Update Tuesday-prayer requests

This past Sunday was a blistering -8 degrees celsius here in the Hammer, but The Hamilton Fellowships faithful were out on the street with hot coffee, sandwiches and lots of coats, hats, mitts and blankets (Thanks to our friend Wendy and her youth group for doing the coat drive!).
We will be out again this coming Sunday with help from the folks at our new Fellowship in Stoney Creek.
We had a great first meeting in Stoney creek last week as we gathered with leaders to pray for this new endeavour. We would ask you to join us in prayer as we have our first official meeting this Thursday with friends from the neighbourhood.
We would also ask for continued prayer for our work at Mohawk College. Although we were a bit disappointed that we were not able to connect with a more international students at our events this week, we do think that we may have found a "person of peace," an international student interested in our work, who could be a bridge to this student body. We are praying that he may be the way in which we can meet more students and serve this community who are far from home, in a brand new culture and often lonely and struggling to find a place of belonging.
Lastly, I would ask that you pray for George and Alison who are faithful members of our Fellowship. They moved to Hamilton to start a new photography business as well as be a part of a community in which they could be helping to care for societies most vulnerable people. Since moving and joining with us they have had many problems with their home resulting in significant costs. Now that their family is growing they have been trying to arrange to combine the two lower rental units of their home to move into as well as have a workspace for George, which would mean no longer having to rent studio space. They are now having trouble, however, in removing one of the tenets who is currently there. This is an important transition for their family in terms or room and economically. Please pray for a positive outcome for them.
That is it for this week. Thanks for the continued prayer and support.
