NCEM EF Christmas Party

It's always nice to get together with our colleagues! This year we gathered with many of our ministry colleagues and invited the ANBC advisory team families to join us as well!

Gotta love a pot-luck. 

And of course the "White Elephant" gift exchange. 

It was great fellowship!

Chipman Christmas Parade

It was a pleasure to be able to take part in the Chipman Christmas Parade this year with all three of ANBC's vehicles. We distributed Gospel DVD's, Bibles and Gospel Literature. It was also great to be able to partner with Chipman Forest Avenue School to collect non perishable foods for the Chipman Community Care.

Some of the Hubick family and all of the Strout family joined us as we distributed Gospel materials. Grant drove the #CampTruck

Ed Small drove #BigBlueVan pulling the High School float while students from the school collected non perishables for the food bank.

Kyle drove #MiniVan.

Christmas Craft Market

The Christmas Craft market is a fundraising project that we run every November. This year the proceeds went toward the purchase of round tables for our dining room. We have found a set of tables that we will be able to purchase second hand for a fantastic price in August of 2018. The Craft Market was a wonderful success again this year!

Christian Camping International Canada Conference

CCI holds an annual conference for Bible Camps to meet and look at issues facing Bible Camping in Canada. It's always a great opportunity to get together and discuss important topics, but also to fellowship with other camp folks and learn together. This year the conference was held in Guelph, Ontario.

Always great to hang out with these guys. 

Some camp dudes from the "Far East" 

Enjoyed some entertainment too!

Parkers Cove Baptist Church

We have been blessed to be able to take part in the Parkers Cove Baptist Church Mission Conference. It was an even greater blessing to be able to be present there with the Hubick family as they shared of their ministry as well. It was a blessing to share about our ministry and open the Word with folks on Sunday morning.

The Hubicks ministered in song! 

Kyle shared about his internship with us at Arrowhead.

Fall Work Week

It is only by the hard work of our volunteers that we see so much accomplished at ANBC to care for our property and grounds. We are always immensely blessed by those who come to serve the Lord with us in this way. 

Got some fresh stain on "The Nest Chalet" 

We love it when young folks come out! 

This man has been such a huge blessing to Arrowhead, he comes every year and services all of our vehicles and small engines. He is humble and wants no recognition, but his servants heart is a treasure! 

Our buddy Matt got sticky feet on this one!

Circle Summit 2017

This years Circle Summit was a fantastic conference; loaded with great fellowship and excellent teaching. If you missed it, you missed a wonderful time. We enjoyed sessions dealing with "Hurdles" that can exist in cross-cultural ministry.

At Arrowhead it is our hearts desire to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly and fully proclaimed to the First Nations people of Atlantic Canada. In the book of Matthew the great commission was given to the local church, as Christians we have a burning desire to see the gospel communicated and to see people come to repentance and faith in the God of all creation. There are so many things that can complicate the effective communication of God’s Truth, that it is not only worth our while; but an exercise in obedience to examine just how we can ensure that when we proclaim the gospel, that it is being understood clearly.

It is our desire for the Circle Summit is that it will give us an opportunity to examine just what is involved in obeying the great commission in a cross cultural setting, and doing so in a way that is as glorifying to God as it is effective.

We were joined by a number of speakers who walked with us through some vital discussions, and challenged us to consider just how we might be most effective and faithful to the Great Commission, locally; cross-culturally!
