Adventures in the North!


We arrived in Cochrane safe and sound around 7:00. We are staying at the North Adventure in. A fine establishment as you can see below ;-)


We had dinner at the train station and are now getting ready for a good nights rest for our train ride tomorrow. We met up with the group of four from Montreal in North Bay. The photo below is us including the Montreal team in Cochrane before a team meeting.


The names of the Montreal team are Maya, Claudia, Sophia, and Sabrina. They are great folks and have already integrated into our group. Also, please pray for Josh, who is traveling back to Montreal Sunday. He drove the Montreal team to Cochrane.


A very providential thing happened tonight. Larry Armstrong and myself were standing by the vans at the train station just talking. We noticed a light on in the train station and decided to see if we could get our train tickets tonight. So we went in and not only were able to get our train tickets tonight, but all of our baggage tags. That way tomorrow morning we just need to unload the vans and load the luggage into the train baggage car. This is a blessing because the clerk at the train station said there are over 400 people going to be on the train tomorrow! He said if we waited til tomorrow to get our tickets it might have taken a very long time. The Lord is graceous, even in the small things!

We'll arrive in Moose Factory around 4:00 tomorrow. We should have internet at the church, I will try to shoot out a quick email and facebook post of our arrival.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

  1. Great to hear from you! God's providence is awe-inspiring always, but I know from experience the value in what he provided tonight. Praise him! Wow, that would have been rough!

  2. I totally agree with Kevin's & Eddie's observation, having been there a couple times, the confusion that happens in the morning would (and still will be) total mayhem! They will have to add several cars to the usual 3 or 4. Praying for an uneventful ride, both on the train and the boats.
