While visiting Nigeria, I was told about three missionaries who came to Nigeria in the 1890s who were honored for their work in this part of Africa. I was able to share at a large Seminary for this ECWA church in Nigeria. After the chapel service I did, we took a group picture with all the students and faculty. Then I had a Holy Spirit moment… just a simple thought that all of that seminary and even the denomination itself with hundreds of churches existed because three Canadian missionaries obeyed God and came to Africa. We should never think a missions journey has no impact.

It was a privilege to join a large outreach team to minister in the prison in Ilorin, Nigeria.   We were able to bring food, medicine, footwear and most importantly, the Gospel to 150 prison inmates.   There were two translators who helped us share a message of life and hope in both the Yoruba and Hausa languages.   

The Philippines was the destination for our first ever team to go on a missions journey from our inner city church. Our first very busy weekend of ministry included 7 hours of teaching in a Bible School… Sunday AM services in two local churches, a youth gathering, some drama ministry and a Sunday night Valentine’s outreach… all in just two full days!

It was so great to be able to meet and connect with leaders of Jesus Revolution in Norway. This movement has reached many thousands of people in dozens of nations across Europe and around the world. It was also powerful to be in Oslo for 'Syttende Mai' (May 17th) which is Norway's Constitution Day where thousands parade through the streets in traditional dress. It was unforgettable!

God has opened a phenomenal door in Iceland to connections that will be our friends for life!  We did an E2E (Equipped to Evangelize) workshop where believers were given practical resources and training to share their faith.   For the first time, our materials were translated into Icelandic as we ministered in churches, rehab centres and even on the radio in this beautiful northern nation.
