In Pokemouche

In Canada now at Pokemouche Camp ground. Gave PWTS to two guys last night, never go to church, never had or read Bible, never heard the gospel, never heard of Jesus. They each have heard the gospel, they have a Bible and they marked their place in John to begin reading. Pray they will understand and someone will be in their life soon to water the seeds planted. There are many more testaments that have gone out but this was rather surprising in Canada. I am finding this to be more of the norm than the exception. I gave one Bible to Leon on the tip of Miscou Isle, the farthermost point north possible (one of those ends of the earth kind of places) Leon is a believer and was very happy to receive his testament because he said God saved him from his cancer last year. I gave one to Mr. Wilson and he said he was a good Catholic when I asked if he had a personal relationship with Jesus. We got in to a good conversation and he was thankful for his Bible.
Some are not so interested in having a Bible. Mr. Landry was kind enough to allow me and Loren to launch his kayak from a point in his back yard. I offered Mr. Landry a testament and he asked what it was I clarified that it was a Bible. He refused and said, "A Bible? No! I don't believe that stuff!" Pray that Mr. Landry gets another chance because the Lord came to him today and he told him not to stay. Mr. Landry is 82 years old. Time is short.
Kobee got to give Bibles to two guys this morning we met at the campground. He also gave one to Joseph at Pokemouche Campground this evening. There is definitely an English/French language barrier here but technology crosses the boundaries and Kobee is using his DSi to catch the attention of the kids around the camps and then it opens up to him presenting them a Bible. John tried to give one to a little friend that is 6 but he couldn't understand that it was his to keep. Misty gave out several to the manager of the campground, and a family from Ottowa, Canada.
