Keele is sending Bill Hickox and Grant MacDonald to help encourage and train the Barefoot Doctors who minister to the mountain peoples in the Golden Triangle, as well as bringing their teaching to a mountain village in northern Thailand. Both of these projects are a joint effort of Keele and Beverley Kalnin (Frontier Labourers For Christ).
Bill and Grant leave January 16th.
Please pray that we are used by God to be an encouragement to the front-line workers and the churches in the Golden Triangle and in Thailand. We desire to be useful to Christ, to His people, and to His Kingdom.
One of the highlights of our year has always been the Sunday School Christmas Concert. This year our choir will be leading us in a carol sing and bringing some special music and the children’s Sunday School will be bringing us “The Nativity Story.” After the service, we will be having our Christmas Potluck.
Each year Keele collects and donates personal items to make up gift bags for each of the ladies residing at Evangeline House, which is our local women’s shelter. If you would like to donate to this cause, just include your donation in the “other” section of your offering envelopes. 
At the end of September we will be having our second annual Men’s Retreat at OCA. Mark your calendars now and plan to attend! Register 
Summer! It is something we think a lot about as we wait for Spring to begin to behave like Spring! Living in Canada, we treasure the summer and we are constantly looking for ways to celebrate the great outdoors!
Every year we kick off the summer camping season at OCA with a time of fellowship. This year we will also be doing a 5K walkathon to raise funds for the camp.
