Approaching Half Way! July 17, 2007

Denise has had some difficulty finding an internet connection these days, so this is Paul writing. Here's a good shot of the Walker: And here's who she is walking for: the children of the Village of Hope in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Tomorrow is another milestone in the walk. Denise reaches the half way point. We're not sure of the exact total distance, but we are estimating it at 3180 kms. Tomorrow, just 22 kms west of the town of Upsala, ON. Denise will walk the 1590th km. Tonight they are parked at the Upsala Can Op Campground. A couple of special highlights for today were meeting friends from Melfort on the road. Pastor Paul & Rose Dubois are fellowservants whom we are blessed to share ministry with in the city of Melfort. They are travelling by car as a family all the way to the Canadian Atlantic coast. Thanks Paul & Rose for your encouragement! The second blessing was receiving a care package at the Upsala Post Office from all of our friends at Breadalbane Baptist Church in the Ottawa Valley.

We both wept tears of gratitude as Denise read over the phone to me each of the notes of encouragement that were written by children and adults. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers.


Thank you to all who are praying and have supported Simple Steps Walk by your donations. People and churches all across Canada have given sacrificially to the children at the Village of Hope. The current total of donations is $78,000.
We're all in this together.
