My friend Lana


Almost 30 years ago, before Susan and I began our new little church that we were to call Northside Chapel, we moved out to Port Coquitlam and settled into a new neighbourhood. It wasn't long before we were privileged to meet one of our new neighbors--a precocious 2 year old named Lana Davidson.

In a couple of years, after our church began meeting at Lincoln Elementary School, one of the first families to join us was the Davidsons. They very soon became strong leaders . Now Lance and Joyce are among our most valued friends and elders. Meanwhile Lana has grown up!
First she became a leader in Kids church, then in youth, then as a greeter. A few years ago, Lana went on her first missions trip to Costa Rica And she was hooked!

Today, right after church where I had an opportunity to bless her one more time, Lana left to spend a year as a true-blue missionary in Costa Rica. We pray that God will protect Lana spirit, soul and body; anoint her with the power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit and enlarge her ministry farther than she could possibly imagine. We love you Lana, my little neighbour!
