Howdy folks;
Well, things are sure coming together for the planned church planting mission trip to Ontario in May. Halls have been booked in Kenora, Midland, Penetanguishene and Coldwater. A gospel concert has also been set up for Alzilda, Ontario. I don't want to calculate the distance we are going to travel but, let me say, Canada is a big country and these communities are a long way from Cochrane, Alberta. In the past several weeks, promises of support have been received and it is evident that the Lord's hand is in this church planting mission effort.
For Suzann and I, this will be a different kind of tour. While I will still be singing and reciting, the emphasis will be upon church planting. Team members will be prayer waking during the day and following up after each meeting. Hopefully, the folks in the East will relate to my western style of presenting the Gospel the old fashioned way.
Over the next several months, we will be getting the truck and trailer ready for travel. I will also be setting up Songs of Faith concerts along the way to and from Ontario. Calvary Baptist Church in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan has already confirmed May 3rd for a concert. To the best of my knowledge this church planting strategy has never been attempted before. Your prayerful support will be greatly appreciated.
In the meantime, my efforts will be directed toward writing some new cowboy gospel poetry and learning more of them old gospel songs.
On the trail for Him,
Mike and Suzann Burns
