MLA: Mike Farnworth – Port Coquitlam (Demo)

Lord, it is with gratitude and thankfulness that we pray for our duly elected members of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Today, we pray to You on behalf of MLA Mike Farnsworth. We thank You that he has not only served us diligently for 24 years but that he has also served us well. We ask that You will also continue to lead him into strategic partnerships that will aid him in meeting more of the needs that his many years of service have shown him. Bless him this Christmas season and may he spend it surrounded by those he is closest to. In Jesus’ name, we pray! Amen.
