PENETANGUISHENE

Howdy Folks!

Our time in Penetanguishene was profitable to the extent that we made our presence known in the community. Folks did not come to the meetings, except for the last night. A woman, who attends the Alliance church in Midland, came on the last night. I was able to sing at the retirement residence to about half of their residents. There’s a good possibility for a small group Bible study in the future.

We also were able to talk to some of the locals about the town and surrounding communities. Potentially, the area is ripe for Bible studies and small group ministries. While we were not able to attract folks to our meetings, we the time spent in Penetanguishene was worthwhile. It is a logical community to focus on along with Midland and Coldwater. Opportunities are plentiful and the need is great.

As we leave Penetanguishene, we travel down the road to Coldwater. Again we set up in the community centre parking lot. We’re thankful that we brought along a generator. At least we have electricity to run the toaster. A water and sewer hookup would be nice but we can get along with out them.

After a year of planning and praying, it’s come down to our last three meetings. Team members are tired but haven’t lost their enthusiasm for the work. We are looking forward to the last three meetings in Coldwater and then heading back to Alberta.

On the trail for Him,
