On July 28, 2024 at 7:25pm, the Fort St John RCMP received multiple reports of a female passenger in distress, potentially being held against her will, in a vehicle driving at a high rate of speed in the Cecil Lake area, northeast of Fort St John, BC.

Frontline police officers attended and located a vehicle matching the description of the reports and attempted a traffic stop. The driver of the suspect vehicle collided with a police vehicle and then fled at a high rate of speed.

The business many folks in Grande Prairie know as Midwest on Main has been known by a few different names down the years and has served the community’s residents at a number of different locations.

What has always remained constant, however, is the locally owned and operated furniture, appliance and home decor store’s commitment to providing Grande Prairie and northwest Alberta with quality products priced fairly and backed by exceptional customer service.

1 Corinthians 10:11-13

The past couple of weeks have been some of the toughest of my life. My emotions have spanned the spectrum: shock, sorrow, horror, intense anger, disillusionment, disappointment, and utter bewilderment. I have prayed—without much benefit. I have read the Scriptures from the Psalms and Proverbs to the words of Jesus and various sections of the letters from Paul, Peter, James—without much peace.

Christian singer and songwriter Josh Wilson recently celebrated a special anniversary. 

"I just passed seven years sober," said Josh in a post on Instagram last week. "I meant to post this earlier, but the day came and went so quickly without me even realizing it was my sober anniversary."

For years, Josh battled with an alcohol addiction, something he sings about in his latest album, Mental Help.

A 16-year-old skateboarder from Brazil recently got a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and shared her Christian faith with the world afterward. 

Rayssa Leal used her platform of competing on the world stage to share God's love with the world. After she placed third and won a bronze medal in the women's street skateboarding final on Sunday, she ASL to sign the Bible verse John 14:6. The verse says, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

On top of releasing a new single, Canadian Christian singer Elenee keeps busy as a restaurant owner, wife, and mother of two. 

"In a world that is so consumer-driven, materialistic, and so far from the heart of God, which is abandoning everything and following Him, I just wanted to write a song that took that concept of leaving it all behind and going for Jesus," says Elenee. "It's also fun and sassy."

Elenee's new single 'I Don't Want It' is playing across Canada on the radio right now. The singer and her family live in Lloydminster, SK.
