Update Tuesday

We are very blessed to be coming off another great week with a mission team who helped us to serve in our community.  This time it was a team from Harrison Hills Baptist Church in Indiana.  After twelve hours of "bonding" in a passenger van they were in Hamilton and ready to serve!
We spent the week together engaged in a number of projects which included serving at Mission Services (an organization here in the city serving the underpriviledged), preparing and serving meals to the homeless and prayer walking.  They also had a contractor on their team who lead a group consisting of mission team members and locals to build a shed in our backyard.  As our fellowship group and our fellowship network grows, and as our opportunities for serving the underpriviledged in our community also grows we have found that we were quickly running out of space in our home to house all the necessary supplies and donations.    We are so excited now that we have a lot more room and look forward to how we might use this space as our work continues to grow here in the city.  Below are some pictures from the week.

We really have been blessed by two great teams this summer.  We have one more to go and look forward to all that we will be able to accomplish.

Today, we leave for the Canadian National Baptist Convention annual convention which takes place in Montreal this year.  I am sure there will be some great things to share in next week's update.
