Our annual church business meeting was last Sunday, and what a blessing it was! It is now as though the heavy burdens the church had faced since December have been lifted. The folks are more united than we have seen in eight years of ministry here, and they are more excited about being a part of things. Although we did lose a few recently, six believers have expressed a desire to become members soon. Melanie has picked up a Bible Study with a single mother. Mike currently has Bible Studies with one young couple to help with their marriage and with another young couple to prepare them for a wedding in May. God is strengthening us! Christ is building His church!

And of course, there is Catherine. We saw God answer prayer through her most recent visit to the specialist in Montr�al. Her medicine was changed, and since then she has not had a single seizure!

She is anxious to be able to return to her studies, at least by way of internet. Her heart's desire is to be able somehow to return for studies in the States.
