Church Planting Update
Monday, February 6, 2012 at 5:00AM We have a few updates about our church plant initiative in downtown Toronto.
Location Update
One of the big decisions we're facing is finding a location for the church plant. We've been looking for downtown neighborhoods that are growing, and that don't have many vibrant churches. We've been doing research on a couple of neighborhoods that meet this criteria.
Last week we heard of a building near one of these neighborhoods that might become available. It's too soon to say much, except that this is a huge and unexpected opportunity.
Please pray about this. It looks promising, but God knows best. We're excited to see what He has in store.
On the Road
Darryl has some speaking engagements lined up:
- Thursday, February 9 - Heritage Seminary Chapel, Cambridge
- Sunday, February 19 - Chartwell Church, Oakville
- Sunday, February 26 - Southside Community Church, Milton
- Saturday, March 3 - Thistletown Baptist Church, Toronto
- Sunday, March 25 - Orangeville Baptist Church, Orangeville
Darryl's looking for other speaking engagements in Toronto area churches so he can share what's happening with the church plant. Please contact him if you know of any opportunities.
We Need Prayer
A couple of weeks ago, we experienced a really tough week. We faced some challenges that had us on our knees, and reminded us of our need for God's provision and protection.
We're okay, but we're very aware of our need for God's help and strength. Please pray for His protection over our family.
Please sign up for updates by email, and please keep praying. We appreciate it.
P.S. I can't tell you how encouraging this post was to us. We can't wait to see what God is going to do in the coming months.

Darryl & Charlene,
I found this thought helpful today. I hope it will encourage you also:
"Jesus has the ability to calm the storms that come when we follow Him".
