It was great to be in Winker, MB, Canada last weekend

Last weekend I was privileged to speak at Faith Evangelical Bible Church in Winkler, Manitoba. I’ve know Mike Comtois, the Pastor, and his wife, Renee, for many years. This is my second time at their church.

This church is really growing in part because of all the immigrants from Germany who are flocking to this church. Each time I spoke (Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, Sunday morning), a translator (actually two, Julie and Helene, who took turns) would simultaneously translate what I said. I slowed down a bit. But the German listeners wore receivers with ear phones and the translator had a mic and a transmitter. So about half the audience was listening to the translator (and to me to some extent).

I really enjoyed visiting with everyone. I even learned some German while there. Sie sind wunderbar means “You are wonderful.” I said that on Sunday morning and I don’t think I butchered it too badly.

I gave 5 messages on the Book of Acts, as well as a devotional at a men’s breakfast Saturday morning on 2 Cor 5:1-11 (What’s the purpose that drives your life?).

It was hard to leave. I really enjoyed my time, Ay? (Is that how you spell, A? You know the Canadians often put A? at the end of their sentences. It’s a great life, ay?)

Increasing in Him,
