Montreal Updates

May 15, 2026 

Today was our first full day in Montreal! We have been learning and seeing so much culture. For the first half of our day we had the privilege of being toured by our knowledgeable hosts Cal and Chrissy throughout Old Montreal. We saw beautiful architecture, old banks turned into functional restaurants, art everywhere you look, and even a piece of the Berlin Wall! Our history buff Billy was thriving! It was so special for us to learn more about the past in order to understand and serve those here in the present.

Our evening was spent with Trinity Youth Group. As we entered their building, we instantly felt so welcomed by youth and leaders alike! We were able to make connections and find inspiration for new games to take home! It was a beautiful exchange as our students were able to share their testimonies about how God has worked in their lives as well as receive prayer from others their age. We were so encouraged as we were reminded that all over Canada and the world other believers are worshiping and praying to the very same God! So as you read this, I pray you feel that very same encouragement - a reminder that we have one God, head over one faith family! 

À plus! :)

This morning the whole group woke up extra early to prepare 100+ sandwiches to give to homeless in Montreal. I had never been able to do this kind of ministry before, and it really opened my eyes to ways I could be actively serving people who need it. After that, Cal and Chrissy showed us around the St. Joseph Oratory. We admired the beautiful inside and outside, and I even met a real life nun! After we finished the tour we went to La Banquise to get our first poutine in Quebec as a group! It was deliciouso! Tonight we cheered for the Canadiennes at the Bell Center! Go Habs Go!

Adieu! ;)
