We pray for Michael Chan MPP in Markham -
Unionville today. Lord we pray that Michael will depend on you, ask you for wisdom in
decisions, as he labours to protect the families and people in the province of
Ontario in his role as Minister. Help him as he plows through all the
challenges in these difficult times, and as he is mindful to invest in the
people of Ontario first, and to always do the best thing for the hard working
citizens. Lord, we pray for his family, that you comfort his wife Elaine and their two boys, bless them with health,
protect them and we pray that they would know and feel your presence and great
love for them. In Jesus name we ask and believe for these things. AmenMichael Chan was first elected to the Ontario Legislature in a February 2007 by-election and was re-elected in the general elections of 2007, 2011 and 2014.
