Lord we
pray for Victor Fedeli and his family as they continue to serve his
constituents in Simcoe North as well as the rest of the province. We
pray that you give him wisdom in regards to decisions he must make both
personally as well as in his role as MPP. We know Lord that you
establish leaders and give them the abilities to lead, so we pray that
you would help Victor to hone the skills that you have gifted him
with. We believe Lord that you will have a lasting impact on his life
and through him his community and province will be blessed. we ask this
all in In Jesus Name!

Kitchener (and later Nipissing University), worked at an advertising
agency in London, and moved home in 1978 to open his own
wildly-successful company, Fedeli Advertising.
