A few years ago, a church in Halifax put out over 1000 flyers for a neighbourhood cleanup.
It’s part of their parish approach – to help the neighbourhood be a great community and so they invite their neighbours to join them.
A family new to Canada saw the flyer and came along to pick up trash with the church folks.
Miro – the pastor – found out out that the man enjoyed running so they began running together – just talking and getting to know each other.
One day, the man said “I am curious about Christianity.”
This curiosity grew into confidence as Miro studied the Bible with him.
Last year, he declared that he was ready to become a Christian.
Then just a few months ago, on the sandy shores of Kearney Lake, he was baptized.
Welcome to the family of God!
God is good.
