Prayer Points

1. Pray for integrity among our political leaders. Since our last newsletter there has been a huge focus on alleged financial scandal under the Mulroney government many years ago.  Let's pray that the public inquiry will not only uncover the truth but also encourage honesty among everyone.
 
2. Let's pray for the chaplains who are currently serving the Van Doos in Afghanistan.  They have many unique opportunities to minister to the troops. Let's continue to pray for the recruitment of strong Christians into the Chaplaincy.
 
3. Thank you for praying for NHOP.  See the praise report below for all the ways that the Lord has been supplying our needs.

The Lord is supplying
 
In our last newsletter we mentioned our need for a hi-speed DVD/CD duplicator.  Praise God, we almost immediately had the funds provided by some of our regular partners.
 
We also want to give thanks to the Lord for some other financial breakthroughs.  We had been taking special time in October to pray for some of our other pressing needs.  We've been looking for a while to replace our van.  $15,000 was recently given for that need. 
 
If you have been here this Fall you know we have started renovating another space in our basement with hopes to create a small apartment for our resident cook and maintenance man.  The total project is estimated to cost us $25,000.  We have also seen $15,000 come in toward that goal in the last few days.  Praise the Lord!

Greetings,
 
    This week's visiting team is from Grimsby, Ontario.  We enjoyed having a younger team from Langley, B.C. the previous week.  It's always great to meet passionate intercessors from every corner of the country.  We had a chance to do that in Calgary at the School of Intercession and also in Sudbury last weekend.
    Fran Parker was also in Winnipeg last week to meet with 60 other national intercessors and will be in Gander, Nfld. this weekend accompanied by Peta Ellis one of our Prayer Missionaries, to attend a "Watchmen" Gathering.  It's been a wonderful season of re-connecting with prayer warriors from across the country.
 
 
"Imagine" Report 
 
Imagine Worship

It was our privilege to provide prayer support for the Church Planting Canada congress last week.  By all accounts it was a great success.  Pictured above is the worship team from Sequoia who brought the crowd of up to 700 into the presence of the Lord each session.

An extra bonus for us was the prayerwalk of Parliament Hill and the visit to our NHOP centre by over 600 of the delegates in the middle of the day last Wednesday.  Needless to say we went through a lot of homemade cookies!

Thanks to all of you who joined us in intercession from your prayer closet.
