We just arrived back from Canada July 1st, 2019 on Canada day where we had a miraculous flight home!

Our goal this trip in Canada was to visit with friends and family connecting with key leaders praying for REVIVAL in Canada. On our way to Prince George we also got to go to a wedding (Daniel & Alicia Law) in Quesnel connecting with friends Brian and Laura Clayton, so great to see you all.

We were unable to visit Tsay keh Dene First Nations village this trip but we had some divine appointments and were still able to see friends and a few elders from the village church visiting in Prince George. In the below three photos is Sarah Pierre, Bob Pierre and Lori Massettoe.

In Prince George as Holy Spirit lead, it was a blessing to see Pastors Henry and Jean Dunbar as well as meet their friend Margret from Abbotsford who prayed for us! They visited the villages and gave us updates. We connected with leaders Dave and Dorthy Low, Adrianna and Wayne, Annie and Steve Weinard, Bill and Valerie Taylor, Art and Arlis. It was also great to see our friend Amanda again on Friday. We connected with Pastors Ron and Sharon Gray of Faith Alive, and Catherine joined the worship with her violin on Fathers Day June 16 and Sunday June the 23. We got to connect with family as well, brothers of Anthony’s, Rick and Kevin Chartrand in the next two photos.

So Thankful

Thank you to all who sowed in many ways, financially, spiritually with prayer, practically with meals, housing, airport runs and hospitality!! This trip could not have been possible without your friendship and your heart for God! Thank you for partnering with us in these many ways.

Some Practical things!

Many of you know we were believing to sell our Canadian car this trip taking care of some practical things that are important. We thought we would have a buyer on Wednesday June 26. We held off booking our plane ticket just in case we had to drive our car back to the lower mainland. Good thing we waited because our buyer came on Thursday night at about 6pm right when we were praying and surrendering EVERYTHING! We were going to fly out Friday but we ended up finalizing the sale and transferring the car to the new owners Friday at 4pm! We had booked our flight before the final sale of the car (praying hard sale would not fall threw) on Thursday night to fly out early Saturday morning June 29 back to Vancouver! Then we had a couple days in the lower mainland till our already scheduled Monday flight back to Detroit.

It was amazing to see Him move as we humbled our hearts realizing we can’t and don’t want to do a thing without His Holy Spirit leading. This is so humbling to realize we are absolutely dependent on Jesus Christ our Lord and His body which is compromised of many people from many backgrounds! We need Jesus in each other!

Waymaker- miracle worker!

Speaking of practical this seems to be the theme of our year. We are learning that Daddy God wants to be our all in all in EVERY area of our lives! He wants to show off His glory even in those little things as well as the big things! It is ALL important.

He cares about our heart attitudes when we are going through tests and trials. He wants to see how will we respond in that place of testing.

Proverbs 4:23 New International Version (NIV)

Fun in the Park and Worship Invasion!

Thank you to ALL who came out to Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford, BC on Saturday June 29th at 3pm to catch up and fellowship.We love you ALL and were touched by your heart to come. Thank-you Dale & Linda Hood for making the trip from Bellingham, USA, to visit with us. We always have a great time learning and hearing your stories from your many years of ministry experience.

Also it was a blessing to see many more beloved friends at the monthly Worship Invasion that our friend Amy (Schmidt) Andersen invited us too. We love and bless you as well as all your families in Jesus name.

Giving Honor where it is due

Thank you to our dear friend Victoria for picking us up at the Vancouver airport on Saturday and feeding us! Thank you to our precious sister in the Lord Genevive for blessing us with housing in Chiliwack, B.C., taking us to Worship Invasion and to Langley Sunday night for church at The River Fellowship. I was honored to be able to play my violin with the The River Fellowship worship team that night where a strong presence of God engulfed us.

We so appreciate Pastors Paul and Heidi Hughes along with their whole leadership team at The River Fellowship. Thank you to Nathaniel who housed us Sunday night in Richmond and took us very early at 4am on Canada Day to the Vancouver airport!

Happy 4th of July- back in the USA!

Thank you ALL for your prayer covering as we flew back home to the States we could feel it. We miraculously made our connecting flight in Toronto due to a 15 minute delayed which gave us time to go through the border and customs, back to Detroit, MI.

We arrived safely at 5pm July 1st into Detroit, MI, where we will be preparing for Michael David our second child.

Please keep up the prayer covering for us as the Lord processes and leads us into what He wants for us.

Thanks so much for ALL the love and prayers! We are humbled and honored by your connection and support in our lives.

Blessings, love and FIRE as we serve Christ together in the harvest for His glory,

The Chartrands

Anthony, Catherine, Alexander and baby Michael David (coming Oct.4!)

Testimony – Divine Appointment Toronto!

On Canada day July 1st 2019 we were waiting in the Toronto airport for our connecting flight to Detroit. Anthony was walking around with Alexander while Catherine was resting. At one point Alexander casually walked over to a empty chair and crawled up on it and sat nicely waiting. Two chairs away was a man who put his hand out for Alexander to give him a “high five” then Alexander went back to sitting and waiting. Shortly a women came to sit down between Alexander and the man. Alexander then put out his hand and started rubbing the womens arm. I noticed and said “oh im so sorry” but she replied “oh no that is ok”. Alexander continued to play with her sleeve and that continued for a few moments. Then Alexander and myself got up and went back over to join Catherine. Then on the flight guess who was sitting right next to us? Yes that is right, this same couple. Turns out they are Jewish and currently living in Israel. They have three sons and the middle son passed away and if that son was still alive he would be the same age as Anthony (45 years old both of them born in 1974). Isn’t that amazing? Also Catherines red hair color is the same hair color as her sons hair and she said as soon as she saw Catherine it made her smile and think of her son also. Another neat thing is her name is also “Hannah”. We enjoyed talking with them and Anthony shared a few hebrew words and we sang a bit of “Shabbot Shalom” together. We had a great time. They also invited us to come and visit them at their home in Israel. Thank-you Lord for this new divine relationship.

Word for Connecticut on this July 4th 2019!

This morning Anthony got a word for “Connecticut” this is what he saw:

“Connecticut is now open for business”

Then as he prayed more about this word he felt this verse. Ecclesiastes 3:2 – “A time to plant”.

He believes prayer times in Connecticut could reveal business strategies and financial blessings.

It’s a season change for Connecticut. We pray for salvations and a move of God’s Glory. In Jesus mighty name.
