May Deputation

 Sunday Morning at First Baptist Church, Charlottetown

Over the past month, we have appreciated our time connecting with friends and supporting churches who are faithfully partnering with us, and Canadian Baptist Ministries, in our international work of Integral Mission. Here are a few snap shots from our visits over the past few days on Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.

 We have been overwhelmed by the love and support of churches for the women’s empowerment ministry of Self Help Groups that Erica leads in Kenya. The solidarity necklaces and scarves that Erica has brought back with us to Canada are providing a solid income for vulnerable refugee families living in the urban ghetto of Eastleigh, Nairobi. Thank you!

Speaking at First United Baptist Church, Moncton
New Brunswick

Last night, Aaron spoke to a packed room at First Baptist Moncton. It was so encouraging to meet many CBM alumni and faithful supporters of mission. We learned that many people in the church have been to East Africa or have close friends who have visited. We want to thank senior pastor Richard Jackson and the congregation at First for their support. It is fantastic to know that churches like First Moncton at deeply involved in Integral Mission within their own community as they reach out to their neighbours through ministries like New Life Mission -- May the Lord bless this community through you!
