Once I tore myself away from Antigonish, I headed up to scout out the area from Antigonish to Cape George to Sutherlands River. I mostly found good accesses, beautiful scenery, but few if any evangelical churches. During a late lunch in New Glasgow, I was able to connect with the pastor of Munroe Avenue Baptist Church at the A&W restaurant. It was nice to have restaurant food for the first time in a week, as well as to find an enthusiastic supporter for next year’s PrayerPaddle continuation.
I reluctantly decided to take the Trans-Canada to New Brunswick instead of looking more along the coast, since I knew that it was getting late. When I got to Shediac, I went on a quest to figure out where the French “Brethren” Salle de l’Evangile was. Just as I was about to give up, I found the church. There was someone mowing the grass who was a member. I shared with him about what I’d been doing and concerns for a return to Biblical Christianity along the North Shore.
Continuing on, I had one more stop to make. I’d hoped to be able to meet up with Ron Burning, who was arriving into Rexton this evening to begin the week of outreach at Elsibogtog reserve. After failing to get ahold of him though, I still stopped for a sandwich at Tim Horton’s and visited a bit with Raymond Vautour. I didn’t manage to make it to Bathurst before dark, but followed another car through the “moosey” sections. Finally I pulled into the driveway at 10:35 pm, after being away for nearly five weeks. I intend to spend the next few days making some more phone calls, catching up on the blog, reading, and resting. Well, at least I’ll try to rest a bit. I’ll probably move to about once a week blogs now that the PrayerPaddle is basically completed for this year. May God bless my little offering of faith and prayer. And keep working on me to conform closer to His Word in so many areas where I know I fall short.
