News from the west

So good to hear from you!

I believe Ernie was setting in motion the shipping of your requested Scriptures, and I hope they will be there soon.  Our new order for The Living LifeLight and How to Find God should be here any day.  Arnold Reimer is expediting that shipment.

 

Good to see the displays going up.  It is amazing the excuses people come up with NOT to distribute the most important book EVER.

 

It is wonderful to see you getting into the schools.  I understand Peter will be doing some distribution in northern Alberta as well.  I trust you 2 are keeping in touch.

 

I hope we will soon have a New Testament for distribution in the hotels.  If you can impact the movers and shakers in society, you will have more impact on society values than you can in any other way.  It is so important that these people see the Scriptures as God's Word for TODAY!

 

May God bless you as you reach out for Him in your Jerusalem and Judea!

Hi Ray

 

I tried to send a number of emails to different lifelight people by highlighting their names and email off the web site page and was unsuccessful. I am successful with their individual email addresses.

 

I have found time to get the ministry off the ground the last two weeks and please with the excitement I find when talking to people.

 

Two churches are going to set up displays.  Our Baptists church from Martinsville just north of Saskatoon, and Loon lake Native Fellowship, a reserve church a few miles away.

My church will also be looking to have a display and will be ordering soon.  Lloydminster First Baptist too will be making orders for various areas of their ministry.

 

I ran into a little reluctance today with a chairman of a ministerial.  He will not put me on the agenda of their meeting because he feels it is to much of a competition with the local Christian book store and he wants churches to go to the store to buy bibles not have free ones in their foyers.  Another objection I heard was the bibles are only new testaments not the complete bibles.  I'm sure you've heard all these.

 

I am ready for the first delivery of bibles for the reserves.  If arrangements can be made for 2000 bibles to be shipped to Lakeland Truck Ltd. Lloydminster Ab. they will keep the boxes for a few days until I can get there with a one ton van to take them to a storage place in Loon Lake.  Lloydminster is on the Yellow Head highway right on the border of Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The shop is right beside the Husky Truck stop and is a large truck shop so Penners will have no problem finding it and unloading there.

 

I have now 2 more reserves to take the bibles to which is a total of 7 schools.  They average approx. 150-200 children per school.  I hope to have these done before Christmas break.

 

Meadow lake, Saskatchewan has invited me to the ministerial to share the ministry with them. 5 evangelical churches there.

 

Looking forward to seeing what God has in store for His Word.

 

Chat with Marg about Missionfest yesterday. I will be glad to look after Edmonton.  Vancouver might work out too.  I understand your going there.  Lets see what works out.

 

 

Working together for our Lord.

The Good News for all Cultures

by Elizabeth Greer

A quick glance in my home office reveals an accumulation of Christian literature, Bible commentaries and a collection of Bibles that dates back to my youth. There's the red leather Youth for Christ edition given to me by my grandparents; my black zippered KJV version awarded to me in Sunday school, complete with pictures of Noah's Ark and Jesus welcoming the children into His arms; and various newer translations, including NIV, NASB, and The Word on the Street.

I even have an 1821 edition that was once owned by my great-aunt and by generations before her. No doubt your home has a similar collection – but not every home does.

For the last seven years, my husband and I have had the privilege of directing Eagle Bay Camp (formerly Hilbre Bible Camp). We have worked largely cross-culturally, welcoming the majority of our campers from the first Nations communities in our area. This past summer we had the added opportunity of leading a day camp for 80 youth in the fly-in community of Garden Hill First Nation.

It is in this context that we have also been privileged to give Bibles to the campers. Through the generosity of various donors, including Eastview Community Church, we were able to distribute well over 1000 copies of New Testament. These NTs have been taken home to First Nations communities such as Little Saskatchewan, Fairford, Grand Rapids, Easterville, Poplar River, Bloodvein, Sioux Valley, Ebb & Flow, Lake St. Martin, and others. Children from the local towns have taken copies as well.

No longer can we assume that every home has a Bible and that someone in that home is familiar with its contents. Our society has become increasingly distant from its Judeo-Christian roots, and the average person passing us on the street cannot relate biblical stories or explain what the Gospel message is, or why it is good news at all. Many believe in a "god" but do not believe that this higher power cares anything at all about what goes on here on earth. This is what motivates all of us involved in children's ministries, whether in a summer camp context or through outreach events through the local church.

Children of all cultures are precious and need to hear that God loves and values them. They need to hear that there are better options than drugs, alcohol, gang involvement or suicide. We cannot keep the Good News to ourselves. We are grateful to the donors who support our camp and to organizations such as LifeLight Ministries. It is with their help that we can place The Word of God in more homes each year.

Elizabeth and Rick Greer became ministry directors of Eagle Bay Camp in 2000 after selling their family business and moving from Ontario. They have been married for 25 years and have three sons.

 

Help us get more Scriptures!

Greetings Brother Greg,

 Well here I am again begging for scriptures. We currently have 24 copies of “How to Find God” and 24 copies of “The Lifelight”. Yurgen dropped off a copy of “And you will know the Truth….”  (the prison edition).  We are asking for your help once again to keep us with a supply of scriptures for the fellows here at Headingley Jail. The men truly like the “How to find God” edition because of the commentaries and challenging questions it contains. So I am going to leave it to you and to the Lord to provide for us in our need.

 Blessings on you, in your ministry, and on those who I know will respond to the Lord’s call to provide for the outcasts who live in this place. Praise be Jesus!

LAMP and LifeLight – Unity of the Faith

"God works in mysterious ways", and makes Himself known in the process.

I was to learn about Canadian LifeLight Ministries Inc. at Missionfest 2005. Mr. Greg Armstrong shared the need to get Bibles into the hands of both youth and adults in Northern native communities. LifeLight does its part in making the Word available. His words rang out and it was accepted as, "What does LAMP do?"

LAMP stands for Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots. For 35 years we have transported and facilitated Vacation Bible School (VBS) in isolated native villages in northern Canada, some 20 in Manitoba. This past summer about 500 volunteers shared the message of Jesus with over 5000 children and youth. The following true story will however give you LifeLight supporters a flavor of what is transpiring in our partnership.

As part of my pre-summer logistical flight into villages, I had a supply of "How to Find God", and the LifeLight New Testament with me. In the course of our conversation about the coming summer, the local contact in Sandy Lake, ON. asked if I would accompany him to a home where a young mother was suffering with cancer. Would I share and pray for her family’s healing as all were suffering in the process? I was appreciative of my Lifelight Bible, as I was able to share one of Jesus’ healing messages from the Gospel of Matthew.

Some time after, Sidney, our contact, called to say they wanted 100 youth Bibles (The Lifelight). During summer flying over Sandy Lake C-FWGK carried the Scriptures that Greg had left for me in Winnipeg. When I touched down, Sidney, happily accepted the Bibles for his community youth, but had another visit assignment. An elder, who was already living beyond his doctor’s projected "time", wanted a Bible and healing prayer. While he was a believer and not afraid of dying, he asked for more time with his family. I shared from The LifeLight, talked God stories and prayed. Both siblings and grandchildren were present. I asked a daughter for the written names of family, thinking only of those present. This was taking some time. To my delight however, she had recorded the whole family of Jeremiah Fiddler, 62 in all.

As I share your printed Word, it is a pleasure for me to talk about LifeLight Ministries. So LifeLight, in being faithful to the call of giving and sharing, combined with LAMP’s going, brings to life mission and ministry – showing up at the right place at the right time, all to the Glory of God.

Salvation Army uses LifeLight Scriptures

    The Salvation Army has a long history of providing support, services and ministry in communities across Canada through partnership with those who graciously donate financial and material goods.  Along with the donations of food, clothing, and household items, we often receive Bibles allowing us to offer ‘free’ Bibles in our Thrift Stores and in our programs and services.

Not long ago we ran out of our supply of donated Bibles, due to increasing requests from clients and program participants.  This presented an opportunity for us to take a fresh look at what we were doing and ask ourselves some questions:  Where do we get more Bibles?  What kind of a message are we sending to people if in response to their request for the Word of God, we provide a used and often outdated Bible?  Does the condition of the used Bibles we provide send a message about how we value God’s Word?

We determined that we needed to give people a translation they could easily understand, and that it should be a brand new Bible - not used or second hand.  We wanted our underlying message to be, ‘We value you, and we value the words that God has for you (and me!) in the Bible.’

We were so pleased to find LifeLight Ministries who were able to supply us with affordable, modern translation Bibles (New Living) for our ministries.

Camp Arnes Report for Life Light Ministries

The look on her face could light up the biggest building on site as she received her very own Bible. It was her first and as she ran back to tell her friends about it she had an extra skip in her step. She promised to read it, follow it and take good care of it.

Week after week the counselors would come and seek this Bible that was free for their camper to take home. And week after week they would run back to their camper with a huge smile and give them their very own Bible.

At Camp Arnes we believe that lives are changed from the inside out, and through the work of the Holy Spirit this is possible. What better way for a child to get to know God than through a Bible that is made for them. Life Light Ministries also believes in this and we would like to thank them and their supporters for the more than 100 Bibles that were distributed, which means that about 10 – 15 % of all our campers received their very own Bible. In the simple words of a child…"thank you".

 

Bibles at Bird River Bible Camp

Good morning Martha

Thank you for registering me in the golf tournament.

I want to take a minute to tell you a couple of stories that happened at camp this year. 

 

During one of the Youth Camps, there were 4 inner city youth, 16 years old who did not want to be at camp.  Their mothers had somehow gotten them on the bus but they had decided, as a group, not to cooperate or join in any of the activities.  These 4 campers decided they would sit at a picnic bench and spend their time discussing items of concern to them alone.  Whenever any of the staff would approach, they would get up and leave.  All in all, they were not going to allow themselves to enjoy their week. 

 

During chapel one night the campers were given New Testament Bibles that the camp had been given to give to each camper.  This was a turning point for these 4 young people.  The next day they were seen sitting at their same picnic table, but they had their Bibles with them and they were reading them.  This gave the staff the courage and confidence to continue to work with these youth.  By the end of the week, they were not the same youth that arrived just a few days ago.

 

A single mother of 2 youngsters, that was made known to me, was given sponsorship to camp for both children.  After the first youngster had attended camp, the mother called me and was terribly upset.  Her second child, who was scheduled to go to camp the next week, had chicken pox.  The mother told me how going to camp had changed the first child's entire attitude about life.  She had accepted Christ as her personal saviour and was just different.  She took her prize home from camp (her Bible) and was reading it.  The mother wanted me to do something so as the other child might get to go to camp and experience the same life changing experiences. We managed to get her into a later camp and the mother was, and remains, very excited about her new children she had picked up at the bus.

 

During one of the Children's Camps, there was a young boy who had a lot of difficulty sitting still during chapel.  Staff spent time praying for the boy throughout the week.  It did not appear that this boy heard the message that was being delivered during chapel.  One evening, this boy scrambled to the back of the chapel to pick up one of the Bibles being handed out.  He accepted Christ into his heart that night and the next day during the last meal, he could hardly concentrate on eating his supper because he was so excited about "devouring" his brand new Bible. 

 

There were approximately 600 campers that have heard the news about Jesus at camp this year.  Many for the first time and many of these will have in their hands a Bible that they will have as their very own.

 

Thank you so much for providing these Bibles to further God's work at Bird River Bible Camp

Fur Auction in Thompson

Fur Auction in Thompson; Report by Peter Loewen

Trappers from all over northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario gather each December to sell their furs at a fur auction in Thompson. Fur buyers are on hand, each with their own table, to offer bids on these furs. How exciting to be invited to set up a Lifelight Scripture display at this event!

By 8AM Dec. 16th, my helper, Del Brandt, from Riverton, and I were at the large parish hall where the fur auction took place. We put "Indian Life" Christian magazines at each table, as we hoped this would help trappers to accept what we had to offer. After we set up our Lifelight display, some trappers that had perhaps had no Christian contact for years, came up and asked for New Testaments and also some Bibles. There were also trappers from reserves that I, together with helpers such as Curt Bork, Bert Genaille, Greg Armstrong and others, had visited in the last three years.

A trapper from South Indian Lake said the Lifelight Scriptures we had left there were being read in the school. On the intercom, one of the teachers reads two chapters each morning and has a prayer. The trapper said the Scriptures had helped him personally to live a better life.

Another trapper from Cross Lake thanked us for the Lifelight New Testament he received when I was there three years ago. He said he had read it through two times. A trapper who used to be a teacher in the Cormorant School, said it was uplifting to have the Scriptures read over the intercom to the students.

Del Brandt is a farmer who also likes to trap, and the trappers responded to him, leading to good discussions, and to a willingness to accept a New Testament from him. On the way home, Del said, "When can we go again?"

Del and I had lunch at Continental Mission's "soup kitchen," next door to the fur auction on Friday, where we met 70 hungry local people happy to get a free meal. We noticed the "Lifelight" stand with New Testaments, which are available to the people coming for meals.

Thank you to Curt Bork and his church at Moosehorn. "We are keeping Lifelight and Scripture distribution in our prayers," Curt told us when we stopped at his house for coffee on our way north.

Ernie and Lil have volunteered to go there.

Vishal Mangalwadi • After living among the poor in central India, Vishal founded the Association for Comprehensive Rural Assistance. This began Vishal’s direct involvement with evangelism in the context of abject poverty and deeply entrenched socio-political oppression which has given unique insights and realism to his teaching. Vishal is one of the world’s foremost Christian apologists to Hindus and New Agers. An author and co-author of a dozen books, Vishal studied in secular universities, Hindu ashrams, and in L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. He is an international lecturer, social reformer, and political columnist for The International Indian. His current project is The Book of the Millennium, which includes a multi-hour television series exploring how the Bible influenced the creation of the best features of our modern world.

Cancelled Visions!

The weekend scheduled for November 25/26 is being cancelled at this time after much discussion. Many of you are unable to be there due to prior commitments and since it is very important that you, as key people to this ministry have input into future vision, it was decided to re-schedule to a different weekend. The timing for this weekend will be discussed further at another time. Perhaps a spring weekend would be a better time!

We apologize to those who were looking forward to this time away and many thanks to Henry Dyck for making arrangements for the cabin.

With regards to the agenda items that were brought forward by Ray for this weekend, please forward thoughts and ideas to Ray and Ernie as there will be a board meeting set within the next few weeks.

I will be in touch with everyone when details of this meeting are set.

Bibles for HCC

Good morning Greg,

We have distributed most of the bibles you gave us and we are in need of a new supply. Our count is running at 600 right now and as a result the pressure for bibles has increased. I trust that all is well with you and that the Lord is continuing to bless your ministry.

Fw: LifeLight Fall Quick Note - > 1, 2, 3

. . .Greetings All

Here we are, the 21 of October and in the past few nights the colder-chilling frost is introducing itself again to us artistically using the car windows as it's drawing sheet each morning.

And of course who can deny fall is upon us once noticing the one-bite size chocolate bar starting to be around from those yummy assort halloween snacks bags in the stores pilled high like sand bags.

Anyway, as fall re-introduces his/herself again to us this 2005 we at LifeLight must also be aware and underway preparing for the busy season ahead.

1. Peter Loewen our faithful northern rep, starts to get restless and ready to drive far up north to the many Reserves in the forest he/we service with Scriptures into the hands of the grade 3 & 4 school children and many others along the journey. He will do a fall run, then once the lakes freeze he usually takes a trip to the more remote communities.

2. Registrations and deposits for (booths) at Missionfest 2005 Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal, Manitoba, ? Toronto ? are complete or well under way thanks to the smart work and efforts of Marge Penner. So, we all need to be aware of the MFdates so as to help carry the load. For the dates and info it would be best to go to the MF www. and get it all, including speaker line up. We have yet to book Toronto until we are clear that the Vanessens would like to host and be present in the booth.

3. We all know how important (crucial) The LifeLight new testaments are to this ministry and for this generation. And we are all aware the supply is alarmingly low and demand hi, including HTFG. We need to place the re-order ASAP and be active together as agents in raising the ever needed fund$.

Marge please give the Vanessens a call and ask if they are up to hosting the MF both in Toronto, and lets get clear re: our place booked in MF Manitoba, Martha can give the right numbers to contact them.

In the making; from Marge

Just to let everyone know so you can mark your calendars. Further to info from last board meeting, I have discussed with Henry Dyck the use of the cottages in Lac du Bonnet for November 25/26. More details to follow, Marge Penner Ph. (204)339-9211 e-mail: marge@ipcmanitoba.com

P.S. Martha need's articals and pictures for up coming LL-newsletters; please, send your Scripture news and stories in. . .

Psalm 119:31-33 Greg Armstrong www.thelifelight.com gregorya@mts.net mobile: 204-471-6295

Time to order The LifeLight

Just to let you know that we have reached our 50% fundraising goal and will be getting the information together for the 4 page insert and forwarding it to you in the next 3 weeks in preparation for the publishing of 30,000 copies of "The LifeLight New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs"

We are confident that rest of the funding will come in when the invoice becomes due.

The LifeLight Message

Mindy:

I have reviewed your products and would like to get a quote from you.

Would you license us to reprint a LifeLight Message New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs? What would that cost for 50,000 copies? All additional notes, covers, etc would, of course, be subject to your approval.

What would you charge for custom printing 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 or 25,000 copies of each of:

The Message^®: New Testament (youth edition) (with our logo on cover)

The Message^®: New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs (paperback) (with our LifeLight Message full color cover)
We need minimum 4 custom pages for our information

What is the upcharge for 30 pages of helps similar to the helps in The LifeLight?

Thank you.

<>Mr. Dueck,
Kent asked me to follow up with you, he is extremely busy these days. I have read through what you are asking for and we can consider a couple options for you. The first is, we could produce an exclusive edition of several of the products we already produce for you with some modifications to the cover (all the changes would of course have to be approved by Eugene, his agent and us here at NavPress) Some of the products this works well with is the mass market edition of the New Testament, The Book of Psalms, The Book of Proverbs, The Gospel of John, and The Message//Remix (feel free to check out our website if you are not real familiar with these products www.messagebible.com ) There is however a minimum purchase required on these products that generally hovers around 5,000 units. That minimum is the only way we can afford to produce these exclusive editions. The second option is that you could purchase some of these existing products, we have a special markets team that works with ministries like yours and gives high discounts for give away purchases. Let me know if you think either of these options will work for you and I will put you in contact with the appropriate person.

Thank you.

MINDY MILLS | The Message

Kent:

Thank you for your response. I can understand Dr. Peterson's reluctance to allow other text to be added to his. Would you/he consider allowing a publication of The Message with Psalms and Proverbs? With our own cover?

Raymond Dueck

Raymond,

Eugene passed on your letter to us at NavPress because we handle all correspondence of this nature of his behalf. I appreciate hearing about your ministry and respect your commitment to distribute the Word across Canada.

Eugene Peterson has made it very clear to NavPress that he wants The Message to be a Bible text that encourages Bible reading without the typical encumbrances that often come with study Bibles or other popular versions of the Bible with added material. Eugene wants readers to become engrossed in the text of the Word alone and not be sidetracked by added material, which originally even included his desire to not include verse numbers (which he has reluctantly since changed). He is therefore extremely hesitant to approve any additional content to printed versions of The Message. As his publisher we want o honor his vision for The Message and the reading of the Word, and therefore cannot approve or encourage the products that you propose because of the added content.

We do hope that you still consider The Message text in your future considerations, but would understand if you need to approach other publishers for permission to use their text instead. Thank you for your partnership in distributing The Word,

Kent Wilson

NavPress Publisher

Dear Dr. Peterson:

Your "The Message" has become a tremendous blessing to many. LifeLight Ministries is committed to "Providing the LifeLight of God's Word to this generation." To this end we have published 37,000 copies of "The LifeLight" New Testament, based on the NIrV, a simplified NIV, from the International Bible Society, and 20,000 copies of the "How To Find God" New Testament, NLT, with helps by Greg Laurie. I have enclosed a copy of each for you to review.

Our mandate is "To provide free Scriptures as God provides funds through His people." That means we raise funds, we buy or publish Scripture at the lowest possible cost, and give it away, while we raise more funds. Many of our Scriptures go directly into the hands of northern Manitoba school children. We would like to extend this ministry across Canada and around the world.

We would love to produce, under license, a LifeLight publication entitled "The LifeLight Message" that would include helps and Scripture commentary along with The Message New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs. We would publish it with a beautiful full color cover and give it away free.

Is this something you could agree to? Would you, or someone you know, be willing to write the Helps and Scripture commentary? How much royalty would you need? Your prayerful consideration of this request is appreciated.

I can be reached on my cell at 204-782-2112, at work 800-210-0141, or at home 866-670-2943

May God bless you in whatever He gives you to do!

Your donation of $5 helps us buy more. Additional donations are welcome and will provide Scriptures to those who can't afford to pay for them. This includes the thousands of school children we reach every year in northern Manitoba.
