Hamilton/St. Catherines, ON—Gospel Trip, Report 3
We spent two days traveling to different cities throughout Southern Ontario to visit saints from the Mennonite background. The trainees were joined by many local saints from Hamilton and St. Catharines. We discovered that these saints are incredibly seeking and very hungry for the truth. Upon our arrival to the meeting place, we promptly sat down and began meeting in a very organic way. Spontaneously, saints would stand to share their testimonies after an extended time of singing. We were incredibly happy to have the privilege to hear the touching testimonies that these saints shared.
Today, we distributed 36 Bibles along with over 100 tracts at Brock University in St. Catharines. Additionally, two people prayed to receive the Lord at the table. Historically, it has been very difficult to acquire a location to distribute Bibles at Brock University. However, the Lord really prepared the way as we were able to find a seeking believer within the campus administration who arranged for us to have a very good spot for the distribution. During the distribution, it was very encouraging to see many students staring as they walked past the table, only to return and inquire about a free Bible.
Prayer Burdens:
- Pray for more blending between the Mennonite saints and the other saints of Southern Ontario and that the Lord would continue to usher these saints into their organic function in the Body.
- Pray for the proper follow up of all the students that we met in the first half of the trip in Hamilton at Mohawk College and McMaster University.
- Pray that the Lord would be able to gain a beachhead on Brock University by gaining key students through the Bible distributions.
