We've just recently come to the conclusion of our thirteen day swing all across the miles in Manitoba.  In years past , we have not had the privilege of singing in Manitoba an overabundance, and it was a pleasure to see many new faces, and share encouraging evenings with each one of them.  We felt right at home in our hockey jerseys, as most of the venues held people of all ages wearing hockey attire.  We also feel blessed to have shared the evenings in conjunction with Harold Giesbrecht, his wife Natalie, and Dean Davidson, the director and representative for CSSM camps located in Manitoba (Canadian Sunday School Mission).  God is doing amazing work in these camps dispersed throughout the nation, and it was neat to hear the testimonies of individuals taking part.  In the midst of the excitement, we were faced with a difficult endeavour.  Norma's eldest brother, Ron Frentz passed away a couple of weeks previous to the tour, and the funeral was to be held in Kelowna on the eighth day of our Manitoba swing.  CSSM was more than gracious to allow the family to fly out to the funeral.  Norma made the decision to stay an extra day, and the family returned home the next morning to be back in Manitoba for a concert in Altona.  In spite of little sleep, and the absence of a family member, God was present and undertook for what was another encouraging evening.  His faithfulness is always apparent and truely overwhelming time and time again.  Once again, we want to give all praise, honour and glory to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for His perfect life lived, and loving sacrifice!  Thank you to all those who attended, and to everyone for your unfailing prayer and support!
