DOUG'S STORY
told by Doug Horst (recorded by John Butler Films)
“Go back and walk and pray 7 times around that pink dilapidated pink building.”
Doug Horst is a member of Crown Point Community Church and is a spiritual director for GOHOP (Greater Ontario House of Prayer).
Every story matters.
In different conversations that we have had, we have heard about some beautiful things that God is doing through His Church in this city. We know that hearing these stories can have a powerful impact on those who come across them, but it is too easy for these stories to be missed…
THat IS WHY WE ARE LAUNCHING THE TRUECITY STORYTELLING INITIATIVE.
We are on the lookout for stories of things that God has been up to in each of our congregations. We want to find these stories and feature them so that we can share them with others.
Our hope is that this project will be an encouragement and blessing as people hear about the different ways that God is at work in Hamilton. We know that it’s too easy for us to just rush on by and not take notice of the things that God is up to right where we live, so our hope is that this project will cause all of us to STOP and PAUSE long enough to TAKE NOTICE OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT GOD IS DOING IN OUR MIDST, as well as be OPEN to CONSIDER what God might be INVITING us into, as well.
What’s your story?
Do you have a story to share of something that God has been up to in your local congregation?
Have you witnessed an incredible answer to prayer?
Has there been an opportunity for you to come together with others to bless your neighbourhood?
Was there a need that your church was able to respond to?
If you have an idea of something that could possibly be featured on our website, we would love to hear from you.
TRUECITY IS A NETWORK OF CONGREGATIONS IN HAMILTON WHO'VE COME TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE CITY.
