Elementary School Survey & Meeting
Proposed Elementary School at NKMB – Join us in the MPR room each Sunday from 10:20 to 10:50 to hear about the proposed new school and to answer your questions.
NKMB is considering adding a Christ-centered Elementary school onto our existing church building. On behalf of church council, we are reaching out to the church for their prayerful feedback. The questionnaire helps us to discern God’s leading. All responses to this survey will be kept confidential.
Sponsorship update
We are working closely with MCC and awaiting guidance from an immigration lawyer regarding our application for Gifty’s daughter, Grace. Please keep all those involved in your prayers during this challenging time. We also received an encouraging message from Pastor Israel in Danané: “We continue to hold strong in our faith, trusting that everything will work out. I believe nothing has failed—it’s simply unfolding according to God’s perfect timing. Thank you to everyone for your tireless efforts to bring Grace here. It will surely come to pass.”
Men’s Retreat:
Join us on February 7-9 at Red Rock Bible Camp for our annual men’s retreat. Cost and registration details coming soon.

Thank you :
Forever for all the intercessions in prayer, kindness in many ways showed to our family in these difficult days as we grieve Henrique’s passing. May God bless you all. The Kasdorf family
Small Groups:
Small Groups at NKMB are smaller gatherings where people meet to do life together, support each other, discuss God’s Word, and pray for one another. If you would like to join or host a small group contact Ivo Penner.
Prayer Week:
Join us for Prayer Week from January 5–12 as we come together to seek God’s presence, experience His forgiveness, and pray for the healing of our land. There will be activities and initiatives for kids and families. Pick up a card with more details at the Info Desk.
Financial:
As we approach the end of our year, we thank God for His provision and grace over our church. As a finance committee, we are estimating that we will require approximately $100,000 of giving in December to meet all of our obligations. Please keep us in your prayers and thank you for your continued support for what God is doing here at NKMB.
Giving options at NKMB include cash, cheque, direct deposit, online and e-transfers: send to donations@nkmb.org
