The Final Week of Deputation

By the daily grace of our God we have completed deputation, have returned to Nova Scotia, and are about to start the work which the Lord has laid upon us.

Last Thursday we traveled from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to The Pas, Manitoba to meet with Dave Brauer, his family, and Bible Baptist Church.  This is the furthest north we have been on deputation.  We had a blessed time with all.

On Saturday we drove to Winkler, MB where we stayed the night in a hotel.  We visited Pembina Valley Baptist Church on Sunday morning.  In fact, PVBC graciously supplied the Saturday night's hotel room and were very kind to us.

On Sunday afternoon we drove south into North Dakota and went to New Testament Baptist Church in Larimore.  We had a precious evening of fellowship with the church and the Pastor and Mrs. Schaeffer.

On Monday we hit the road eastward early and made it to the Chicago, IL area.  Tuesday the Lord allowed us to drive as far as Syracuse, NY and on Wednesday we made it into Canada and to my brother-in-law and sisters home outside of St. John, New Brunswick.  Then on Thursday morning we caught the ferry from St. John, NB to Digby, NS.  What a blessing to see the shores of home once again.  An hour drive from Digby placed us home in Yarmouth and rejoined us with our two oldest children.

Praise the Lord for all His wonderful works.  Coast of NS.

We praise the Lord for carrying us through three years and four months of deputation and it is with great prayer and expectation that we look toward the future.  To all our supporters, this is the time we have been working towards; thank you for standing with us and may the Lord strengthen you and us to continue standing.
