WBC is HErE!!!
A team from my church is here this week!!! It`s so cool to get to minister with people that I love so much and have known for quite some time and it is a sense of home for me, here in Montreal. I don`t have a lot of time this morning to write, but I wanted to talk about some encouraging things that have been happening here....
Wednesday we went to the same park that we were at last week. It was great to get to see the kids again. As we were rounding up the kids for the program, the mother of the two muslim boys that came to trust Jesus last week approached me. I was not sure what was in store for me. But she said, `Thank you guys and thank you for the group because my boys have been reading the Bible all week long.` She also asked if I could tell her boys not to hit each other because they listened.... How amazing is that? God works through people to share with muslim kids, the come to trust in Him, and then their parents are thankful, even though it is contrary to their beliefs in Islam. They said that they were on page 64 in the little New Testament, which means that they are in Mark 8 or 9. In one week, these little kids read through all of Matthew and part of Mark. Praise God for that.
Yesterday afternoon was the first day that the group was really out on the streets. It was good for them and for me. We had some really meaningful conversations and the group got to move out of their comfort zone. This is a group of all adults by the way, not teens. These adults have done so much thus far; it is a real testimony to God. I had the privilege of leading a guy named Dave to the Lord yesterday. Praise God that He uses us like that. Dave lives near me and wants to start going to church and wants to start reading the Bible. So, please pray for Dave.
Last night, we went down closer to the gay village here in Montreal because the outgames are going on right now, which is a huge gay festival and actual sports going on as well. Please pray that the outgames would be a time where people would come out of their sin and realize that Jesus loves them and died just for them. May the love of God submerge and abound over the wickedness that this city is taking part in so generously. May God have mercy on the people here and may He turn the hearts of many.
Today, we go out on the streets again. Pray that God has favor on us and allows us to minister well and to expect that He is going to do far and abudantly more than we could ever ask.
Loved by God.
Dwight

Hi Dwight, Have some trouble getting my note in the right place. You must be pleased to have your friends from WBC there with you to work. So glad to hear that you are seeing people get saved. What a wonderful experience for you. You are very special to us. It is great to have people listen to the gospel and want to accept the Lord Jesus as their Savior. Keep up the good work. We miss you and will be glad to see you the end of August. Love, Nana and Grandpa

Dwight,
I wouldn't want the "Deer Tracker" to worry whether or not the "Blogger Junkie" is still arising in the wee hours of the morning to check the site. Rest assured, I have not given up, I still check it often throughout the day, even when I arise in the AM which is much earlier that the "Montreal Groups" are used to arising. Anyway, things sound very encouraging for the team this week and am praying fervently each day for lives to be changed. I think I am praying a "little more often" seeing as my whole immediate family is sharing the week in Montreal. Can't wait to hear more exciting things from the week. Keep on sharing and I'm praying that the rest of the weekend will be GREAT and that more souls will be added to The Kingdom!
Love,
Mom

Hey Dwight!
It is so great to hear that you and the WBC group are doing well. I wish I could have been a part of the group, but I know God had better plans for me this week. I can't wait til you all get back and tell all your stories. I am praying for you all. I know that God is working a ton in everyones lives, not to mention the lives of the people you are meeting. Praise God!

Dwight, Glad to hear that the team from your church is there right now. That has to be really great. I hope you really enjoy the time ministering with them. That is really exciting to hear, too, about the two muslim boys...praise the Lord that they are truly seeking Him by reading His word...amazing, that's what our God is, eh? :) Well, I'll keep praying for you and Tony and the ministry up there. Have a great week, sir! ~Nichole
