Background and initial prayer requests
It recently occurred to me that the best way to get out my information to as many people as possible with prayer requests and what's happening would be to make a blog out of it. So here we are.
As you all know, (and for those of you that don't know) I am currently in Montreal serving with Campus Crusade for Christ on a summer project. Here I will be training in evangelism methods (in English and in French) as well as getting leadership training so that when I come back home I will be better equipped to help grow the Campus Crusade for Christ movement back at my home campuses as well as better equipped to serve in my church as well.
To that extent, we will be receiving theoretical (in the form of training nights and workshops and talks and such) as well as practical (in the form of evangelistic outreaches on campuses and personal initative evangelism in the workplace) training on evangelism and discipling.
So far, God has been good to provide me with a job to cover the expenses of the groceries and getting started, but it's a graveyard shift job with some seriously heavy manual labour (somethign I'm not entirely used to) so I'm still looking for a job during the day. That would be my first prayer request, because if I'm worrying about finances, it'll be difficult to concentrate on the true reason that I'm here in Montreal; that is to spread and share the Gospel with Quebeccers in Montreal.
We've also made contact with the students here in the residence that I'm staying in (Solin Hall, a McGill offcampus residence) and hope to build relationships with the students and share the Gospel with them as well. So please pray for that.
Our team is 14 strong, so pray that God would give us wisdom, courage, and strength as we fight to retake Quebec as a stronghold of the Lord. Quebec is strategically placed in Canada to really reach the Francophone world in Africa and Europe, as there are many international students from French-speaking countries such as Cameroon, Gaybon, Senegal, Morocco, and Tunisia (just to name a few). If we can reach these students with the Gospel, they can return home as a witness to their own people in these nations, some of which are actually extremely closed to the Gospel.
That's all I have so far, but I will keep you all updated as time goes by. Thank you for praying for me and supporting me, and I hope that God blesses you in return.
