Heath and Mariko continue to work with their church plant called Christ City Church. Heath has also,  over the past several years,  become involved in several other ministries to the marginalized people of Downtown Eastside  Vancouver. Wikipedia describes this area as " the DTES is the site of a complex set of social issues including disproportionately high levels of drug use, homelessness, poverty, crime, mental illness and sex work." Heath helps at the Union Gospel Mission, Jacob's Well (which provides meals and friendship to the community), as well as various other ministries. He occasionally teaches Bible studies and works with men in addiction recovery programs. Please pray for wisdom and strength for Heath and Mariko as they minister to people living in Downtown Eastside Vancouver.

Kilmartin Family

Jeff and Sonya Kilmartin (4 adult children living in Canada) - NAB Mission- Cameroon, Africa

Jeff was a pastor before going to the foreign mission field and Sonya is a school teacher. They serve in Cameroon but do travel to other African countries mostly for Jeff to teach in seminaries and Bible colleges. Sonya was also instrumental in organizing a medical clinic in Banyo and had help from friends to stock it and include necessary equipment. Health issues and safety concerns are always needs to be prayed for as malaria and other diseases, as well as racial and religious tensions are never far from affecting the "foreign" missionaries. Please continue to uphold the Kilmartin family in your prayers, that God would use them in a mighty way to reach the lost for the Kingdom of Heaven.
