And So It Begins

Hello all,

So here we are on our first couple weeks on the road, and so far its been fantastic.  In the first week on the road we have put on five retreats in four different towns, Alliston, Bradford, Scarborogh, and Whitby.  In Scarborogh be put on a retreat for an all boys school of over one hundred grade tens.  It was a very bonding experience for the team.

During the second week put on four retreats in the towns of Oshawa, Whitby, and Barrie.  During that time we began to feel more comfortable putting on retreats and speaking to teens about our Lord.

While staying in Oshawa some of the team members received the opportunity to go up flying in a cessna 170 airplane around the CN tower and along the coast of lake Ontario.  It was a bright cloudless day when this took place and it really opens your eyes to the beauty of Gods creation.

At this time we are back in Scarborogh for the next couple weeks putting on retreats for Pope John Paul 2nd high school.  So far we have just put on retreats for grade tens and they were very enthusiastic and it was an absolute joy for us to put these events on for them.  We are looking forward to our next couple of days because we will be having the grade elevens and twelves.

We feel so honoured and privileged to be doing Gods work and we can definitely see him working in the youth that we are able to work with and in the wonderful host families that we are honoured to stay with.

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving and we would like to thank you all for your continued support and prayers.



Sincerely,

Matt Bliault and the Encounter 1 team.
