We just got back from our Africa/Egypt trip and God has led us to settle in Ontario, Canada in a city called Mississauga. For the first few weeks, we were going through major withdrawal from our life and mission in Africa, but we knew that God would open a new door and a new calling for a Mission life here--and He did, much quicker than we expected.We both always held on to a truth that if you are a Christian than you are a missionary. There is no such thing as a Christian that does not spread God's good news and long to bring all to Christ. And so in living by that truth, we set out to find a service here that would help us reach that goal on a daily basis. God led us to the missionary church in Mississauga, St. Maximos and Demadious Coptic Orthodox church. Besides all the warm and open hearts of the servants here, we felt a need for Christ in a community that so longs for Him. We are already enjoying the fellowship and blessings of being in the company of so many people from different walks of life and various religious backgrounds, who were baptized in the Orthodox faith. It has been giving us a sense of unity of God's people--regardless of color or ethnic background, that we first felt in Zambia.
So as always, we will wait on the Lord to lead us here in Mississauga, and are sure that the same God who guided us in Africa, has big plans for our service here.
