Early Days in Canada

Judith & Allan’s early days in Canada were not without difficulties. When they reached Calgary airport one of their suitcases was missing. All of the boys’ clothes and whatever special little toys they had taken along for them were missing. Then within a few days James was admitted to hospital. Once again his oxygen levels had dropped very low and it took quite a few days to bring these back to an acceptable level. James is now out of hospital. Medical staff at the hospital have been very thorough and are continuing to investigate his general health. They are now able to concentrate on finding suitable accommodation and beginning their ministry with GoodSeed.

What do you know about GoodSeed? Following is a copy of a recent regular email sent out from GoodSeed, read it, better still follow the link to their website.

Dear Friends,
I spoke yesterday at a church here in northern Ontario. The folks in the congregation seemed to be hanging on to every word as I shared the old, old gospel story using PowerPoint and visual aids. Though the post-moderns of our world would try to convince us that nothing is certain in life, it is obvious that the Lord’s people need a certain word. The Bible passes all tests of certainty; it is beyond reasonable doubt.
Recently I was showing a GoodSeed supporter our new website. He said, “Wow this is a real goldmine!” Let me mention these points:
All the products that GoodSeed has produced are available for no charge on the website. You can read any of the books we have produced or translated online. Any of the DVD’s we have created can be watched online in their entirety. No charge or fee for any of it.
This is only phase one of developing our website. By the way, no person in GoodSeed, including myself as the author, receives any royalty for the products we produce. It all goes into the ministry.
Once again, if you would be willing to login and write a short review of any of the products, it will be of great help to others researching our material. You input will weigh heavily in whether they take the time to read what is freely online for them. The same can be said of links. They help search engines rate us a little higher.
Pray for us as we fly back to Alberta this week. The ministry is very busy these days.
Thank you for standing behind us.

John (and Janice)

PS: Little James, the one we referred to in our last email is doing just fine after a hospital stay. He has been getting good care. Thanks for praying.

Hi, I was just randomly googling Bobby Murphy just to see how many there are of me. I found you guys. How amazing. My grandparents were Norman and Bobby. My grandmother was the Bobby and I'm named after her. You both look just as warm and caring as them. Keep up the grand work.
