So much has happened in the last month that it is difficult to rehearse everything as it happened.
Firstly, I resigned my church at Angleton (Greater Heights Baptist Fellowship) and it will be affective this coming Sunday. The church and I had a good relationship but I strongly felt that I was no longer being effective. My Lord was preparing me for a return to my 'home and native land', Canada.
Alice and I hope to be in the Toronto area by the end of November. We are excited but sad. We are excited about the great opportunities that abound in the Greater Toronto Area for church planting and outreach. We are saddened to leave our children and grandchildren! It has been 21 years since we lived in Canada.
We will be working to restart the church we planted in 1975. There is unfortunately just a small core group left but we will do our best with the Lord's help to restart this work and hopefully start other churches.
The need in Canada cannot be overstated! There are more people in Canada from other countries than are original Canadians. (In fact, it is becoming difficult to determine what an original Canadian is anymore; the country is now a mosaic of cultures and languages that surpasses anything else in the entire world).
The Greater Toronto Area (ten million) is probably the most diverse place on the globe. This affords us great opportunity for ministry and evangelism which can impact the entire globe. Everyone living in southern Canada has relatives somewhere else in the rest of world.
So please pray for us as we are in need of financial support to sustain us.
Please call us or email us to let us know you will be praying for us.
