The Double Reunion Trip 

It started out as a 'lark' - one of my (Steve's) buddies in a weekly Zoom call was headed to Vancouver Island, British Columbia where our two other 'mates' lived. We had regularly met for coffee, encouragement and prayer in Chiang Mai, Thailand when we all were in ministry there. We have been meeting and praying for each other weekly online since we returned to the USA at the start of the Covid pandemic.

One of the guys, Alan, and his wife Lorna were planning an extended vacation in Canada from England and planned to visit Rod and Lloyd, the other two guys in our group. When I was asked "Steve, why don't you come too?", I didn't know what to say except "Let me talk to Alberta." As we talked we realized we had another opportune reunion possible with Alberta's good friend, Janet. 

 Janet and Alberta go way back to the 1970s, having met in nursing school. Then they were recruited to work at hospitals in Florida. Janet and her husband, Mark, have retired and are living on - you guessed it - Vancouver Island.

Our plans came together quickly and we had a wonderful 5 days renewing our friendships in person! For Rod, Alan and I our friendship stretches back to 2013 when the Chiang Mai coffee fellowships began. Lloyd joined us 3 years ago when he returned from ministry in Laos. 

Please join us in praying for Janet's husband Mark who was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. We are grateful to God that this trip came together so we could visit all of these wonderful friends. 

Additional Prayer Requests: 

Alberta just learned that her brother, Peter, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She will be traveling to Toronto Oct. 15 to spend some time with him. Pray for her during this difficult yet important trip. 

Pray that all the details would come together for us as we plan a trip to visit Heather at the end of October. 

Pray for Alberta as she assists in the latest Equipping Women Int. online Zoom class with Filipino women. 

Serving Christ with You, Steve and Alberta
