Someone will come up to me and say, “Congratulations on your new ministry. Isn’t it wonderful out there?” My only response has been, “I’ve never been further east than Montreal, but YouTube says it’s beautiful.” 

Well, I’ve finally made it.

I’m not quite here for good just yet, but I was able to make a quick trip to meet with other regional ministers at Kingswood. I am happy to say that all of the rumours are true. The people and the landscape are all that I was told they would be.  

More than getting introduced to the region, I was blessed to see how other denominations are ministering across Atlantic Canada. These meetings helped me to see the unique role that Fellowship Atlantic plays here. I was reminded that we, the church, have been given the keys of the kingdom, and that to whom much is given, much is expected. We have and will continue to face a lot of obstacles along the way. Our culture ebbs and flows with the tide, and there are good reasons to be discouraged when we hear talk about the responsibility of ministry in light of the challenges of our time and place. However, we are not without hope. For every struggle we face, there is a solution. Christ is that solution. He is building his kingdom, and the gates of hell will not prevail. The war has been decided, so the outcome is not our responsibility. Our responsibility is to be faithful where we are and with what we have been given. The rest is up to our Lord. 

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Tim Elmore

]]> Good News! https://www.fellowshipatlantic.com/blog/post/good-news https://www.fellowshipatlantic.com/blog/post/good-news#comments Sat, 23 Mar 2024 16:00:00 -0400 https://www.fellowshipatlantic.com/blog/post/good-news Brothers and Sisters,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Supercluster this past week! 

This is a centrally important week for our churches. We will have Good Friday and Easter services. To remember and to celebrate our Saviour’s death, burial, and resurrection is indeed a high privilege. May God bless you as you minister. May hearts and lives be changed by the Good News we proclaim.

Even more important than our ministry is our worship. It is possible to say all the right things (even about the gospel) and not worship the One who saved us. To do so would be to “forget” the best news we have ever received. Paul Tripp calls it “gospel amnesia.” We must pray that does not become our reality! 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1 Peter 1:3-5)

It is also an important week because on April 1st Tim Elmore begins his responsibilities as our Regional Director.  We are very excited about this and we pray that we have a long and fruitful partnership together. WE WELCOME YOU, Tim!  You can reach him here: tim@fellowshipatlantic.com

Jonathan will continue to give you updated announcements and Tim will be taking over the regular communications for Fellowship Atlantic. That means that I (Andrew) will be stepping back from my part in these newsletters.   

May God bless you and keep you.

Andrew
