain and wind and then snow in the local mountains. It is pretty rare for us, but we have also enjoyed all the beautiful views of the local snowy mountains, even though we have a few friends that are stuck in their mountain homes.
Our kids were so excited when the rain turned into hail for a little while here right in our front yard! It was an interesting sight!
Please see attachment for our prayer letter as well as the latest newsletter from our school.
Thanks for your prayers and support.

Allen's December 2022 Update
Good morning to you wherever you are,
We experienced a stirring Christmas program at church last night and are inspired to send you wishes for a blessed Christmas season this year. Glancing back over the year 2022, who would have planned it in that fashion? But, on second thought, I don't think I would have changed a thing. So the thoughts of concern or worry for 2023 wisely, should be replaced with trust in God's guidance and with vigil prayer. With that in my mind, I share the following news letter that Rod has prepared just for you.
All things in His time and in His care,
the Allens

Prayer Request from the Dyck's
Good morning everyone,
I am doing all I can for Howard's recuperation....diet, physical therapy, cognitive therapy, upon his diagnosis of the encephalitis from West Nile virus is all they say one can do. At this point there is no improvement. This will be a long road. I, my family, and doctor feel he would do just as well or better at home. So I am proceeding with paperwork to be excused of the rest of my time in Canada for my DOR, determination of residence.
The problem with moving him now lies with our insurance company. I am asking for prayer for favor with the government, and with our insurance company. I feel very strongly that I should take him home for many reasons.

Allen's Oct 2022 Update
Latest from Rod and Jackie
Good evening to you all, We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. When God appears to be most absent in your life, He is at work.
Some things in life are a little difficult to share but God sends the rain on the just and the unjust doesn't He? So as you read what Rod has written we appreciate your prayers. May God direct your prayers and bless your lives for His glory. Thanks for making our life here possible. We couldn't do it without you. Sounds like a cliche no? but it's true!!
Sincerely, Jackie

Charity Cadieux - Feb 2022
Thank you so much for your encouraging emails and reminders that our team is much bigger than those on the ground here in Tumu. God has given our team the beauty of a network of people around the world that joins together to pray for the Sisaala people and more specifically, in these exciting days - the youth.
Tomorrow we have our opening program for our youth club. We will begin at 2pm - register the youth, play games with them and have a presentation about the purpose and future events coming up.
We have no idea how many youth will be coming. Our venue has a limit and this may force us to break the youth into 2 groups. In the future we need a neutral venue that will be able to accommodate our youth, have chairs and a meeting place but also have an outdoor area for games. Please pray for this place.
We have heard interesting things about what people think the purpose of this youth club is. We are sure the rumours have blown in many ideas and some have made us laugh, while others have caused a bit of stress. Please pray for good communication with the youth so they understand what this youth club is all about.
Pray against attacks from Satan (The 4 "d's" - his deceptions, his divisions, his distractions and his discouragements) He doesn't want us to engage the youth with a vision to disciple them and reach out to those that don't know Jesus. It will be a battle and we want to be vigilant.
I have included a couple of pictures of our meeting last Saturday with our resource personnel who will be helping us teach and train youth in various skills or help them in their school studies in the future. We had many teachers come to the meeting and we are grateful for those that will partner with us to help the youth that God brings to our club.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for your prayers!

February 7, 2022
As I sit at my desk and think over the past 5 weeks and what has taken
place, all I can do is marvel. Plus say thank you Lord for HIS faithfulness.
Strange year so far but we will rejoice and glad in it. All of our teachers
have had something and still not %100 but we move on. We are in our third
week now of classes and going strong. The Lord has brought us 8 students so
different and so unique in their own way but so much fun and they are very
eager to learn the Word of God.
Thank you for your prayers as many of you have written us and encouraged us
through your words. The battle is on but we live in victory.
Thanks you and more news later.
Howard and Susan.

Allen's Support Letter Feb 2021
Dear Friends and supporters. Please find attached our recent letter. Life here has been more hectic than ever before, if that is possible.
A quick update with the letter... Last night I had even more new people connect from some of the more remote parts of NW Argentina. The seminary has become a major challenge since virtual connections are erasing the lines between resident seminaries and extension seminaries. We're having to adapt as we go, but in our culture, people are accustomed to leaving things to the last minute and then showing up physically.
Thanks again for everything - His and yours - Rod and Jackie

Please pray for good preparation time - limited distractions so I can soak up all the time I need to prepare for each program.
Pray for me to remember the stories well and be able to speak so that the youth can clearly understand.
Pray for the youth, that they will come with a thirst and desire to know and love God more.
Pray against any distractions that Satan will try and use to attack this training time.
Praise God for the opportunity to share God's Word and to encourage youth to grow in their walk with the Lord.

Peters Prayer Needs Feb 2021
Doug and I wanted to share how God has opened the door for World Impact to be in collaboration with Trauma Healing Institute (THI: https://traumahealinginstitute.org/about) and Quest Movement ministry (https://www.questmovement.org/about) in the commitment to heal the wounds of trauma in our communities. We are responding to a long overdue health service that recognizes that trauma has and does affect every part of a person as well as a collective group (mind, body and spirit). And for this reason, we are humbled to walk alongside our urban leaders and churches to help serve our communities with this much needed resource.
We are having our first virtual Generational Trauma Healing Groups (Quest Movement) in the west region on Mondays and Thursdays starting on February 8th from 6pm to 9pm and desire to have your prayer support. The facilitators will be led by Karin, Sia, Deborah, and Cynthia. And we just found out today that we are at full capacity! So humbled!
We are believing God is going to move in mighty ways during these healing group and will open more doors for churches to receive God’s fruitful gift of healing for wounded hearts!
If you have any questions or need more history of how we came this trauma healing need, please don’t hesitate to connect with us. We would love to share more.
Transforming Souls Together,
Doug and Cynthia Peters
P.S. I’ve attached a prayer guide to this email.

Block's Prayer Letter/Update January 2021
Latest from the Block's. A short introductory note here - then read their January 2021 Prayer Letter and Update via the downloaded attachment.
Dear Saints,
In 2021 it will be exceedingly difficult to stay focused on Jesus. Health, earthly riches, safety . . . much of what we have now . . . will be significantly threatened or even reduced. But Jesus Himself will still be fully ours: "My Jesus! I love Thee! I know thou art mine!"
And so we are eagerly spending TIME . . . taking Jesus' advice (in Lk.21) to get still, and wait on Him in private prayer.
Saints. Don't wait. Use these weeks in January already (and then use this whole winter!) to: STRENGTHEN yourselves!
. . . by spending TIME with Jesus in private prayer. . . so that you'll BE ABLE to persevere / BE ABLE to get through these last days with your own life of loyalty and loving obedience to Jesus still intact at the end of it all. If you draw near to Him, then He will draw near to you! If you humble yourself in private prayer then engaging with Him will give you the strength / "grace" that you and those around you are going to need.
Please read our 2021 WINTER prayer letter attached. We are in absolute need of God's action in response to your prayers.
Thank you so very very much for every mention of us to the Lord when you pray!
Much love, David & Sherry Block
p.s. Please forgive us for failing to respond to recent correspondence from supporting churches. We were unusually overwhelmed with intense, ministry, family and local situations in December. Thank you so much for your patience. We never want to take your decades-long devotion in prayer for us . . . for granted. "We owe you!" We are indebted.

Charity Cadieux - An Unexpected Journey
What can I even write?! To begin with, it has been an unexpected journey to get to Ghana. It has been hard, confusing, exciting, scary, frustrating and filled with laughter and tears. I have never cried so much in airports in my life and for so many varying reasons. One thing I have learned – face masks are good at hiding the tears (unless there are so many that the bottom becomes soggy 🙂)
It's Thanksgiving weekend and I have so much to be thankful for. I was hoping that I would have a small story of how I got back to Ghana, but instead I feel like I could write a book. I will write more in the coming days but today I wanted to give you the best news. I MADE IT, I MADE IT!!!!! My weary feet have smacked down on Ghana soil in the midst of a storm and I am so very grateful. What a special weekend to celebrate as I have so much to be thankful for. So many people have prayed and encouraged, helped and supported me to get here. God is so gracious and faithful as He went with me each step of the way. I felt His love so tangibly in the people who helped me in each part of my journey. Thank you God for bringing me back home and for each and every one along the way. My heart is full, I am profoundly grateful! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Allen's Update - September 2020 Prayer Letter
Dear Friends and Supporters:
Life has been very challenging here recently, especially in September.
A quick update from the last 24 hours. Salta is going back to a phase 1 quarantine (we've now gone over 190 days with one form or another of isolation). That means only the bare minimum amount of travel except in emergency cases. This time the extension is for 3 weeks instead of 2. A new ministry has opened up. I have six families who are contacting me almost daily in regards to their own COVID infections. The government follow-up system is mostly bureaucratic paperwork to accumulate data. I'm the go-between for checking in that they aren't getting worse and answering questions such as "is the rash on my knees due to COVID".
Pray for the doctors I work with, especially the heads of private hospitals. Due to some mis-management by the government, their hospitals could go broke since they were not allowed to treat patients for months and then overnight were forced to take on hundreds of patients who supposedly have health care, but who's providers are usually six to nine months behind in paying the hospitals. In the medical world in Argentina, the majority of what is needed for COVID emergencies is imported and a private hospital can't just go out and buy several dozen ICU respiratory machines. The machines are priced in dollars and that's another story. At present, there are five different exchange rates for the dollar ranging from 73 to 150 pesos to the dollar with the higher amount being what a hospital would have to pay to import machines, if they could get them through customs which are currently shut down due to the virus....

Covid-19 - Thoughts from a Missionary
In what ways do “Current Covid Social Distancing Living”(CSDL) and “Missionary Daily Living”(MDL) look similar?
Written by a Missionary Friend. Thought this might be an encouraging read during this pandemic time – and maybe bring an appreciation for where we are and lead us to pray and think of our missionaries who face this every day.

Charity Cadieux -April 2020
Hi Church Family,
I hope that you are all doing well. I have been on my home assignment here in Canada for 8 months out of a 9 month term which will probably (and sadly) be extended due to the COVID crisis. These last weeks have been completely different than the plans I made. One thing that has been so evident to me is that the church is the body of Christ. I miss the meeting together here in Canada and in Ghana because the church is the people of God, not a building. In Ghana, not all villages have their own building, some meet in a house, under a tree or in a classroom. Does this diminish the beauty of the body of Christ? Not at all because it is about the people that have gathered, its about the relationship and love we have for each other and for our neighbours, it is a place that we can gather together in unity and worship the most amazing and wonderful God. We hear God’s word given and are challenged and encouraged to grow in our faith and love of Jesus. We go forth into the week with this beautiful gift of the Body. The virus may have ‘seemed’ to steal this from us…yet I am hearing how God is giving new opportunities to the church around the world to reach out in creative ways. It is exciting to see how God will use us in this particularly difficult and unfamiliar season of life. I have taken it for granted and mourn the loss of something that may not be possible for some time. But I am also seeing the beauty of what God is and will do with unifying the body of Christ and mobilizing the church for His kingdom work. I am praying for SCC, for churches in Canada, in Ghana and around the world as we navigate this new world and continue to build God’s kingdom.
Here is a little clip of a church that meets in a classroom in a village called Sakalu. It's one of the places that I love to be - praising Jesus together with these precious people. Please pray that God would strengthen their faith and love for Him and that they would be unified and committed to loving their community. Copy and paste the link:

Allen, April 2020
Dear Friends, Supporters, Churches, et. al. (I'm never quite sure what that means but it's fun to write)...
Here is a quick update from the quarantine in Argentina. The nice thing is, we live on a spacious property so we don't feel shut in. Besides the letter I'm attaching, we have some more news for your prayers. Some of you may remember us talking about two ladies who were very sick when we left Argentina for home assignment in January 2019. Eva died a year ago this month. I was in contact with Emilda several times in the past 10 days. She was finally sent to Buenos Aires where she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Due to the change of governments and the Corona Virus, she missed two months of chemotherapy since the hospital here in Salta didn't have any medication since all funding has been channeled into virus control.
After conversing with her son, I was able to make contacts with a network of pharmacies and we were able to get her the medication she needed. It took a week to arrive and last Monday she came to Salta to have her labwork. She called Monday night to let me know she needed more medication for the chemo on Tuesday morning. Getting to the main pharmacy in town involves going through seven police checks, but the medications were in and we were able to get it to her about 10 PM Monday. Tuesday she had her chemo and returned to her home town, a four hour drive from Salta. She is down from 32 kilos to 25 kilos of weight, but has responded well to the chemotherapy when she can get it. She's due to be back in Salta in 3 weeks for a check up and then they'll determine if they can section her stomach to get rid of the cancer. This has been a rough two years for her and her family.
Thanks again for praying and helping support our part in God's ministry in Argentina - Rod and Jackie
