NORTHERN ONTARIO

Howdy Folks!

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been on the road for over two weeks. During that time, we have traveled over 3,000 km and held six services. Attendance numbers were not large, but the response has been genuine and enthusiastic.
After the meetings in Kenora, we headed the caravan east again. Our next stop would be Azilda, Ontario, a small community on the outskirts of Sudbury. We arrived late Saturday afternoon and, after meeting with the pastor, set up the sound eauipment. Azilda Baptist Chapel is an old school house with some limitations but, as the pastor said: “It’s paid for.”

In spite of the holiday long weekend, the church was nearly full on Sunday morning. Our posters had been put up in the town and drew a few folks to the service. Being an older congregation, there was no problem with the old hymns and gospel songs. With a little explanation, even the cowboy poetry was well received.

After the service, we packed up again and headed to the Muskoka region for our next series of meetings. We parked in a provincial park and spent some time reorganizing and cleaning up the trailer. The weather is starting to warm up and we are settling into trailer living. For the next few days, we will be putting up posters for our meetings in Penetaguishine and Coldwater. These communities are not very far a part and, hopefully, we will be able to draw folks to our meetings over the next two weeks.

Keep up the prayers as we minister in this area.

On the trail for Him,

Mike and Suzann Burns
