Bud Centre – May Report
Greetings to our Westside Family! We’ve just come through a very busy season and so this update is long overdue. Also, we have faced some personal, tough losses in the last months. It’s hard to put into words how many highlights and lowlights we have experienced but here it goes. On March 15th a person we treasure deeply went to be with Jesus. Our Grandma Glenna Johnson left us in her 91st year. It’s hard to describe how special she was to our family. She was the most special grandma/great-grandma. She joined social media so she could keep up to date with our life. She fiddled...
Faythe Chance – April Update
Here I am holding one of the largest beetles in the world – I’m not sure of the name but it could be a Hercules beetle. An yes, it is alive.

As I write this I am on the island of Palawan for a couple days of rest after four intense days of a heavy medical outreach. Here are a bunch of recent photos of my adventures with my team!

Sri Lanka Mission Report
Here’s a report from Cheryl Anderson about the school mission to Sri Lanka: We are having a wonderful time here in Sri Lanka. We made it here with ALL of our suitcases! That’s a miracle in itself! Nish picked us up with a bus and we made our way to the Centre. Nish and Kristin have kept us busy – painting around the property and playing with the children who come to the Bud Centre. On our first full day here the children performed a song and dance for us. It was beautiful – and LOUD! All of our Westside kids are enjoying the food and the...

Witch Doctor Saved!
Pastor Paul sends us a report of a witch doctor who gave his life to Jesus this past week along with four other witch doctors who also were saved and are now evangelizing their people. See the picture below. Also, Pastor Paul reports that the drought in the northern Kenya region of Samburu continues to be very severe and causing great distress for the people living there. He asks us to pray for the rain to return. Here is a condensed version of a report from the “Nation.Africa” news website about the situation: Starving families, in hunger-stricken parts of Northern Kenya, including Samburu, have been reduced...
Faythe Chance – YWAM DTS Report
Above you can see some of my outreach team – Brooklyn, Dani, and Eryn Dear Westside Family, As some of know, I left Prince George on January 5th for my Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Discipleship Training School (DTS).
