Hello again!

Well Spirits are high as spring is finally upon us. Amazing how the change in season gives you such a boost. We are looking forward to the summer season here and hope to catch up with a lot of our friends and family that we miss so much.

The kids are continuing to adjust nicely to our new surroundings. They just finished hatching out chicks out of an incubator and it was a lot of fun for everyone. “Funny Farm” sure is an accurate way to describe our new home!

Danielle is right back to old form, off and running and always on the go- just the way she likes it. She is also playing in the volleyball league here in Vernon as well as starting to run in long distance races. She and Teagan ran in a 5km all ages race and came in 37^th out of 100 runners. Quite the competitive drive that boy has!

While all the change has been challenging in the last year we are so grateful that God has been faithful throughout and know he will continue to be. Thanks for all the prayers while we were hunting for a church to call home here. We’ve happily landed at Alexis Park Church in Vernon and have already made some good friends and started connected rather quickly.

We played host to an Easter Egg hunt at the Okanagan Nation and it was a good experience for us all as having to put ourselves out there and really leave it all up to God. It was something that was especially special as we were able to do it as an entire family and reach out in love. Thanks so much to those of you who partnered with us on that event. May long weekend brought us back to Alberta as Danielle and I had the privilege of serving at Native Youth Conference (NYC) at Camp Nakamun. It was exciting to see God moving among Native youth from all over Western Canada. There was aprox 300 youth at the event this year and the highlight of the weekend was definitely seeing 115 of them make decisions for Christ! It is amazing to think of the kinds of things God can do with that many new committed children. It was also exciting to have Danielle’s Brother and Sister Daylon and Darcy along with us.

God has been very faithful to us and while constantly challenging us and making us grow in our walks with him and preparing us for all that He has in store, it is always comforting to be able to look back and see his hand in everything that has brought us to where we are today.

We ask that you continue to partner with us in prayer for the following items:

- As we continue to develop relationships and build trust among the local native community 

- For wisdom and unity and we search out God’s will for our lives and serve Him                                                                  

If you wish to partner with us financially as we pursue the call of God on our lives to serve Him in the native community tax deductable donations can be made, specified with our names, to Interact Ministries at www.interactministries.org or Box 60029 Strathmore, AB T1P 0C2.

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

Catching Up with the Sayers

Hello Everyone!

It’s been a wild and crazy year and thought it was time to catch up to everyone. God has been faithful over the last year and in following one step at a time we have found ourselves landed in Coldstream, BC. It was a little over a year ago now that we really felt God pushing us in a new direction in our lives. A growing desire to serve with youth and children and to

get involve in the native community.

We have been accepted as missionaries with Interact Ministries. A group committed to reaching the unreached people groups of the NorthWest Crescent. They have been a great support and we have really enjoyed working under their eadership. God has blessed us with an opportunity to move into an area with a large, unreached native population

The kids have adjusted well to the move, although we are all missing having friends and family close by.

Teagan and Kadence have really enjoyed their new school at Coldstream Elementary. Hayden is enrolled in playschool at Vernon Christian school and seems to be enjoying it as well. Danielle has kept busy chasing the kids around with Daman, setting up our new home, and exploring all the Okanagan has to offer. Working at the General Manager of Parks and

Recreation for Armstrong/ Spallumcheen has provided a platform to get established here and create an entry point to create relationships with the native community.

Our email if you are trying to reach us is bdsayer@yahoo.com. We appreciate all of your prayers as we seek our God’s will for our lives. We hope to see a lot of you before too long, our

place is always open if you are coming through the area!

God Bless!

Byron, Danielle, and family
