I, along with 4 siblings, grew up in Arctic Canada. In particular, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories was the far-north town that I, Tammy, and Josh called home for many years.
My Dad was a pastor of a church in that town.
Eventually, the small church building was sold, siblings moved out, and I and my parents moved away.
Since those days, I haven't met anyone who is from Yellowknife or anyone who knew anyone from Yellowknife, so I was shocked the other day when, at church, the music director told me that he is giving online lessons to a couple who live in Yellowknife. Wow!!
I asked him if they are Christians. He said that they are, and that they attend a Baptist church called Central Arctic Baptist Church. I visited their website, and they seem to be a faithful group of people who love God and stand on the truth.
I praise the Lord for keeping a witness in a dark place! I praise the Lord for allowing me to hear about this church that is being a witness for Christ in the small, icy town of my boyhood.
