• Please pray for the practical and spiritual needs of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh who are currently living in our neighbourhood. Pray for us in our interactions with them since they speak no English and our Bangla is rusty (we left Bangladesh 25 years ago).
• Please pray for the Open Toronto Initiative to get off the ground. We need more workers willing to commit to living and ministering in areas with high concentrations of unreached people groups. 
• Pray specifically that B and E can get their papers to come to Canada to reach Muslims here. They already know the languages needed and are gifted evangelists. 
• Praise & prayer – George has recovered well from his cancer surgeries. The next check-in with the oncologist is in August. Karen is on meds for high blood pressure and AFib.
• Praise – Karen is tutoring a few students in phonics at the local school one day a week.

Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel,

George and Karen

ALL CLEAR!

Last Tuesday, February 11th the doctor went over post-surgery results and gave George the ALL CLEAR! The cancer is gone and he won’t need to return again until 6 months from now for a checkup. Praise the Lord with us for His mercy and lovingkindness.

We are pleased to welcome Rick and Linda Reed to the OTI team! They bring a wealth of ministry experience and desire to equip local churches to reach the unreached in their own communities and in the Greater Toronto Area. Pray for the Reeds, and pray for God to keep growing the OTI team.

God of Hope

Isn’t that a wonderful prayer above from Romans 15:13? Our God is “the God of hope.” As He fills us who trust in Christ with joy and peace (fruit of the Spirit), we overflow with hope—a calm certainty that our lives and futures are safe and secure in His hands. It’s what everyone needs, and it is what we who trust in Christ have to offer as we share the Good News of salvation in Jesus.

Second Surgery Went Well

George’s prostate removal operation went flawlessly with no complications. His hospital roommate “Enzo” had a similar procedure but started to hemorrhage in the recovery room, requiring a second operation to save him from bleeding out! We prayed when we heard the news, and God had mercy on him, granting more time to repent and put his trust in the Lord. Please pray that God would soften Enzo’s hard heart.

George is now steadily recovering at home, and is scheduled to have his 26 staples and catheter removed on December 27th. We believe things are going as well as they are, because you prayed to God for and with us. After 6 more weeks of recuperation, we will visit the surgeon on February 11th to go over a PSA test and biopsy results from the prostate and lymph nodes that were taken out.

We are always grateful for your prayers, support and encouragement,
George and Karen King
