  • Work Photos!

    Here are a few photos from Wednesday's work day. More are located in the photo section!









    Please remember to pray for the team, we will be leaving Friday morning to travel home. We are stopping by Niagara Falls on the way to our destination in Pennsylvania. Saturday we will finish off the trip and arrive in Laurinburg in the evening. We would like to thank everyone who has prayed for us and encouraged us along the way. It has been an awesome trip. Thank you all!

  • Thank you all for your patience, the team has been very busy lately, and there has been little time to write anything.

    Since the last post, we spent the last two days distributing packets and performing service projects. Wednesday we worked with people in the church on different service projects in the local area. Some teams helped clean yards, some painted, some demolished sheds, and some even helped work in an Indian restaurant in Milton. Sometimes we as Christians need to focus on ministering to other Christians, and today was one of those days for the team. We enjoyed helping out, and we all worked hard throughout the day.

    Thursday we will be passing out fliers for the "Party in the Park" that we will be putting on in the evening. We will be performing some drama and working with the children in a local neighborhood. There will be many chances for the team to share Christ with the people who show up, so please pray for us as we represent Christ and share the Gospel with them.

    Some pictures of the trip are below. More are located here, in the photo section of the blog. Check back later for more pictures as they are uploaded.

    Thank you for all of the prayers and encouragements we've received so far. The team greatly appreciates it!

  • Hello friends! Our first two days here have been a blessing for the whole team. Sunday morning we participated in the church service at The Sanctuary. This is the local church we are serving with this week in the Milton area. The team will be working to help spread the word about the church to the local area since they have moved into a new building for worship on Sundays. We will be helping them in service projects as well as canvasing the local neighborhoods with literature about the church that has moved so that they will be invited to attend and plugged into a body of believers. In the evening on Sunday we had an awesome prayer meeting and spent time preparing the packets that we will be passing out to the neighborhoods this week.

    Today we spent the whole day passing out some of the packets we prepared. We gave out almost 2,500 packets in the neighborhoods around Milton. It was great to see all of the young people and adults walking to houses, and in some cases, talking to the people in the neighborhood that were out and about. The weather was somewhat rainy, but the rain held off as we walked around, and it helped keep the heat down. Praise the Lord for an awesome weekend and a great start to our week of service with Mike and Patty Hampton, the missionaries we are working with.

    Thank you for all your prayers as we continue our mission here in Canada! We have photos for you in the photo section of this blog. Some photos will also be posted in the main blog posts, but there are a good number of pictures, so we encourage you visit the photo section to see them all!

  • Hello from Canada!

    The team finally made it to Brampton this afternoon, after a long trip that included a rocky start. Praise the Lord that the van is in good working order once more. We've settled in to our hotel, which will be our home for the week.

    There is not too much to report this time around. We spent the afternoon practicing for the drama and song we will be using in the church service Sunday morning at the church we are working with. We met with the missionaries and the church pastor and his wife for a small introduction session after dinner. Sunday afternoon will be spent in preparation for the week ahead as we take on the challenges that lie ahead.

    Our group would like to thank everyone at home who is praying for us as we are away. The love and support we have been shown has encouraged us all as we take the Good News of Christ to the people in the Toronto area. Thank you all!

    We will keep you updated throughout the week on this blog. Check back whenever you can to read about our adventures and stories!

  • Welcome!

    Welcome to the blog for the Stewartsville Baptist Church mission trip to Canada! We will be using this site as a way to keep all of you updated on what we are doing during the week. It will be a good way for people to keep up with the team as we share Christ with the Muslim population in the Toronto area.

    For anyone who may not know us, we are a team of Christians from Stewartsville Baptist Church in Laurinburg, NC. The team is made up of families and single participants who have a strong desire to see the Great Commission put into action in the world. We are leaving on July 9th for the Toronto area in Canada. While we are there, we expect to hand out packets containing a multi-language version of the Jesus DVD and other information, including a Gospel tract, information on the local church we are serving, and invitations to the block party we will be hosting for local residents. We will also be participating in service projects, as well as personal witnessing to people in the community. More information on these activitiies will be updated on a regular basis.

    We will be sharing photos and news throughout the week, as often as possible. Our church has been very supportive of the team, and we would like you all to experience what we are experiencing. Thank you for your prayers and support. We all appreciate everything the church has done to support us. Remember to keep praying for us, every prayer is necessary and helpful. Also, keep checking back here because when we have time we will be updating this site, so stay tuned!

    In Christ,

    The Canada Mission Team
