This is a section that reports on some of the recent writings to SCA.  We hope you enjoy seeing what God is doing with and through our many partners.  Read on:

Hello Ken and the Eagle Bay Staff:

Many thanks for your timely gesture!!  If you have regularly tuned in to the National Weather Report you will be aware that winter continues in B C.  Single digit temperatures mixed with significant snow seems to be our lot this year.  Speaking of winter weather. Winnipeg has apparently had some very severe cold weather, particularly when the wind chill is factored in.  This must have compelled the Eagle Bay Staff to postpone  attempts to remove and replace lock hardware.  No doubt there is no shortage of indoor projects in need of regular attention during the “off season”. Hopefully the Staff too will have discovered long ago the value of a warm SCA scarf, particularly this time of year.  Thank you again for supplementing our cold season stock…

You may or not be aware that I grew up in the Prince George area of B C  where +/ - 50 degrees of frost were not unusual.  But this did not deter Shantymen John Bergstrom and Cecil Carter.  These faithful servants would always keep to their schedules regardless of low temperatures, bringing the Good News to the Travers Family and many others in that isolated part of the Province.  English was not John’s birth language but his guitar did not seem to mind as his Norwegian accent came through loud and clear as he sang with us the joyful songs of the blessed. In due course the Bergstrom’s eldest son Ron became my best buddy after we both completed High School.  We have had the joy of continuing to sustain and enhance our friendship through the “miracle” of email.  He and his wife of more than 45 years are still in Ministry in the Community of Niagara Falls, where Jen and I had opportunity to connect with them in the Spring of 2006.

Because of these long-standing connections with SCA we are delighted to have been able to come alongside Eagle Bay with the resources that God has provided out of His Amazing Storehouse!  Jen and I are so very pleased to acknowledge in this small way His Lovingkindness and Tender Mercies.

May Eagle Bay continue to be used for many more years “to the Praise of His Glory”.  If it is within His Will and Purpose perhaps  one day the Lord will enable us to visit Hilbre and rejoice with you firsthand in your Ministry to Children and Families.

Until then may God’s Richest Blessings rest  on  you and yours. Love and  prayers from Jen and Denis Travers
