Pauline E-Mail – 3

Sunday, November 24, 1996 Charles Scobie

Worldwide Ministry

Pray
Wednesday, October 7, 2026 – In Canada-Migrant workers from Latin America — Pray for the 14 migrant workers at a Saskatoon Berry Farm who promised to come to a Bible study. The weekly study will introduce them to Jesus through a chronological understanding of the Bible. Pray for their salvation! Pray also that at least a few of the farms that we visited in Southern Alberta will accept a Bible study as well, and that many will come to know Christ this harvest season!

Today's Thought

I have lived a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? – Benjamin Franklin6
