Pastor Nathan Maskery leads the church planting team of Transformation Wesleyan Church in Thunder Bay. He wrote this week with an update…
Hey Milliken Church,
How are you? We here in Thunder Bay are very encouraged. We feel momentum in the life of our congregation. We have had 60 people in our services for seven straight Sundays!
Last Sunday my Dad visited from Atlantic Canada. He came to share his testimony of how Jesus saved him while he was in prison years ago. After the service, we served a free Thanksgiving meal to everyone. There were over 130 people here for the meal. Praise the Lord!
We have not even been open for a full year yet, and we have over 20 volunteers who want to serve in our special outreach events. One of the new challenges the Lord has helped us through was a change in our volunteer staff. Two months ago our children’s ministry director had to move away. But God was already making a new plan.
One month before that happened, I met a young lady named Hanna Alexander when I was speaking at the Newbrook Wesleyan Camp in Alberta. She recently agreed to move here, and start over, volunteering as part of our team! She will arrive here on October 19th.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and encouragement. We are excited for what God is doing and looking forward to more adventures!
