Home Assignment 2010

Over the first weekend of July, we completed our home assignment tour with some wonderful gatherings in Bath, Jacksonville and Sussex Corner. We are so thankful to all of our friends who made this time of visiting and speaking about the ministry of Canadian Baptist Ministries in Africa so great!

On Sunday, we joined our friends at Midland Baptist Church near Norton, New Brunswick, for worship. It was a great time of connecting with pastor Alden Crain and all of our church family there. We shared about our ministry in Kenya and new responsibilities with Guardians of Hope in Africa.

The service began with a dedication of our friends Andrew & Kelly Myers' baby Leah. Leah was born July 21, 2009. Aaron had the joy of sharing the prayer of blessing for Leah and the Myers family.
