Habitation and Maranatha

This weekend we had the privilege of presenting the ministries of NCEM and Arrowhead Native Bible Center at two different churches in Nova Scotia. Sunday morning we were blessed to be able to share at Lizs' home church in Port Royal, Habitation Baptist Church. It was encouraging to be able to be there, we were given a large amount of time to update on the mission and some of the new programs and exciting changes at ANBC.

As soon as the morning service was over in Port Royal, we had to hit the road. Bound for New Glasgow, we 'picnicked' on the road and arrived in time to set up our table and prepare for the evening service at Maranatha Bible Church (formerly Munroe Avenue Baptist Church). This was the first visit the church had from an NCEM missionary, so we were excited to introduce ourselves and the ministries of NCEM and ANBC. Our friends Rick and Emily Mitton have been serving at Arrowhead for five summers and are now serving in ministry at Maranatha Bible Church, with Pastor Rick serving as Associate Pastor.

After the evening service we enjoyed a meal and fellowship with Rick and Emily and headed home to Cumberland Bay at about 9pm. Unfortunately it had started to snow, and our journey over Mount Thom (those of you who know... know) was less than enjoyable. After we passed through the Cobequid pass it was much smoother sailing and we landed home about 1:30am. It was a busy day, but it was a wonderful encouragement and blessing to be with everyone and see their excitement in the ministry as well.
