Praying for our brothers and sisters at Yukon Bible Fellowship, and what God is working there, Pastor Rick shares,
Pastor Bergman founded the work in 1974 with a special call to the First Nation People. YBF became a training center for the equipping of the Body of Christ and her influence in the many communities around the Yukon. Many Outreach churches were established.
Nancy and I have ministered in this church 3 different times since 1981 for a total of 19 years. We returned in June 2007 to help rebuild the work and refocus on YBF's original call.
The greatest stronghold in the North is the "spirit of independence". Our challenge becomes the message of "Joining", seeing the Body of Christ coming together.
Our praise has been to see the Lord add to His church over the past year; to see a fresh passion burn in peoples' hearts for the Lord and His Kingdom.
There has been a redefining of the vision: "To see the fullness of Christ's Image formed in each person and corporately and its powerful outworking in our community." We have begun a course "In Christ's Image."
We still have need for skilled workers: Worship leader, Youth Worker, Sunday School Supervisor. "Pray the Lord of the Harvest, that He may send Labourers in the field."
Nicole our 26 year old daughter has moved back with us. Nicole has been challenged with Spina-Bifida and is in a wheelchair. We pray for her continued health.
In Christ
