Hello from Ajax, Ontario, where we are in our last day of revival meetings at Faithway Baptist Church and College of Canada. We have had a wonderful week with the people of Faithway! Tim has preached daily in college, high school, and elementary chapels and to the church folks in the evening. What a tremendous attendance of around 350 we’ve seen each night, as folks hurry from their jobs in the city of Toronto to catch the bus just in time for the 7 o’clock evening service. The “city life” of Toronto is fascinating to observe, but the people of the city are even more of a fascination with so many ethnic backgrounds, stories of their coming to Canada and the conversations about loved ones and memories that remain still in their homelands. It has been a humbling experience, once again, to become reacquainted and to minister with this precious church family and to meet newcomers since our last time here 4 years ago.
We are praying for a strong ending to tonight’s meeting, that the unsaved (most, who are hearing the gospel in their second language, English) would clearly understand the truths of Scripture and see their need for Christ and that believers would continually be drawn to a closer walk with the Lord. We wish we could teleport you, our friends, to this place. We love the people of Faithway, and we know that you would fall in love with them just the same!
We leave Canada tomorrow and travel to Virginia where we will begin another week of meetings this coming Sunday in Rice, VA. Thank you so much for keeping up with our clan and for praying for the Lord’s hand on our lives and ministry.
