Below is a prayer update sent to the Oakridge Bible Chapel family from Brian and Sally Seim, missionaries who serve the Lord with SIM Canada as an extension of OBC’s gospel ministry.
October Updates
- For those of you who continue to Pray for us—thank you. This is a very tedious time for you, for I will ask you to pray about similar things as last month. Do not give up. My thesis is being completed. I continue with my revisions. The current revision is expanding and refining my literature review.
- We are getting closer to the wire on our e-conference called sharethelight.com. Take a look at the website and see what the concerns are.
- The summer is over and the missionaries whom I mentor are getting back into ‘regular’ ministry situations. They ask many more questions in the autumn, as they get going. Much fun. Pray for wisdom as I interact with them.
- Our English as a Second Language program at Oakridge Bible Chapel started again last week. We have about ninety students and eight Chinese administrators. We will take Sally and my class out to Crawford Lake on October 5 to learn about ‘First Nations’ and how they lived in pre-European times. Pray for the opportunities we have to interact with these folks.
By job title, Alice is the office administrator at Oakridge. But her behind-the-scenes efforts go far beyond that! She is actively involved in the leadership team for the Tuesday evening women's bible study, she is on the mission committee, and she has recently both stepped into the leadership of church bridal and baby shower celebrations, and started teaching in our Ozone kids program. Oh, and if you see any special seasonal or holiday decorations around the church, it's a safe bet that Alice was involved!
