Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??

Having grown up in an independent Full Gospel Church, all I ever knew was an openness to other churches. My parents embraced people on the basis of their Christian faith. Our home was a magnet for people wanting to get together for old fashioned house meetings. I was quite shocked actually when I went to the UPC Bible College in NB and was first exposed to the concept of not fellowshipping someone who didn't believer exactly as I did.

At the same time I formed a Campus Ministry at NCC and there were students who were very involved with us on campus. The highlight was a Holy Spirit Seminar we did that attracted many students. I have often wondered if there has been any ongoing outreach from NCC to the UNB.

I am still involved in Campus Evangelism but it's in Guangzhou, China. I'm going there in August to baptize students won to the Lord during the last school year. I am a strong believer that university is an excellent place to present the gospel because you're dealing with inquiring minds.

There definitely is..

For the last five years (this is sixth) that I have been in F'ton, there has been some version of Campus Ministry.. however, this year, we are revamping. We are doing outreach, but not only to the university, we want to reach out and connect with the community at large too. We're signed up to start volunteering at the soup kitchen and we have a GREAT group of students on campus.

One of our students will be attending an information meeting about the radio aspect. We're excited about that!

Thanks for the 411.

This looks like a great project.

I will pray that God will bless this outreach.

I was speaking with a student on the UNB campus who is involved with the University Alpha program, and with a Navigator's Bible study group, but wasn't aware of any UPC type presence on the campus.

I am assuming, with your involvement, that this group has something of a Oneness Pentecostal perspective? Is this group an outreach of NCC?

Well, it's good to see that Bro. Freddy hasn't shortened his services.

Anything notable to report?

I remember Bro. "Three Strikes and Your In" Dudley going to the pulpit and putting his arm around Superintendent (Doesn't believe the message) Beesley, and exhorting the young men to get behind their superintendent at District Conference.

Thanks for the link Rachel! Is this an inter-denominational fellowship?

Let me try my hand at interpreting,

(So, because all others words shrink before the magnitude of your need, "I'll pray.")


When the salmon are running heavy on a moonlit night, a jigging hook isn't good enough, you need a gill net. Prayer is a gill net.

or

Talkin' to a big problem is like jacking deer without a light. You're just shooting in the dark. Prayer is a light.

or

Answers are like fiddleheads. You have to get down on your knees to get 'em.

or

The problem is so big that flappin' your gums agin it will do about as much good as offerin' a job to a man who has already got his stamps.

or

Fancy words when the world is falling apart are about as much use as a library on the Miramichi.

or

Yappin' at a problem is like trying to loose a log jam with a short handled peavey. What you really need is a few sticks of dynamite. Prayer is dynamite.
