VICTORY BAPTIST CHURCH - Kemptville, Nova Scotia

We left Amherst and headed to Kemptville, Nova Scotia to be at Victory Baptist Church (Pastor Joey Ring). I have known Bro. Ring for about eight or nine years but this is the first time we have been up there. Bro. Ring has been pastoring this church for a little over three years and it is doing very well. The folks are such sweet people and they love preachers and preaching.

Two other churches joined Victory on Friday night for an old-fashioned 'singing'. People from each of the three churches sang special music as well as some congregational singing and it was a good time of worship. Then I preached Saturday night and all day on Sunday. The Lord met with us in each of the services and Bro. Ring told me last night the messages were very timely and that many of the people told him they got some help. Praise the Lord!

A big blessing was being able to see Pastor Percy Lake from Bridgewater while we were up there. Pastor Lake is a good man and he was seriously injured after from falling off a roof back in September. He suffered broken bones in his neck and back and it has been a very long process of recovering. He spent several months in the hospital and the doctors expect him to make a pretty good recovery but it will take another couple of years. Bro. Ring is Bro. Lake's son-in-law and the singing on Friday night was the first time Bro. Lake had been back to Victory Baptist Church since his accident. Some of you may know Bro. Lake - I have listed a website below for anybody who would like to keep up with his progress.

Another blessing that came from the meeting is Pastor Mark Thren from Digby invited me to preach a meeting for him in November so it looks like the Cobb's will be returning to Nova Scotia. The Lord is opening doors up in that area and we are thankful.
