HOMEWARD BOUND

With the completion of the meetings in Coldwater, our sojourn in Ontario has come to an end. As we head back down the trail to Alberta, we will have plenty of time to reflect on the events of the past several weeks. Our meetings in Coldwater brought us into contact with folks who have been praying for a Baptist church to be established in their community. For the first time, we had children attend our meetings and they were a great delight. Again, although numbers were not large, the results were positive. It was evident that the Lord’s hand was upon our efforts in this community.

Our Bible teacher, Kevin Peacock, returned to Cochrane, Alberta, Friday morning and we are planning on spending a few days in the area to rest. We also plan on having a debriefing session with Pat and Nadine Armstrong before we part company for the summer. Please keep them in your prayers as they undertake the organization of follow up Bible studies with the folks we met over the past few weeks.

This has been an intense ministry tour for us and, although our bodies are tired our spirits have been strengthened by the work. We have done our best and now it is up to the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of those with whom we came in contact. While we are looking forward to getting home, our heartfelt prayer is that the Lord will continue His work in this area.

On the trail for Him,
