Hello Toronto!

I just placed myself on a list of blogs for Toronto and Ontario residents.  Thanks for taking the time to read this blog. I hope you will sign up and get to know me.  I'm coming to Toronto to start a church next summer, 2010. This is an important step for our family.  

I grew up in Windsor and have a lot of fond memories. My father pastors a church there - I loved growing up in Canada and in church. I look forward to coming to Toronto and being re-introduced to Canadian culture - especially looking forward to being near restaurants that serve good poutine, Tim Horton's and other distinctly Canadian foods. I love hockey and catch the games when I can. By the way, the Red Wings and Ducks game was great yesterday! Wish Detroit had won but enjoyed 4 1/2 hours of hockey! It was a good day, eh?

Tracey, my wife, grew up on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Her maiden name is Mac Lean and I am convinced that she is related to most of Cape Breton Island. She is a awesome cook. She grew up learning highland dances and and admitted to eating a few dinners that included haggis.  Scary, right? Better yet, several of her family and friends are crab & lobster are commercial fisherman and I get to go on the boats with them when we vacation. If you've never visited the east coast of Canada, you have to do it. Very beautiful and perfect seafood.

Above all, we look forward to reaching a community with the Gospel. We hope to confirm our location this summer so keep up in your prayers. We want to be where God would place us and establish a grewing church for His glory! We will need a lot of support and help once we get there. If we end up in your community, please let us know!

I will continue to write, hope you will continue to stay interested.

Roy & Tracey Dowdy
