August 29: Breton & Mary Jane Murphy, Middle Stewiacke, NS
Once primarily a farming/forestry community, more people now commute to jobs in Truro or in Halifax and Dartmouth. The people are friendly and like to help their neighbours. There is a mixture of people with loyalty to their traditional church and others with little or no church background.
We try to demonstrate the change Jesus Christ makes as Lord of our lives through our involvement in community organizations like the school, fire department, and recreation center. We also try to demonstrate the genuine love of Christ to our neighbours and friends in the community.
Pray for at least one committed Godly family to move here, to join us in reaching neighbours with the Gospel. With only four families, it’s a struggle to do the work that’s needed, as finances are lacking and the workers are few. (Matt. 10:36-38)
