A Good Start to a New Year Began in Canoas
True Path Ministry and others from the Getsemani Iglesia church in Galeana NL traveled to the remove village of Canoas on January 1, 2021. It has been months since anyone has been to visit and the people were beyond excited to welcome us. It was a cool morning with some wind but that did not stop the Spirit from moving! Even the kids service outside was a fun filled time with the LORD!
There were less people than we had anticipated. We were told it is because families are not traveling due to the virus. The pastor said their village has been spared from the virus and he gave all glory to God!
Evangelist Ramiro preached an important message about the mercy of God. The kids received their gifts with huge smiles on their faces! The ladies rummaged through clothes and were thrilled to receive personal items like: soap, shampoo and towels. We were thanked by all for coming and the many blessings that God has allowed us to bestow on them. Our hearts are full!!
You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance. Psalms 65:11 (NKJV)
