MLA: Mike Farnworth - Port Coquitlam

Lord we want to thank You for the political leaders we have in our Legislature here in British Columbia. Today we ask a special blessing on MLA: Mike Farnsworth. We are grateful for his life of public service to our province as an MLA and as a city Councillor.  We pray that You will continue give him keen insight as to where, how and with who to connect in order that he may fulfill the mandate that You have for this province and its people. Continue to keep him in good health. May he have a productive summer while at the same time enjoying a time of relaxation and renewing of relationships with family and friends. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
