The town of Amaranth (roughly 200 people) is located in southern Manitoba, near Sandy Bay Indigenous Reserve (roughly 6-9,000 people). The town is primarily indigenous families, while the farms in the surrounding area are primarily non-native. Amaranth has a grocery store, a bank, a bar, and two churches (one evangelical; one Catholic).
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- We have a kids club (ages 4-12) that has been blessing children with some knowledge of Jesus. Our prayer is that we would practically reflect the light and truth of Jesus.
- We are thinking about starting a youth group that would help young teens find true friendship and love what is good.
- Wisdom to help area Christians live by the words of Jesus more than worldly wisdom. We need prayer for courage to always live and speak the truth in love.
