QUOTA November 2009

*Nov 1-13 we host another S.A.F.E. (Step Aside For Encouragement) program aimed at helping missionaries gain a better understanding of God’s love and care for them. Long-term cross-cultural ministry has to be one of the most difficult vocations ever. Personal stress is multiplied due to the cultural differences, spiritual warfare is intense, people get wounded emotionally and worn out physically… and when they return home, often the church does not understand the stress that they face.

Please pray with us as we host this 2 week program, that we will be channels of God’s healing and blessing to the 1 family from Singapore (served in Philippines), and 1 single American lady from Cambodia who will attend. As the name implies,we want this to be a SAFE place for them. May His Name be glorified as these tired servants are encouraged and refreshed.

Life has been super full these last 2 weeks and we are a bit tired... sorry for the late notice on this......

A number of other friends will be helping in various ways:

Dave and Phyllis Enns will help with some of the cooking.

2 other couples will be helping to teach some sessions, and we have 2 volunteer baby sitters

Thanks so much for standing with us in this .

In His Strong Arms,

Henry

September 2009 QUOTA

May 29: we headed back to Canada to re-connect with a number of supporters and spend a little bit of time visiting our family…We had saved up for this, as our furlough account does not have enough to cover expenses, but it was well worth the trip. Due to a number of complications our Warkentin family reunion did not happen. However, our children, with the help of some dear friends and relatives, put on a 30^th Anniversary Tea for us.

For those whom we were not able to connect with, we sincerely apologize. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this.

Back in Singapore:

ACTI:

I wish we could say that all is well, but last week I had to cancel our training course as we only had 2 applicants out of about 10inquiries. Some stated they would come in January instead. But the lack of applicants has caused our Board of Directors to seriously consider drastic changes. As we pray for direction for the training centre and personally, we do remember that God is in control. We continue to be busy with a number of things, including helping other missionaries with various tasks. Thank you for praying with us.

Indonesian Domestic Workers:

A bit of a struggle to find the pulse of our present group. 10 to 12 ladies attend, of whom we can only confirm that 2 are true believers; 8 are from another religion. Janet is alone in this ministry, as even the ladies who are believers are not mature enough to be of much help. Pray for strength and encouragement for Janet in this.

Batam Ministry House:

We ask for prayer for Linda, one of the ladies working at the Batam House. She has encountered some personal problems and needs to make a stronger commitment to follow the Lord in the situation. The future of this ministry also needs prayer.

Kalimantan:

I (Henry) continue to dialogue via e-mail, text messages and Skype-Out with our Denomination Leader in Pontianak. As the PPIK church continues to grow and reach out, we are reminded of the great privilege we have to be a part of God’s work in Kalimantan. It certainly is a very different world from what most of you are accustomed to, a world (culture) that we have come to enjoy, and miss! We wish we could get over there more often.

In His Strong Arms, Henry & Janet
