I had the awesome opportunity of singing the National Anthem at the Opening Plenary Session of this year's annual Transportation Association of Canada Conference in Toronto, ON!
Not only were there around 1000 delegates present, the Mayor of Toronto, David Miller, and the Minister of Transportation, Jim Bradley, were also on hand!
It was definitely an honor!!
Well, in a few days I am headed back to Egypt on another mission trip. I was there in 2006 and it was then that the nation and its loving people captured my heart! I am super-excited about this trip and I'm also extremely honored & humbled to be part of what God is doing in that nation...I am definitely expecting great things! So please pray for this nation and its leaders, because God is on the move!!!
I will update you upon my return!
Grace & peace,
Susan
UPDATE: I had such an amazing time in Egypt! The people of that nation are so beautiful and God is doing many mighty things there! We held a number of meetings in small, remote villages, during which I had the privilege of sharing through music. It was awesome to see God touching the hearts and lives of the people, giving them freedom from the past, peace in the present and hope for the future!!
Love in Christ,
Susan

Well, in a few days I am headed with a small group on a mission trip to China! This will be my first mission trip to Asia and I am truly humbled by the fact that God has chosen to send me to this nation. It is so awesome to see how the Spirit of God has opened up these doors!! This is such an example of how God really does do “far beyond all that we could ask or even think”! While we are there, we will be visiting an orphanage, giving us the opportunity to minister to the children's needs as well as to the needs of the missionaries who are there running the orphanage full time!! Please keep this mission trip in your prayers, and believe with us that the will of God for this trip will be accomplished, and that there will be no hindrances or problems while we are there! Thank you! I truly appreciate your love and support and I look forward to sharing all the good news when I return!!!
Love in Christ,
Susan
UPDATE: I am back from China and it was such an exciting trip! We were so blessed by the missionaries who have given up everything to "go" and minister to the Chinese people!! The nation of China has a very large part to play in these end times and the Spirit of God is on the move!! Please keep the leadership of China and the people of China in your prayers!!
Grace & peace,
Susan
