Again it has taken me a long time to update and to be honest I've found it hard to do so. When I came in January it was easy to because it was a new place. New things were happening and I was engaged in things that was new to me in the ministry but as time has passed this place has started to become home in a way. As I walk around and take part in the ongoing ministry we started in January, the more the people and this place has become a part of me.

With that being said, more new things have been taking place in the past couple weeks, for me especially. It was mentioned about a month ago to the people on our team that it might be possible for us to come back in the fall. I immediately threw the idea out the door. The reason I did so was because I had already received my International calling and when I got home felt it was a good opportunity to knock out classes so I could pursue the long term path that God was laying out for me. Just like so many times before, but this time with much less resistance, I began to pray about what that meant both in the short term and in the long term. So many options have been presented and it's an exciting time for sure. I never thought that so many options could lead towards the same end goal and look so good! A couple weeks ago the option to come back was presented to me again but this time straightforward. I was spending some time with our supervisor and he just flat out asked if I had an opportunity to come back, would I take it. I said yes I would and from there the option to come back in the fall came back to my mind. As I have prayed about it, it has slowly made its way from a thought to this actually could happen.

I feel like God is fixing to do great things here. Just to give you an example, I go to a pastor's prayer meeting every Tuesday. A short back story is needed at this point. The local catholic churches here have, in the years, had to sell their buildings because of how turned off the people are towards them and so companies are people place bids on them to turn them into whatever. A catholic church that sits on the corner of the only intersection in the middle of Lennoxville, was selling their building and places were putting in bids for it. A pastor who attends this prayer meeting stated that his church was going to place a bid in for this church because of the central location in town. He stated that this was a great place to have a ministry and so we began to pray for it. After about 2-3 weeks of praying, rumor was that McDonald's was the one that was going to get the church. This didn't stop us from praying for it the following week because it wasn't set in stone. A week after that the pastor was informed that his bid for the church won! This is just one story about what God is doing here. Most stories and chats we have with people here are disappointing in some way but it's the ones with hope that keep spirits alive.

That is all written to say that I am working on an application with the North American Mission Board to come back to Canada in August, God willing. As I look back on the past several months of how all of this has taken place and I marvel at where God has taken me. A little less than a year ago I wondered if ministry Internationally was it. In a chain of events and prayer I was lead here. In a little over 2 months here, I've seen that ministry Internationally is it and now just might, as well, be finding out where in the world I need to be. The Gospel is needed here in Quebec. I've been among one of the most unreached people groups in the world, which might seem surprising since it's so close to the United States but it is.

Sure its difficult being in a place that is so spiritually dark, I would be lying if I said it wasn't. Satan can be relentless at some points with small subtle attacks but it's because he knows the light is trying and will break through! To his disliking, God is pleased to go where his people are driven to take the Gospel too and I believe Quebec is being setup for something special.
