We are grateful for being able to share Canadian Thanksgiving dinner with 4 out of 5 of our children and their families, numbering 17 in total. We missed son Aaron living out in Vancouver with his sweetie, and pray for him in an unpleasant work environment. Maybe the Lord will have something better in store for him by your prayers.

George just had his annual cystoscopy and PSA test, and received the good news of continuing to be cancer-free.

Both Karen and George enjoy serving in a variety of ways in their home church, Central Baptist in Brantford.

The revision work on the website outreach ministry to Muslims moves ahead at a breathtaking pace. Since the beginning of the year George has updated, revised and added new material to over 1,400 existing web pages (without the use of AI so far). He also added 3 new research articles to provoke new lines of thought within the target audience. Lord willing, there will be more to report in the months to come.

Thank you for your interest and prayers,

George and Karen

Karen is happy to be a “retired” missionary, while George is now an “associate” missionary with ABWE. This “associate” status allows George to receive funding for ministry expenses incurred as a volunteer. Such expenses include the ongoing costs of operating his online outreach website to Muslims. The internet ministry took a back seat for a long time due to other important commitments, but George is happy to now have time and energy to get back to what was a passion for him since the year 2000! Pray as he spends many hours most weeks making useful changes and adding new life-changing gospel content. “Lord, open hearts around the world!”

George still serves ABWE’s Open Toronto Initiative in a support capacity. He recently participated in inter-agency virtual meetings about a powerful new tool being developed to identify unreached people groups (UPG) throughout this great nation. “God please save our land!”

We just enjoyed a delightful King family reunion weekend with 27 family members in attendance. Occasionally, we get to do grandparent things like visiting and babysitting. On top of that, we serve in our local church to strengthen its ministry. “Thank you Father for your many blessings!”

And thank you for standing with us by prayer,

George and Karen

Blessed and Grateful in RETIREMENT

We are feeling blessed and grateful. We are BLESSED to have had so many prayer partners, praying for this ministry for such a long time. We are GRATEFUL to God for how he has answered prayer for ministry and personal needs again and again for over 40 years now. We couldn’t have made it this far without your prayers and encouragement. Thank you!

As of this new year, we are in a NEW phase of life and ministry. We are officially RETIRED.

Still, Karen finds herself praying for new local contacts who need the Lord. George finds time for his old internet ministry reaching out to English-speaking Muslims. Our Rohingya friends in Kitchener still need Christ and we arrange visits. So we look to God for daily strength and a heart to serve.

Thank you for standing with us by prayer,

George and Karen

He had to be one of us so he could serve God as our merciful and faithful high priest
and sacrifice himself for the forgiveness of our sins. — Hebrews 2:17

At this time last year, doctors performed robotic-assisted surgery to remove George’s cancerous prostate. Because of God’s mercy, George’s body has healed and repeated checkups have shown no signs of disease. Today with hearts full of gratitude both of us can say, “Great is Your faithfulness.”

By God’s mercy and faithfulness, we developed a close relationship with a Muslim Rohingya family, helping them navigate deep waters through this past year. We plan to revisit them in their new home in Kitchener and present the Christmas story in their mother tongue, Lord willing.

God showed mercy and faithfulness in giving George multiple opportunities to minister the Word to his dying brother right up to the day of his passing. The Lord was with us when we traveled west to take part in George’s brother’s celebration of life. We were able to share the gospel in song to grieving attendees. God’s mercy and faithfulness was evident as we reconnected with family and friends over that week.

Now as we celebrate the Lord’s birth, we marvel again at God’s great mercy and faithfulness in sending His only Son into the world ultimately to lay down his own life as a sacrifice and pay the price necessary so that we could be forgiven. Yes, it is because of the Lord’s mercy we are not consumed. Great is Your faithfulness.

Grateful,
George and Karen King
