O, Canada!

The Oshkosh Sanderlin family just returned from Ajax, Ontario, which is a suburb of Toronto. We were at Faithway Baptist Church, which has 40 different nationalities in their congregation. We shared the day with another missionary family from Faithway Baptist Church in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Faithway in Canada voted to take us both on after the evening service. Praise the Lord that brings us to 32% of our support!

Elena has now been outside the United States for the first time. The biggest difference was driving with kilometers instead of miles on the signs and using Canadian money. It seemed there was a Tim Horton’s “on every corner” and every exit and we stopped there four times, once to ask for directions.

Thanks for praying for us. We will head to a Juniata Baptist Church for a missions conference starting Wednesday. We are having a good time basing at Ann Arbor with Abby’s family for the last part of March and the first half of April.

Leaving the Land of Lincoln

We thank the Lord for safety as we have been traveling throughout Wisconsin and Illinois the last few months. The Lord has blessed with many good meetings including Black River Falls (WI), Morris (IL), and Galesburg (IL). On Wednesdays when we didn't have meetings we were able to visit churches in Geneva (IL) where we have an open door for a future meeting, Roscoe (IL) where we scheduled a meeting for later, and Chillicothe (IL) where we have an open door for a meeting as well.

We will be leaving Tuesday for Michigan and then for a meeting in Ontario, Canada, this Sunday. After that we will have two missions conferences in Michigan and one in Pennsylvnia as well as other meetings all before April is over. Please continue to pray for churches to be able to support us. We are praying for 50% of our support by mid June when we hope to visit Cameroon for the first time. Thank you to all who support us through your prayers and finances.

Here are some pictures of Elena as she continues to bless us with her life and smiles :) She does so well meeting new people and being on the road. The same goes for my beautiful and loving wife, Abby...I wouldn't be having near as much fun without them!

March Meetings

February was a little slow for us and our Green Bay meeting was canceled due to over a foot of snow the night before the meeting. We enjoyed seeing many of you at the Holiness Conference. We had a full day the first Sunday in March in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. We enjoyed seeing Jessica and her kids a few days ago. We plan on being in Morris, IL, Galesburg, IL, Ontario, Canada, and Juniata, MI the rest of the month. Please pray for our safety on the road.

Also, be in prayer about our trip to Cameroon this summer. We are hoping to go for a month and are looking into purchasing tickets soon. Pray for wisdom and timing of the trip.

We are so thankful for the churches and families that took us on for support in February. We praise the Lord we are at 30% of our support for Cameroon.
