Message from the International Personnel Liaison Officer Greetings from the International Personnel Office. Thank you for your ongoing support of our personnel from Canada & Bermuda serving outside of their home territory. Much has happened in the last few months: Alyshia Van Kannel finally received her visa in December and is now serving as the Director of Schools (Early Education & Literacy) in the Papua New Guinea & Solomon Islands Territory. Major Wendy Mouland arrived at International Headquarters in January and is now serving as the Private Secretary to the Chief of the Staff. There was great concern for Lt.-Colonel Grant Effer who encountered both a health event that affected his heart and then a stroke. You can read further details in his praise report and prayer requests found in page 7.
Territorial Missionary Focus Facebook Page Once per week we continue to post the most recent prayer requests received from our sisters and brothers serving far away from home. It provides a well-timed reminder to intercede for them each Wednesday at 8AM Eastern Standard Time. You can help increase this prayer support by following, liking, commenting, and sharing this page.

Major Royal Senter who had the rare experience of having an international appointment while his wife continued to serve in Canada has now been transferred back to our territory as of January 2024. I should explain Royal was based in Canada, connecting online with his team at IHQ and travelling to various territories as an IFAS training and deployment officer. Commissioners Deborah & Wayne Bungay have just returned for appointments in Canada after over 9 years of international service - at IHQ, as territorial leaders in Tanzania and in the Zimbabwe & Botswana Territory.
