Mississauga, ON—Gospel Trip, Days 1-4
Our trip started out this weekend with a tour of downtown Toronto, as well as a tour of the tabling sites and venues. In the young people’s meeting this past Saturday, the trainees were able to fellowship with the high school and college age students and share the experiences of being in the Full Time Training. On top of reaching out to the unbelievers on the campuses and at the supermarkets, our burden is also to blend with, strengthen, and encourage the saints in Mississauga and in the surrounding localities.
Today was our first day passing out Bibles at the University of Toronto - Mississauga campus (UTM). This past Lord’s Day, the saints in Toronto helped in packaging over 1,000 New Testament Recovery Versions in 45 minutes. It is a joy for us to pray and labor with the saints in the surrounding localities. UTM is a very diverse school, which makes it a great fishing pond for students of all nationalities. We’ve handed out Bibles to Caucasians, Africans, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and also Middle Eastern students. There was one girl who came up to the table holding a tract in her hand saying, “I read this, I read this!” We could tell from her eyes and speech that she was desperately seeking the truth. She came to the table on her own after being impressed with the tract.
Today, we distributed:
Tracts: 1,078
Bibles: 64
Contacted: 74
Prayed to receive the Lord: 1
The people are open! Please continue to pray for the Lord’s move to Mississauga.
Prayer burdens:
- Please pray for the young people in Toronto, that they would pray to the Lord considering going to the FTTA.
- Please pray for the weather to be not too severe in order to maximize the foot traffic and to facilitate our contact with people (i.e. no blizzards, not too much snow).
- Please pray that the tract/Bible recipients would have a hunger for the Word and would come back to us for appointments, Bible studies, or further contact.
