On Lord’s day we went to the Lord’s table meeting in Brampton. It was a wonderful time of blending. The local saints were really encouraged because so many other localities came to the meeting and they haven’t had such a blending meeting in a long time. We enjoyed that the Lord is recovering us to the proper diet, one of eating the Lord as our real food, only He satisfies. Many times we think we have to do something for the Lord, but He just wants us to eat Him (Gen 2:8-9). We shared with the saints a report on how the students at University of Toronto at Mississauga have been quite open to us on campus. We are sharing the eatable and touchable Lord Jesus with them and there is a sense that the atmosphere amongst the student body is changing. We heard that prior to last week’s tabling and distribution, the Christian students on campus were more “dormant,” but they are gradually becoming more bold to speak about their faith. We encouraged the saints to participate in this labor in whatever capacity they can, and the most necessary and effective way is to pray.

In the afternoon, the teams went door knocking for an hour in some local saints’ neighborhoods. One brother shared with us that during this hour, he developed a very strong burden to save his neighbors because he saw the need for increase in the church. But because he knew he couldn’t do it by himself, he really appreciated the support of the other members of the Body, every member has a function!

In the evening it started to snow really hard and we weren’t sure if our gospel contacts would be able to make it for the BfC seminar but there was a big turnout. The local saints and serving ones ended up having to stand during the meeting because there were so many new ones that we ran out of seats. The seminar covered the history of the Word of God, beginning with how the Bible was formed and the recovery of Christian truths that have been lost or misinterpreted throughout the past two millennia. During the seminar, some of the trainees took care of the children, coloring and drawing pictures with them. One grandma told her grandson, “This is what the Lord Jesus’ children’s meeting is like, do you want to come back?” He told her that he really liked spending time with the brothers and did want to come back!

On Monday, the full-timers took the trainees out for some sightseeing in downtown Toronto. We went to the aquarium and saw the wonders of God’s creation in the ocean. We were all glad that the snowstorm didn’t prevent us from going out because it was really nice to spend time with the whole team, to be built up with one another.

On campus Tuesday, it seemed to start out slower than the past week because Friday was very, very busy at the table and in our Bible study room. But God operates in an unseen realm, so outwardly it might be slow but inwardly we know that the Lord is still moving. This slow day made us more desperate before the Lord, to pray for Him to open up more college students and even arrange their circumstances so that they would have the desire and see the need for them to receive the Lord Jesus and His Word. May He continue to draw more college students to Himself as the One who can satisfy all their needs! Praise the Lord, He is a living and moving God!
