We thank You Lord for the care and concern MLA: Eric Foster has for his community, province and nation. We ask that You would lead him into initiatives that are unique and continue making British Columbia a great place to raise a family, work, build relationships and retire in. We ask that You arrange by Your Grace divine meetings with individuals and groups that would give him even more understanding of the needs of his constituents and ultimately positively effecting many in our province.  We Bless Him in Jesus name.
