Raven Internationa Training Center - Canada

I had a great couple of days up in Ontario Canada with Ed & Wanda Baker. They are the directors of Raven Ministries Canada and some very passionate people for Jesus!
.
We are excited about the starting of the Raven International Training Center - Canada that will be operating in the facility pictured. (That is Ed & Wanda in the photo with me)
.
The facility is right at 10,000 total sq ft (with basement) and will serve as a training and mentoring location where we can bring in those desiring to be equipped to fulfill the Great Commission! There is some work that needs to be done to the building to get it ready - but we are confident that the same Lord that provided the building will also be able to provide the labor and resources to get it ready for use and occupation.
.

The building is located in Lindsay, Ontario Canada. Lindsay is a town with a "bad reputation" for drugs, teenage pregnancy and other related problems--- which is exactly the type of place that we like to be!
.
Here is a picture of the main drag of Linday The area is very pictureesque and just north of Toronto and several other communities that are primed for outreach and evangelsim.
.
Toronto itself is about an hour away and provides a host of ministry opportunities to both train ministers and to reaching out to this cosmopolitian city represented by multiple cultures, languages, and religions. The Greater Toronto Metro Area is the home to nearly 6,000,000 people.
.
There is a large homeless and homosexual community in the City and drug use, gangs and other violence is prevailent in many of the inner-city areas of this beautiful gateway city perched on the banks of Lake Ontario.
.
On our night of ministry in the city, we encountered several people whose lives had suffered the effects of satan's treachery including, "JoAnne" - a transvestite working as a prostitute on Younge Street in innercity Toronto. We were able to minister to this young man and buy him something to eat before praying for him and giving Him the TRUTH.
.

The training center will also be withing close proximity to Niagra Falls, Canada. This is not only one of the most beautiful places you will ever see, but also a magnet for people from all over the world who need to hear about JESUS.
.
Please continue to pray for Ed & Wanda and all those involved in thhe Raven International Training Center - Canada > and please consider being a financial sponsor for this international evangelistic work. You can send your missions offering to:
