Happy New Year Everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have any idea what the word \u201ckainos\u201d (pronounced \u201cki\u201d as in\nkind and \u201cnos\u201d as in nostalgia) means? \nIt is the Greek word for \u201cnew.\u201d \nGary and I own a business called Kainos Enterprises primarily for the\nsale of our various books plus any church consulting work. We also have a charity called Kainos\nInternational Ministries through which we have raised funds for orphanages in\nMyanmar, receipted for other endeavours; such as missionary work in Honduras\nand for our son, Rob\u2019s many short-term missionary trips across the world and\nhave helped with the financial records of some new church plants (Hillside\nChurch in Milton included). Our basic mandate\nfrom the beginning has been the involvement of any new Christian project or\nidea to help get it started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2019 affords another opportunity to focus on new events, concerns,\ninterests etc. that may or may not unexpectedly come around the corner for us\nall. My thoughts immediately travel to\nour Hillside Church which should have been well established by now; but sadly,\nthrough some setbacks it is important for us to determine a new schedule for\nour pathway to reach out to those who don\u2019t know anything about Jesus Christ. We are, however, very excited that one\ngentleman who has attended our church for over six months now declares that he\nhas a new life found in Christ. We are\nhungry for more through our Sunday services at East Side Marios that are really\nworking out well. We like their poster\non the wall, \u201cCome empty, leave full.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
December has been a rough \u201cgo\u201d for Sara and Aaron Bouchard. They did move into a new rental place at the\nbeginning of the month which has been positive, but they have had to face some unexpected\nproblems along the way in their unsettled state. Their family has had to deal with a lot of\nsickness, even to the point of their two-year old daughter, Everleigh, landing\nin the hospital last week with pneumonia for a few days. Please pray for encouragement and wisdom for\nthem in regard to Hillside\u2019s future along with financial stability for their painting\ncontract business. Upon a happier note\nthey are very much looking forward to the new arrival of their third child in\nApril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some are familiar with Lamentations 3:22-24, \u201cBecause of the\u00a0Lord\u2019s great love\u00a0we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, \u2018The\u00a0Lord\u00a0is my portion; therefore, I will wait for him.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 Whether we have experienced God\u2019s new compassion for us every morning or every year, whatever we do we can have hope to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New blessings for you in 2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
