Arrived today in Halifax Nova Scotia to 0 degrees C (32 F) and 20 cm (8 in) of snow. Travel was good and after claiming luggage we hit the famous Tim Horton's coffee shop for soup, sandwich, and hot chocolate.
During the afternoon we hit the streets of a local neighborhood to distribute the Upward basketball flyers. There is nothing like going door to door bundled up like the Michelin Tire Man and promoting the new basketball league. This community seemed to have a variety of ages represented. We are going to hit some other neighborhoods in the morning as well.
We had some great lobster (5.50 per pound!!) and met for prayer with local church leaders. Praying that God will provide children for the league and that the community would begin to hear and ask questions about the Upward Basketball League. Pastor Ian was interviewd today by the local newspaper for an article to run this weekend promoting the Upward League. This is a praise that Living Hope will be getting some "free" press.
Continue to pray for our leadership training and opportunities to engage people while delivering flyers.
