Many of you know that in the summer of 2008 I also worked for a youth ministry run out of Bethlehem Aboriginal Fellowship in Winnipeg's North End. This church is just as important to me personally as Willowlake is. Not only did I work there, but Katie's uncle, Dietrich Desmarais is also the lead pastor there.
Early today (I believe; possibly last night) the church's sprinkler system burst causing extensive flooding to the church and also started a small electrical fire. The fire department has closed the church for safety reasons until an inspection can be completed and I am sure there will be a lot of work that is needed to be done. The church's staff and board are meeting tomorrow (Sunday) at 4:00 PM to plan their next course of action.
This ministry reaches out to many of Winnipeg's disadvantaged and is a wonderful community of love and acceptance! Let's hold them up in prayer; God has a plan in all of this, I am sure . . . now we just have to pray, help if/when/where we can, and wait and see what God has in store!
Peace,
Michael AKA Cliffy
