Today was the first day of our distribution venue at the Pacific Agricultural Show. The traffic was much greater than the previous venues, and the contacts we have had so far have been very positive. There have been many hungry and seeking Christian farmers come to our table, including some who have read and appreciated the books of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. Our impression is that these people are very simple, pure, and hungry for the real food.

Local saints from the surrounding churches have taken days off of work to come and help door-knock with the trainees and full-timers. There have been several warm doors in the neighborhoods. The local saints were also strengthened and supplied through the visitation of their homes in the evening.

Our second day of distribution at the Pacific Agricultural Show continued to be filled with encouraging contacts. One man said that he appreciated how we emphasized our experiencing Christ rather than the doctrinal knowledge of Him. Others have been very impressed with the content of the footnotes, as well as the other literature available for them.

It has been a joy to be able to share the riches of the ministry to these ones, and the saints here have been both encouraged and refreshed by the positive interactions at the venue and through door-knocking. The day ended with the trainees and full-timers joining the various YP, college, and young-working saints’ meetings in the homes in the area.

Prayer burdens:

• The Lord would attract some young, local Canadian sons of peace to the venues to become remaining fruit for the church life.
• Many of the positive contacts would be bothered and released to attend one of the seminar sessions this Lord’s day afternoon at 2pm or 3pm.
• The local saints would continue to be encouraged, refreshed, and strengthened to press on to stand as the Lord’s testimony here through the visitation and labouring together.
