\u201cO.K. let\u2019s cut it down!\u201d\u00a0 After too many years I finally agreed with Gary to dispose of a spindly evergreen that I had purchased about 16 years go for $5. I had planted it too close to the side of our house porch which was a bad decision.\u00a0 Now it was reaching to the sky above our roofline and tangling itself in our house wires.\u00a0 Every time I accidentally touched its needles an itchy rash broke out on my arms. With my mind made up, I started clipping away at the lower branches.\u00a0 Soon after Gary appeared on the scene with his electric \u201cSawsall\u201d, the 20-foot trunk was denuded in no time with branches lying everywhere on the ground.\u00a0 He even climbed up on the porch roof to cut some away.\u00a0 Men!\u00a0 Here\u2019s a fun fact for you: 20 bags of yard waste = one demolished evergreen.\u00a0 I am glad our garbageman didn\u2019t complain.\u00a0 We will get our friendly neighbour to finish the task with his chain saw. \u00a0The wrong has been righted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020 and 2021, our charity, Kainos International Ministries was approved to receive Canada Summer Jobs funding to hire students for Hillside Church\u2019s outreach in Milton.\u00a0 The first year closed off well but during the second year, somehow our case worker stopped responding to Scott Lockhart after many attempts and our account was not properly dealt with.\u00a0 Recently we received a bill from the government requiring us to pay back over $7000 they had sent us to pay our students which is rather discouraging. Scott, and now along with me, have made numerous attempts to reconnect with this case worker and her supervisor, but to no avail.\u00a0 I have even emailed our local Brampton MP who has agreed to touch base with them on our behalf. So far, this wrong has not been righted.\u00a0 We could really use your prayers on this one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milton is full of citizens who are discouraged, depressed, focussed on fulfilling their own needs and direction in life.\u00a0 That is why we have wanted to establish Hillside Church in this fast-growing community over the past few years for we know we can help right their wrong decisions and give them hope for the future on earth and for eternity.\u00a0 We have seen it happen time and time again for other lives through the years.\u00a0 We just need to gain their attention so we can tell them about Jesus Christ\u2019s love and interest in them.\u00a0 However, various obstacles keep blocking our path.\u00a0 We must keep relying on Jesus\u2019 powerful words in John 10:10, \u201cI have come that they may have\u00a0life, and have it to the full.\u201d\u00a0 Scott is more determined than ever to proceed with his plan to see Hillside develop more and more.\u00a0 He is working hard at creating his lead generation business for bringing in an income to meet his financial needs.\u00a0 He has connected with several people over the past couple of weeks to this end.\u00a0 Please pray that he will turn a corner this fall.\u00a0 The sale of his house in Timmins closes today.\u00a0 Also, Gary has been visiting downtown Milton every Wednesday afternoon to gain information about the town and make some new contacts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy another long holiday weekend before our children, grandchildren and teachers head back to school!\u00a0 Please pray that they will not be influenced by their peers to make wrong decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
