As communities face the impact of a growing Ebola outbreak, our partner CBCA is responding with an emergency plan to support vulnerable families and communities.

Pray for healing, protection, and comfort for those affected, wisdom and strength for healthcare workers, and endurance for our CBCA brothers and sisters as they serve during this difficult time.

Before joining the clergy, Stephen served as a Teaching Elder and church leader. He has an academic background in Anthropology and additional training in Project Planning and Management. Professionally, he is a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP)® with extensive experience in community development programs.

Stephen is happily married to Lucy, and they have been blessed with three wonderful young adult children: Kelvin, Grace, and Prince.

Stephen warmly says, “Shalom!” to all.

Students have long been a very special part of Canaan Baptist Church, whether attending, taking part in services, or doing their Mentored Ministry time with us. This past Sunday, May 17, we honoured this year's graduates and students who have graduated in previous years by presenting them each with a special mug by which to remember us. There is a picture of the church on it as well as the verse "All God's people here send their greetings. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (2 Corinthians 13: 13-14) We were joined by a member of the ADC class of 1983, Pastor Moses, who prayed a blessing over the graduates on our behalf. (Thank you to Vickie & Randy Dawe for the photos.)

Kaigoulun Lhouvum, the Secretary of Finance, Youth and Music Department of TBAI; and Pastor Paogoulen Sitlhou. We continue to pray for the other leaders of TBAI who were critically injured in an ambush while traveling home after a Baptist gathering in Churachandpur, Manipur.
