Our Missionary Spotlight for this month is Josh and Deb Wong who are serving in Halifax. It's a busy season for Josh and Deb as they continue to work with P2C leadership with their strategy in developing student leaders to bring more post secondary students to Christ. One area of focus is "Helping students take their next steps with God" where energy is spent building meaningful relationships and opening new doors through friendships. Here are some personal and ministry prayer requests from Josh and Deb:
Ministry:
We are sending Mission Trips for the first time in a couple of years. Please pray for the 35+ students who have been accepted to go on a mission trip experience this year would have the funds raised and their hearts prepared as they engage in gospel work across Canada and around the world.
Deborah and I are part of the leadership of P2C-Students and leading the ministry through a lot of change. Please pray that God's Spirit will help the ministry to effectively help students take their next step towards Jesus and bring about the change to do this well.
In a season where our staff and student leaders have pivoted numerous times, pray for resiliency as we go into a new season of preparation and engagement with a generation of students who crave community and connection. Pray that we will be able to connect well with seeking and searching students and create a welcoming and safe environment as we point them to Jesus.
Personal:
This past semester has been especially busy and tiring. Pray that both Josh and Deborah will be able to take some time to rest and recuperate well going into the Spring semester.
We have significant monthly financial support to raise. Pray that God will provide the $3000+/month needed for our minimum salary.
April is when we remember and celebrate the life of our firstborn, Abel Wong. Pray that we will spend meaningful time remembering and celebrating his life.
Josh and Deb will be coming to Calgary this summer. Until then be sure to stay connected with them by visiting their website!
