Frey Furlough 2019

Wednesday, September 04, 2019

We will take a break in our regularly scheduled program of updating my 1SE videos on the blog to bring you up to date on our furlough adventures. We have been in Canada for about 2 1/2 months now and we have 2 weeks left before heading back to Congo. 
We started with a lovely and very busy 6 weeks in Ontario. We spoke at Hawkesville Mennonite Church, Fairview Cambridge Retirement Home, Fairview Alliance Church in Montreal, Du Berger in Quebec City (this was the Church we attended while learning French) and lastly Guelph Bible Chapel. 
We are so thankful for these churches who surround us in prayer and support. We also visited with a lot of amazing friends and supporters who we haven't seen in 3 years. We spent a good amount of time at the MAFC office and even were able to attend the open house for the new office. 
This new office space will help those who support the mission staff over seas do their jobs more effectively. We also traveled to Montreal and Quebec City for a week and half, speaking at 2 churches and visiting supporters. Our good Friend Luke flew up from the US to come hear us speak, it was good to spend time with him for a few days as well. 









So much fun time spent with Auntie Charity and Emery

We then traveled to Alberta where we have spoken at Northgate Baptist, Westlock Gospel Chapel, Bethel Union Church and Trinity Reformed. We also will be speaking at Muir Lake Community Alliance Church September 8th at 10 am if anyone has missed seeing us so far. 

Our Beautiful Home Base in Alberta at the Vermeers














We had the privilege of attending a memorial service for my Great Uncle Richard see many extended family members on my Dads side. We were able to stay with my Grandma in her new Condo. The kids had fun learning to pick raspberries and exploring the farm.

Family Trivia around the Campfire


Then we had a family reunion on my moms side at my Aunts farm, it was so much fun to see my cousins, second cousins, their kids and try to figure out how exactly we are all related :-P.  
After that Nick and I enjoyed attending a marriage retreat for a week, where we took a break away from the kids, internet and stresses of work and just focused on our relationship with each other and with God. 
We also had the privilege of meeting and spending time with 3 other couples that serve in ministry in Canada or over seas. 
While we were retreating Ruth and Pascal went with their Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle and cousins to the lake. 
We are now back at our 'home base' in Spruce Grove finishing up some last min appointments, shopping, visiting and attending a wedding before flying back to Kinshasa. 


We are looking forward to getting back to Kinshasa, getting the kids in school, getting back to work and ministry. Our time in Canada has been refreshing and encouraging. We are so blessed to be able to bring the news of what God is doing in Congo to those who faithfully support the mission here in Canada. Before we can head back in 2 weeks we need to be at 100% of our monthly support. 
We are currently at 96% and need about $300/mo to be 100% supported. Prayerfully, if you feel lead to start supporting our Ministry with MAF or to increase your existing support can do so by clicking here. We would not be able to serve in the Congo with Mission Aviation Fellowship without you.

Support our Ministry with MAF

Managers / Pilots / Mechanics / Administrators are needed on the field. As a pilot and advisor, Nick plays a very important role of flying and advising on operations in the WDRC program. DRC is one of the most difficult places to do 'business' there are as many or more difficulties going into the office then flying over the jungles of Congo. However difficult his job is a necessary one; there are numerous isolated places and people in Congo that need MAF to be here.

The only way that we can continue to do the work that Gad has laid before us in Congo is by your generous donations.

We are aware that some partner with us for only a season which leaves an opportunity for others to come along side our ministry; because of that we are always looking those who will partner with us in our ministry with MAF to be able to keep our fundraising goal at 100%. Would you prayerfully ask God if He is prompting you to be a part of our ministry?
