Grace & Peace Presbyterian Church
2009 Summer Missions Trip
to
Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
Transforming the city with the Gospel!!
- we partnered with an international church planting movement without having to learn another language!
- we joined in reaching the frontier of Church Planting for the PCA
- by His grace, we did all that and more in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada!!!
YES! the PCA exists in Canada!
They are small, but have lots of territory to cover. Lethbridge is a city just a 1½ hr north of Montana located just east of the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Canada. A city of ~85,000 that is known for its beautiful sunshine, yet many people live in the darkness. Lethbridge a city that once was called “Deathbridge” for its high rate per capita of suicides in all of Canada is a broken city in need of the gospel.
Our mission team
was involved in:
- Kids Summer Camps – partnering with a city ministry that helps the poor and rejected of Lethbridge
- Kids Sports Camps – gave kids who don’t have the money or the opportunity to participate in a week of sports while showing and sharing with them the love of Christ.
- Helped with the annual Outreach BBQ and Worship Service
- Helping to reach Lethbridge for the Gospel by assisting PCA church Westminster Chapel and Church Planters Rohan and Rebecca Crown for a church plant launch this fall through Prayer Walking, door to door questionnaires, and getting the word out about the church plant.
- One Homeless Night – Groups experienced first hand what it is like to spend time as a homeless person and at the same time heightened their awareness with regards to the issue of homelessness.
