New Hope Baptist Church

Tillsonburg, Ontario
Pastor John Friesen


After being treated to lunch prepared by Mr. Gan, a native of Maylasia and member of one of the churches in Ontario, we continued on to the city of Hamilton. Thank you, Bro. Gan, for your hospitality and generosity!

We arrived at the home of Pastor and Mrs. Friesen, where we enjoyed a delicious home cooked dinner and a time to get acquainted with them before heading off for the service. It was such a blessing to meet several of the Friesens' children and grandchildren who are serving in their ministry. We were also encouraged to meet many families who are excited about reaching others and following the leading of their pastor. Brother Swain preached a message from Philippians 3 challenging us to "apprehend" what God has for us to do.








After enjoying a time of fellowship with the church family, we spent the night in the homes of Pastor and Mrs. Friesen, Ben and Becky (their daughter and son-in-law), and the McSwiggen family. Thank you all for making us feel so welcome in your church and homes!

Oh, those home cooked meals are great. I see you guys have been blessed that way so far this summer. I have 1 more chemo treatment in this round, and 2 days left in the interm-Amen
