Willa and I arrived in Saint-Lazare/Hudson in October 2008 from Ladysmith, BC.  We are excited to make our home and to serve God in this beautiful part of His creation. My desire is to see people follow Christ wholeheartedly and to be willing and excited to share their faith with others. I believe that for this to happen, a church needs to present relevant, life changing, clear communication that is based on the truths of the Bible in a setting that promotes inquiry, character development, and relationship building. It is essential that followers of Christ are assisted in discovering their spiritual giftedness and ministry passions and provided with opportunities for service suited to them. The church, in obedience to Christ’s command, needs also to encourage and train people to share the good news of the Gospel with others. People are seeking answers to the purpose of their existence and we need to be ready when the opportunity comes along to share what God has done for us in our lives.
