****An awsome Campus Ministry Update*******
Remember the Iranian couple I told you about that attended "The Network" concert at UNB? Well....they were at church tonight!!!!!!!!!! They will be checking out our E.S.L classes too. We went out to eat with them tonight and got to know them a little better! They have only been in Canada 2 months, they are very open and soon will be coming over for a Turkey dinner (they have never tasted turkey before). They didn't get to taste it for Canadian Thanksgiving due to a lack of friends...well they have a monkey for a friend now! I was able to share about culture shock and other things and we definitely connected!!!!!

Some more great news...a University student that has been coming for a while and was baptized last week......RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST TONIGHT!!!!!!!

WOOHOOOOO

That makes 26 in a little over a month and over 50 added to our church since the summer!!!!! Prayer is working folks!!!!!!

*be prepared for a lot of reports like this*

It's great news! Another student is planning on starting to attend youth as well. ;) God is good!

This thread is so refreshing. It (Canadian) has always been my favorite one, and I'm REALLY enjoying reading about your campus ministry. Keep up the good work. I'm praying for the Iranian couple!

I had a wonderful day at the university in China. We were so warmly welcomed by the Vice-President and other faculty. I have been invited to stay on campus in the guest quarters on my next trip so that I can spend more time interacting with the students.

The university provided a board room for our private meeting with the 12 students we are sponsoring with bursaries this year. We enjoyed a fantastic introductory meeting and meal afterwards that I can't even describe here on this forum. It's like God knitting our hearts together with His love.

Tomorrow I will meet with four students for discussions that we pray will result in a baptism service. On Saturday the university is arranging a driver to take me back to the university so I can spend the afternoon fellowshipping with the students again. It's incredible how well I have been received.

Thanks for the great reports.

I have enjoyed reading about your trip immensely.

Are you able to conduct open baptisms?

Incredible.

You can't post more reports like this than we can rejoice over.

It is exciting to think about the potential of converted Iranians.

The conversion of College students is enough to make even sluggish angels shout.

P.S. Forget the turkey, and get them a good feed of fiddleheads and gaspereau.

We had a beautiful Remembrance day service this morning as the youth read poems and some of the older folks testified of memories of family members who were involved in the military.

We began the day with a 9:00 AM service in order to allow participation in the community service at the local cenotaph. It was great - a real "only in small town New Brunswick" kind of service.

The service began with a call to worship proclaimed by an Anglican minister "in the name of our all inclusive God." After the singing of "O Canada," the Scripture reading was done by the local United Church minister. The usual passage from the Psalms was set aside in favour of a text chosen by the Presbyterian minister who was to deliver the message. Here is the Scripture Reading:

Quote:

Revelation 19:11-21

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LordS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

The message was "The War to End all Violence."

The preacher preached the reality of evil, and the coming of the Son of God as the solution to the problem of violence and evil. He preached Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He preached the coming judgement of God on wicked men and governments. He preached the coming Kingdom of God, and a little more emphasis on the judgement of God.

It's not every day that you hear about the lake of fire and the judgement of God at a community service.

The prayer that followed, offered by the local Pentecostal pastor, prayed for peace and for the coming of the Kingdom of the Son of God on earth, and concluded in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We stood in silence. We sang about the salvation of the Queen. A triune benediction was offered, and we went home.

It was great!

Any Munn, Stewart, Storey, or Arbeau could have told you that.

If you've met a Miramichier with a dip net and a flashlight, you've met a man that knows Gaspereau.
