For this week's update I thought I would post an interesting article regarding a new study on young people and the church in Canada. There are some interesting statistics, thoughts and insights. You can read it in Faith Today from the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada:
Hemorrhaging Faith
I was most intrigued by the suggestion that parents out way the church in terms of determining if young adults stay in the church or not. Perhaps a focus in our children's ministries might be equipping parents to educate and disciple their children as much as running great programs for kids.
I would also ask for continued prayer for the situation with our son Daniel as we seek the best way forward. He is still in hospital as of today.
Lastly, this Saturday we will be leading a seminar on getting to know Hamilton for new international students at Mohawk College.
