We are so excited to be back sharing with you what wonderful encounters God has orchestrated in the last couple of months through Knock and Talk. In terms of counting, we would like to report that 44 Bible sets were distributed since March 5, 2018. Here are some highlights from those weeks.

Hello and shalom to our brethren and friends who are part of this important ministry: Knock and Talk

While you might have wondered if these were silent weeks of no action, we would like to remind you of those supposed silent years between the writing of Malachi and the first century New Testament writers. We know that God was anything but silent in those years with the development of the Septuagint and the event of Antiochus and the temple’s desecration being two important examples. These were, after all the years leading up to the Messiah’s first coming, important preparation years, for sure!

The two teams who went out each had a member who was joining the outreach for the first time. It was a blessing to have them along and they in turn said how much of a blessing it was to part of the outreach. Last Monday night, a total of ten Jewish sets were given, including one in French. We also gave out an English Bible to a Gentile home.

This past Monday evening, just after Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), we had one team of two people.  There was a slight nip in the still evening air and we noticed that we were alone on the streets.  Gone were the barking dogs and children chatting and playing which we often observed on late summer evenings. This somber atmosphere stays with us for a while as it gets darker earlier now, reminding us that time is short and our pace must be diligent and consistent.

To our dear readers and prayer warriors,

Over the course of this past summer, we have had several opportunities to go out door to door. All three groups (Montreal, Calgary, and Buffalo) have something to share. While we would love to be there for every conversation, only God is omniscient yet He gives us the privilege to be part of some of these great moments.

We often hear the expression that it’s not religion but a relationship with God that is most important.  From the start, God emphasized relationship over religion, but man turned things around. Because of the righteousness of God in us we are deemed righteous, not by works or zeal. We can never work for, or pay for this kind of gift.

Every time we climb up the steps to knock on someone’s door, we pray that these people would take their first steps by bringing the Scriptures into their home, and then by a leap of faith, receive the Word in their hearts.
