]]> Comment on No Longer Slaves But Friends by Pastor Greg Dermody http://www.sea2sea.ca/mike/2011/10/no-longer-slaves-but-friends/comment-page-1/#comment-568 Pastor Greg Dermody Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:01:03 +0000 http://www.sea2sea.ca/mike/?p=400#comment-568 Hi Mike Good post! My first year at CBC in REgina (a way back in '84) I decided to go to one of the adult Sunday School classes at Hillsdale Alliance. (was optional for students and many didn't attend). I took a class on the church, and I think it was the 2nd or 3rd week that I realized the older gentleman teaching the class was the man who wrote the book we were using! then I found out he was a CTS professor. I never had a seminary class from Dr. Stoesz, but really enjoyed his Sunday School class. I had him stop in my first church in Manitoba to do an elder's training session and he stayed at our house. Precious memories. God bless you as your mourn this loss and celebrate His homecoming! Hi Mike

When talking to the pastors in Guinea, and to the international workers, I heard their heart for "their people" and heard the same kind of concerns that I have for my congregation here in northern Alberta. They were concerned that their congregation were not willing to reach cross-culturally in their country. They were concerned that youth growing up in the church were not embracing the life of holiness. They were concerned that people were so busy with their own pursuits that they were forgetting eternal perspective. Those are the same concerns that I have. From my perspective, their struggle is more difficult than mine, because of fewer resources at their disposal, how few believers there are in relation to the overall population, and often having to be involved in some sort of "tent making" venture because they are not fully supported. Having heard their heart, I now feel closer to them, and know even better how to pray for them. We are not very much different from each other. Mike:
