Last week I wrote about being still and knowing God, knowing how and when he calls us to serve. After a period of relative inactivity and ministry, God called us to action and business. First, we picked up some of the migrant workers and drove them to a social and barbecue. We chatted, ate, and listened to a message about a good God, a great God and the God of Gods. (I was asked to translate.)
Later in the week we enjoyed meeting Marta and her husband Cleo and showing Marta some of the character of our home town; Marta was in Canada for two weeks visiting her husband who is one of the migrant workers in the area. Ministry meant picking and eating peaches in an orchard, driving by farms where Mexicans work, and getting one’s feet wet in Lake Huron. That was followed by sitting on the rocks under the Bluewater Bridge eating french fries from the truck under the bridge followed by ice cream at Ice Cream Galore store both very traditional things to do in Sarnia in the summer.
Then we became the channel of communication informing 3 other migrant workers of a Saturday evening service and the details of the trip to Niagara Falls. Marta and Aaron who are first timers to Canada looked forward eagerly to seeing the falls. Then we became chauffeurs again getting people to the service in Thedford – our second visit there in a week.
