Update Tuesday - Did You See Us In The Paper?

An interesting thing happened while we were meeting at the beer store last week.  A lady from the neighbourhood, just returning her empties (not one of the recycler crowd at all) stopped to ask about what we were doing.  She seemed very intrigued by the idea, and being a bit early for the store opening, decided to hang around with us until the store opened.  After the store opened and she had finished inside, she made a point of coming back to see us before leaving and got some contact info.  As it turns out, she was so taken by what we were doing that she thought others should know about it and took it upon herself to contact the local paper.  Yesterday, we were joined by a reporter who came along for the experience and to write a story about our Monday morning ministry.  We were also joined by our new friend, who was there early again and was intentional about joining us for our prayer time.  

Below is a link to the article that appeared on page 4 of today's Hamilton Spectator.  Although we would never refer to ourselves as "angels," and the numerous (and I mean numerous) references I made to Jesus somehow missed being reported, it was encouraging to think that someone would think enough about what we are doing to want to share it.

As I write this post, it is about 7:45am on Tuesday, and I have already received an e-mail from someone who read the article, visited our web site and is asking to check out one of our Fellowships meetings.  I am reminded that there are always two groups that we serve, those we serve directly and those who are watching us serve.  We never know who may respond and how!
