Prayer items
JBVC needs you to pray for the following items:
- JBVC vocational training program has a new trainee, a Korean VIP woman. Praying JBVC can motivate her to improve her travel skills, as well as she can learn how to operate the Café and gains an employment.
- JBVC received a referral from Welcome Centre Immigrant Services in Markham about a woman who has great problem after losing her eyes sight. She has felt down on the streets and hurt herself; burn and cut her hand when preparing meal, etc. Praise the Lord, JBVC was able to connect her with CNIB. Praying this woman can accept herself as a visually impaired person. Thus, she is willing to learn the skills to enable her to live safely and independently.
