I don’t know what you know of Toronto. The TV show 30 Rock once said that Toronto is “like New York, you know, but without all the stuff.” I don’t know how true this is, but I think Toronto can hold its own. I love living here, and I’m encouraged by what’s happening.

Yesterday I attended the relaunch of [Westminster Chapel at High Park](http://www.westminsterchapel.ca/?ref=dashhouse.com). I attended the [original launch](https://dashhouse.com/2008/9/22/westminster-chapel-toronto.html?ref=dashhouse.com) of Westminster just four few years ago. Since then it’s grown to a few hundred, and they’ve now moved to a new location in the Roncesvalles area of Toronto. It’s exciting to see a new church and an old church become one, involving cooperation between two Baptist denominations in Toronto. Please pray for them. I’m excited about what lies ahead there.

In the evening I attended the induction service of Tim Strickland at [Waverley Road Baptist Church](http://www.waverleyroadbaptist.ca/?ref=dashhouse.com), a church that’s over 120 years old in a young, artistic community in eastern Toronto. In the morning I saw a church plant join forces with an older church; in the evening I saw an established church begin their next chapter with a new pastor. I’m also looking forward to seeing what happens there.

You may be aware that many of the churches that rent schools have been facing [massive increases](http://www.worldmag.com/2012/09/blatant%5Fdiscrimination?ref=dashhouse.com). It appears that there may be a [delay in the implementation of the new fees](http://www.newstalk1010.com/News/localnews/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10444159&ref=dashhouse.com). Please continue to pray that this will be resolved.

And of course, we’re [planting a church](http://www.libertygrace.ca/?ref=dashhouse.com) in Toronto, and we could certainly use your prayers.

I love this Toronto, and I’m really praying that God will use old and new churches to do a significant work. I’m encouraged by a lot of what I see. Please pray for us, or perhaps even come and join us in working for God’s glory in this great city.
