Church Community United for Action!

Recently I visited the town of Leamington, Ontario (population of about 28,000), and spoke at a church for a two-day Answers in Genesis conference. It was attended by over 250 very excited people hungry for the truth of God’s Word!

The event was spearheaded and organized by a homeschool mom named Stephanie, who got excited about the possibility of having Answers in Genesis come to their hometown! I had met Stephanie when I accompanied my wife to a homeschool meeting about six months earlier and just happened to mention the launch of AiG–Canada happening in 2018.

Stephanie’s reaction was, “My husband loves AiG!” She quickly made a call to her husband who was very pleased to hear about the launch. As we chatted further, and I saw their enthusiasm, I suggested they have a conference in their area.

Canada vs. USA

At first it seemed like a remote possibility to have a conference in an area with a smaller population and not a lot of good-sized churches. Unlike the US (which has more than 1,300 Evangelical and other Protestant churches with more than 2,000 attendees and approximately 50 churches ranging from 10,000 to 47,000), the average church in Canada has about 70–80 attending with only 150 of what would be called mega-churches (in Canada, that would be attendance of over 1,600 people).

Well, Stephanie and her husband took our advice on how to organize a seminar even in a smaller community, and the results were wonderful. Over 250 people attended recently, and 14 churches in the area were represented throughout the weekend—all because a homeschool mom got excited about the possibility and took action!
