Bibles for Canada - Fredericton Trip

This past weekend there were over 30 saints across Eastern Canada that came together to Fredericton, New Brunswick for a time to distribute the Word of God.  Between Montreal and Halifax, there are no local churches and many of us realized the need for the Lord's testimony to spread in this part of Canada.  Many of the people were open to receiving a study bible.  It is a great joy to share Christ with others!

Some quick highlights:
- The localities represented were: Winnipeg, Toronto, Halifax, Montreal
- We distributed over 100 bibles
- We had a seminar on Lord's Day, where a young Russian-Jew prayed to receive the Lord!
- We broke bread for the first time in Fredericton




 We spent 20 hours in the van, so I got to built up with some of the brothers, especially Vanya (on the left).  I had plenty of opportunities to practice speaking French with him.  We read the morning revival in French then shared our enjoyment in French.  And this Friday we will be attending the French speaking home meeting.  The churchlife is so sweet here in Montreal and I'm enjoying pursuing the Lord with all the brothers and sisters day by day :)

  1. It's a good thing you decided to go to McGill in Montreal. Not only you have the opportunity to blend in with the local church people but also brush up with your conversational French.
    I'm happy for you. Take time out to play tennis or basketball too. Just be careful with your ankles. TCGB.

  2. Glad to hear that you are enjoying your stay in Montreal. The best way to improve your French is to speak it out. This is a rare opportunity to be be able to participate the Lord's move in distributing the Bible. May the Lord's Word run.
