A team made up of Mike and Brenda Harris, Bill and Annette Howse, Bob and Beth Taylor, and Roger and Kay Thiele will travel to Oromocto, New Brunswick, on February 21 where they will lead an interactive marriage enrichment retreat, sponsored by Hope Community Church in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The retreat is expected to reach 40 couples from across the Atlantic Coastal provinces of Canada.
The marriage enrichment retreat is the first of about a dozen mission projects First Baptist has planned in its working relationship with the New Brunswick Province and the other Atlantic Coastal provinces. The scope of these projects is broad, including not only marriage enrichment, but also VBS, a sports camp, a Bible conference, leader training, ministries with university students, construction, evangelism, senior adults, parenting, and children’s features. Also, the projects are age-inclusive, using the full age span of First Baptist members from high school students to senior adults.
Please pray for the marriage enrichment team as they lead the event that inaugurates First Baptist’s mission work in Canada for 2008. Trust God to bring them together with couples whose marriages have become distant or are in danger of collapse. Please pray also for FBC’s expanding ministry with and among the churches and people of New Brunswick and the other Atlantic Coastal provinces of Canada.
