This past Saturday May 16th, The Cross Current came together for another ground-breaking and life changing event: The 2009 Xstream Team Mission (XTM) Toronto! We praise God that He graciously gave us favour as we hosted one of the world’s most multi-cultural cities to almost twelve hours of fun-filled, power-packed Gospel outreach!
Here was our itinerary for the local mission trip:
8:00am | Met at Cory’s house for team worship, prayer, and briefing
9:30am – 12:30pm | Traveled to downtown Toronto together in Trent’s twelve passenger van (thanks Trent!)
12:30pm – 2:30pm | Witnessing one-to-one and prayer at the crazy corner of Yonge-Dundas
2:30pm – 4:00pm | Took a lunch break during “rain delay”
4:00pm – 9:00pm | More witnessing one-to-one and prayer at the crazy corner of Yonge-Dundas
9:00pm | Team “take a knee” prayer at the crazy corner of Yonge-Dundas
9:30pm – 11:30pm | Shared a meal together in Mississauga
11:30pm – 2:00am | Traveled back to London
Do you know that there are over 100 languages spoken in Toronto and virtually every type of false religion is practiced? This past Saturday the Lord allowed us to preach His precious Gospel to dozens and dozens of Atheists, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Scientologists, New Agers, and Roman Catholics – just to name a few! We also passed Gospel tracts to thousands more and prayed for several too.
Special thanks to: Mike Vinson of Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville for partnering with us to represent for this event and all those who committing to praying for our time in Toronto. Praise God that He’s brought us all together to keep the Cross current in our culture!
Our next XTM event is scheduled for the Freedom Festival in Windsor, Ontario on Saturday, June 27th. This will be our very first local missions trip to Windsor, so please pray in advance for God’s favour on our time there and for Him to help us develop strong partner church relationships for this event.
