The last few days of our gospel trip were spent distributing, door-knocking, and following up on the warmest doors and contacts who requested for small group fellowship. Despite the cold and rain, many saints still came to help labor together with the full-time team and trainees. Though our fingers were numb and our toes wet, our spirits were burning and it was a glorious time of going out with the Lord in the nearby neighborhoods.

Our last seminar on Saturday had the lowest attendance of all our seminars, yet the Lord still brought some solid seeking ones, as well as one who saw our table just before we were about to close. He was seeking a group to meet with while visiting the area for the next two months. He attended the table meeting the next morning and said it was “awesome”.

On Saturday evening, we concluded with a wonderful overflow meeting where saints from all the surrounding churches came to listen and testify of what the Lord had done these past two weeks. Many of those who participated shared concerning the hunger and dissatisfaction of many believers whom we met and their openness to meet and fellowship.

It seemed that the Lord had specifically prepared some who were ready to be contacted by us to be shepherded and to be fed. Many praised and thanked the Lord for the privilege of laboring in coordination with Him to be one with Him in His move. Some of the local saints expressed their desire to help with the follow-up after the overflow meeting concluded.

We praise the Lord for what He has done, is doing, and will do in the Fraser Valley area. We look to the Lord in how to go on after these past two weeks of labor. Our prophesying meeting on Lord’s day ended fittingly with prayers that the Lord would duplicate His heart in us to be His Samuels caring for His interest, move, and enlarged expression for the temple church life.

Prayer burdens:

• The Lord would encourage and strengthen the local saints to rise up to function according to their measure in following-up and caring for the 40 contacts who were the most open.
• A regular appointment would be established with the 6 contacts who have already had a second appointment with the saints.
• The Lord would gain young, local Canadians as remaining fruit for His proper testimony here in Abbotsford, as well as the entire Canada.
