Thank You Letter

I thought that we might have missed thanking some of you who supported us through your anonymous prayers so I have posted our thank you letter. We truely thank you all.......

To all our family and good friends,
Jenn and I would like to take a moment of your time to say thank you to all who supported us. We want to thank you especially for your prayers. It was, to say the least, a learning experience for both of us. God used us in ways that we never imagined or could have predicted.
The DVD ministry at camp flourished. The kids loved the idea of being able to take home something they could show their friends and parents. God showed me some important things about organizing and putting together a ministry of that type. We have future plans of expanding this ministry and creating a format that would allow it to remain a permanent part of the camp.
Jenn really reinforced her knowledge of having a servant heart. She was not in a position of leadership at the camp, which if you know Jenn is very unusual. God taught her how to be a servant when it’s hard, unfair, or just tiring. Besides God, she was the person who kept me going. She kept me organized on days that I thought the room was going to explode. She hand wrote over 300 address labels and envelopes, as well she printed most of the material used on the DVD’s! God had His hand in all of this, as she was allowed to have a role at camp, which enabled her to have the time to work with me and serve in many other areas.
Your prayers were very appreciated as we went through times of sickness, doubt, and downheartedness. Through it all, God was faithful as He cured us, reassured us, and lifted our spirits right when we needed it. We would like to give the praise and glory to God for allowing all the aspects in our lives to come together and allowing us to serve the camp. That on it’s own is an answer to prayer!
To those of you who gave financially, a very large hug, and thank you. Your gifts of money have been put to good use in our starting of a new life at Briercrest Bible College. We were able to fully cover one semester of tuition, as well as pay for moving costs, and our first round of bills! God was amazing in how He brought in the exact amount of financial support we needed. There were times when we doubted and questioned God why He would allow money that we were counting on (work bonus) to disappear. In the end, we look back and see His hand in everything.
As to our current situation, we can say that we are settled in nicely. We have already made some new friends who are our neighbors, as well as some new mentors. My classes to this semester are as follows: Intro to Christian theology, Intro to Musicianship, Live Sound and Productions, Evangelism and Global Missions, and Spiritual Formation. These classes have already proven challenging, but greatly rewarding. I am starting to really get a firm grip on what the Bible teaches and why we as Christians have the beliefs we share.
Jenn is working hard (as always) at the Kinsmen Sportsplex in Moose Jaw. She is working as a lifeguard. She teaches swimming lessons to school children during the morning and afternoon which she quite enjoys. She always comes home with some funny story about one of her kids from that day. She is not at full time hours, so she usually picks up early morning or evening shifts to help supplement her hours. She never ceases to remind me that now SHE brings home the bacon, and I am a lowly money-spending student!
We would love to hear from any and all of you. For that purpose I have included our new contact information for those that need it. Our address is as follows:
Box 229

Our street address is 305 5th avenue if anyone wants to come and visit. Our new phone number is 306-756-2728 and our cell phone is 306-630-5585, which Jenn usually carries. We can also be reached at jenniwren@shaw.ca(Jenn), simwiz@shaw.ca (Ian), and our blog at http://isaaks.blogspot.com
Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts and we pray that God will bless your for your time and offerings you have given to us.

Love in Christ,
Ian and Jenn Isaak
