“Subay! Subay!”  January 2, 2025

Psalm 100:3-5 "Know that the Lord is God.  It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.  For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." 

A memory from Sue Black:  “I remember one time in the Philippines, Donna Aldridge and I were out for a walk and had stopped under the shade of a nice tree.  Some children came by and started shouting "subay", "subay".  Donna and I were trying to learn Illongo and started searching our minds to remember what "subay" meant.  About 2 minutes later, we remembered because red ants had crawled up under our clothes and were ferociously biting us.  I still remember the word to this day! “ 

“During my time with EI I saw God "show up" in so many ways.  God used the spiritual teaching from Training School, (including classes with George Middleton), and that year in the Philippines, to expand my perspective, grow my faith and deepen my relationship with Jesus.  I believe that God used it to change the course of my life and I will forever be thankful for that.”

Sue served with EI in the Philippines in 1980 and then in the Stouffville, Ont. office until 1992.
