We are only 11 months away from moving to Toronto. We have a lot of work to accomplish and will be praying for guidance from the Lord each step of the way. There is no way we can do this without Him or His call.
Pastor Stokes and Fair Oaks Church are the inspiration and full support of this endeavor, spiritually, emotionally and financially. Fair Oaks Church will have a "mini-me" in Toronto very soon! We love and appreciate the full support of my home church. God has richly blessed us with such great support and courage from our senior pastor to move forward in missions as we are today. Pastor laid out a vision for what we are doing a couple years ago and we are a part of God fulfilling it. To get a glimpse of the great ministry of Fair Oaks Church, visit www.loundonpurpose.com and see what I am talking about. I have been privileged to be an assistant pastor there for 8 years.
Tracey and I took a trip to Toronto in June and discovered that the Burlington/Oakville area is right for our family. In an interview with a local pastor in Oakville, we discovered that the area we have selected is the 2nd fasted growing region in North America. It is topped only by Las Vegas believe it or not. We were also introduced to an Ontario church planter leader who is giving us information about legally starting a church in Ontario and moving to Canada. This was a very fruitful trip and further evidence of God's guidance in this process.
Later this week, I will add a video we took of Toronto and used in our church to encourage others to consider the call to work up there with us and to enlist those who will join us for a week in August next summer to begin this ministry. Keep us in your prayers and ask God what your part will be in this work for Him.
Roy & Tracey Dowdy
