Is that a leaf falling? sigh*

Hello again!

I hope that this letter finds you well and that you had an amazing summer!

We are all back home here in Coldstream and jumping headlong into all the excitement and activity that fall
brings. Very different than one year ago when we knew no one here and had no commitments as a result.
 This fall has 3 of our children in school full time and Daman starting playschool. Another new phase in life and
one the kids seem most excited to take on. Kadence is starting piano this fall and Teagan is will be playing soccer.

The summer months were truly amazing as our first time as residence here in the Okanagan. The kids enjoyed the outdoors and all the different activities that are available. We’ve had lots of good family time with the kids including watching, as Teagan calls it “Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid”.  We had an amazing time with all the visitors that came through and the kids loved the cousin time and getting to meet Ardi for the first time as well. They are counting down the days until Grandma’s and Grandpa’s will be coming for a fall visit.

Our trip back to Alberta at the beginning of September was a great opportunity to connect with friends and family even though it was a quick and busy trip. Sadly the Labour Day Classic was anything but a Classic but a good time with family none-the-less. We had the opportunity to spend a weekend at Camp Gladstone with the Native churches from the South. It was great to connect with community there, meeting lots of new faces and really enjoyed the family and getting more familiar with the camp there. We are very grateful for the leadership we are able to serve under with Interact and excited for what God is doing there.

This fall we will be starting to serve in the Native Christian Fellowship in Kamloops working with the Youth and pre-teens. We are excited to work alongside those already there and learn from them. God has blessed us incredibly and we are so grateful for this opportunity to serve Him.

We we love you to join us and support us in prayer. Please either fill out a response card or email us (bdsayer@yahoo.com)so we can keep you up to date with any urgent requests as they come up. Please keep us in prayer for the following items:

ü  For the kids as they start the new school year, especially Hayden as Kindergarten is Full Time here and it will be a big transition for him.  

ü  That relationships with the youth will develop and that the Holy Spirit would begin to work in their hearts even now.

ü  For Balance between work, ministry, and family life. That God would continue to direct and provide for us and we serve Him. 


We will be looking for churches to come and share our vision with so if you know of any that might be a possibility please let us know!                                                     

Thanks so much for all of your Love and prayers and hope to hear from you soon!

Byron and Danielle -Teagan, Kadence, Hayden, and Daman
