Kitchener, Ontario—Gospel Trip, Report 4
Last week, the GTCA team distributed 210 Bibles over four university/college campuses. We had many open contacts who gladly received the free Bibles and we are making plans for follow-up this coming week. Currently we have about 1-5 contacts we are meeting for each campus this week.
Last weekend, the team drove out to southwest Ontario to meet the saints there at a community center. This group of saints recently came into the church life, coming out of Mennonite colonies and Christian denominations. On Saturday night, the trainees from the St. Catherine’s team joined us as well for some dinner, singing, and testimonies. It was amazing to hear what the Lord has done there in these saints’ lives. The Lord’s ways are certainly higher than our ways. Afterwards, the Kitchener team took hospitality in three of the families’ homes. Spending time with these saints in their homes was very sweet and intimate and we can tell how hungry and sincere they are.
The next morning, we had a singing and sharing time. It was organic and full of life. Afterwards we had a love feast together and got to know some other families. The team couldn’t stay much longer however, and left after lunch, even though the saints stayed longer for their prophesying meeting. We all left feeling fed and satisfied physically and spiritually. We are praying for them, that the Lord will continue to bless them and grow in them.
On Monday, the team went to University of Waterloo for some more Bible distribution. We made the same amount of contacts we had the first time we went to UW with a total of 23 Bibles given away via one-on-one contact (no Bibles for Canada table). One female student was saved and we are praying she will get connected to the Chinese speaking saints here.
Prayer burdens:
- Pray for the students’ responses when following up
- Pray for the establishment of the appointments
- Pray that the students will be open to be connected further after the first appointment.
- Pray for students, who were not willing to give their contact information, would contact us
- Pray the seed will grow and the local saints will pick up the burden to care for the open ones
- Pray for the saints in Southwest Ontario, for their going on in Him
