Dear Friends and Family,

What a joy it is to share how God is continuing to grow this partnership team! As the saying goes around our home, growing this ministry with FamilyLife Canada is a lot like growing an oak tree. 🌳

Enclosed is a magnet featuring our family’s newest photo. Having a place on your fridge and in your heart as you lift up this incredible work in prayer would be an honour!

This letter comes with deep gratitude for your prayers, along with an invitation to keep on praying for the roots of this “oak tree” to grow deep and strong. Through FamilyLife Canada, the goal is to see families flourishing according to God’s plan and living on a mission to share Christ with the world. We pray like one Weekend Getaway attendee prays, 

“Our hope and prayers…would be to see more clearly God’s purpose and design for our union.”

Your prayers are vital to fulfilling our mission to bring help and hope to every marriage and family in Canada. Together, we are mobilizing a network of partnering churches and HomeBuilders who are strengthening relationships in their homes, churches and communities.

• To those actively supporting: Thank you for your faithfulness. You are making a tangible difference.
• To those considering support: You can help reach the goal of becoming fully funded. Please consider becoming a monthly financial partner by setting up an account at this link: p2c.sh/bourque. 

Also enclosed is the new 2026/27 Prayer Calendar, filled with specific prayer prompts you can reuse every day of the year. Please keep on praying!

Thank you again for praying and for your invaluable partnership in this ministry!

May you know the LORD’s grace and peace,

Steve Bourque
