As Howard and I continue to raise supporters in preparation for heading to Lethbridge we like to let you know what is going on there. God is moving and working and preparing people's hearts to hear the Good News of Jesus. Here is just a sampling of what is and has happened recently:
This Sunday, November 2nd, we're having Celebration Sunday!!! Professions of Faith, Baptisms, New Members joining Amazing Grace... It's going to be a great time at Westminster Elementary School Gymnasium!

Our fellow worker in Lethbridge Rohan Crown received this award at the end of the school year - click on the link to read about how he is investing in the neighborhood.

Most Exciting! A new building for the Amazing Kids and Amazing Grace ministries to meet at is almost here. Check out these photos of the building that Howard took while he was visiting last month. A large building right on the edge of the neighborhood were the Amazing Kids and Amazing Grace Community church minster to. Pray for this to become a reality for the ministries - it would be a great place to have to expand the work being done.
Read this recent message from Rohan regarding the news.
To All,
There have been many moments where I have sat back and stood in awe of what God is doing. This is another one of those times!!!
Through the testimony of the work of God through Amazing Grace, Amazing Kids & AY we have had someone step forth and put in an offer on a facility for our use. This is an absolute huge and amazing blessing and gift. This building would allow us to grow and expand the work we are doing with kids and youth through Amazing Kids and AY and also give us a permanent place of worship for Amazing Grace.
Over the next few months there is lots of work to be done before the deal is finalized. Obviously certain conditions have to be completed and their has to be a zoning change in order for us to use the facility for what we need it for. If by God's grace the conditions are all fine and the building is for our use there will also be costs to renovate and get the building functional. These are areas of prayer for us!!!
So pray for us here in Lethbridge that we would continue to walk by faith in this process and for he guidance and direction as we move forward. Also give thanks for the graciousness that has been given to us.
As we move forward I will keep you update to the progress of what God is doing with this!!!!
Thanks for your continual prayers for us and our ministry here in Lethbridge. Some of you have been journeying with us now for over 7 years in prayer. So thanks for persevering on your knees for our family and the work of the Gospel in Lethbridge.
In Christ, Rohan

This is awesome, Mr. and Mrs. Vander Griend,
As a youth myself, I am grateful that you are willing to follow God's call to ministering to these kids. You are right when you say "exciting". It really is. Just imagine how many kids will be deeply affected by your ministry here once the building stage is complete. This is truly an example of being a Soldier of God.
God bless and don't stress,
- Trent Blake
