On the Road in Eastern Canada

Tobique River, New Brunswick

Our home assignment tour continues in Atlantic Canada as we travel in the province of New Brunswick sharing about CBM’s partners and ministries in Africa. Since arriving, we have enjoyed wonderful gatherings with friends and supporters in Midland Baptist Church; Pembrook Baptist Church; Burtt’s Corner Baptist Church; Plaster Rock Baptist Church; Douglas Baptist Church; Hammon Valley Community Church; Young at Heart; and Grand Bay Baptist Church.

We’ve also had great visits with friends and family in Riverview, Sussex, Saint John, Fredericton, and today in Hampton. This weekend we will be returning to Moncton to speak at Lewisville Baptist Church and to connect with friends and supporters in the area.

Next week, Aaron will be travelling to Bathurst with Emma and Ava, and Erica and Tristan will be flying to British Columbia where Erica will be speaking about the ministry of the Guardians of Hope program as part of a missions conference in Penticton, in the province’s southern interior. 

Once Erica and Tristan return from British Columbia, we will be driving to Nova Scotia where we will be speaking at Mount Uniacke Baptist, Kentville Baptist, and New Minas Baptist Churches.

 

 

Please continue to pray for our family as we try to make the most of this short time in Canada. We are looking forward to some much needed family time with Aaron’s parents and siblings in Prince Edward Island, and a camping trip with Erica’s mom and sisters in New Brunswick.

In Prayer

Please continue to uphold our Africa team in your prayers. We have been in regular contact with many of our colleagues and partners in Kenya, Rwanda and South Sudan. 

This past week, the first food relief distribution was completed in the community of Narus, in Western Equatoria, South Sudan. We are praying for Reverend Samuel Moyoko and his congregation who are on the front lines of this critical ministry.

Please pray for the security situation in Kenya. Especially remember our partner churches serving in the volatile communities of Garissa and Eastleigh where terror attacks continue to threaten the people we are serving.

We are also praying for our colleagues Randy and Elizabeth Legassie who will be completing their assignment in Kenya with the Africa Brotherhood Church in August. Presently, they are leading pastoral training seminars in Machakos and finishing up the term at the Eastern Kenya Integrated College.

Welcoming Janice and Jonathon Mills to the Canadian Baptist Ministries’ Africa Team the Mills are currently raising support as they prepare for ministry in Rwanda.
