Gord & heather - November 2019
PRAISE: We are grateful that 35 VMC-related people were able to attend the church planting Canada event in Montréal last week. This has always been an event that sparks relationships, encouragement and opportunity for church planting. Just now I am in dialogue with three people; one from India, one from Nigeria and one from Eritrea. All three are eager to plant churches in Canada. On November 11 I will be meeting with five men, each of whom are leading a network of immigrant churches. Please pray that the Spirit of God would guide us in our conversation on that day. Also pray that we would be able to find people who will be willing to shoulder some of my own responsibilities in days to come.
