Our annual January trip! And thus our annual picture of the snowy Ontario road leading north…It was time again for community outreach meetings in Pickle Lake. There was no winter road conference before the outreach this year, so the trip was shorter than usual. Our missionary friends the Rassmussens have such a heart for the community there. The outreach included four gospel meetings over the weekend and an addictions workshop on Saturday.

Every year we are blessed by our “family” in Pickle Lake, both in the fellowship we have and also working together to reach out to the community. We may not see immediate results, but the gospel went out and it is God who gives the increase. Pray for the believers there who are laboring in the gospel.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58 NKJV
