1978 – Barry Bowater

Barry describes an experience in Ottawa where he shared his faith with one of the members of parliament:

In 1978, I went to the Confederation Building in Ottawa for a meeting with my member of Parliament. I told him, “I came primarily to encourage you as an elected leader. I want to thank you for your service and for being a member of parliament, and I’d like to share a bit about my faith.” So I shared my testimony. He said “Can you stop for a second? I’d like to bring my daughter in, who is in the other office.” I said sure, and then he asked me to share with her what I shared with him.

I went through the whole thing again. What was supposed to be a fifteen-minute interview had turned into an hour and a half meeting. I was praising the Lord that this guy was wide open to faith. As I walked down the front steps of the Confederation Building, I knew that the Lord was calling me to Ottawa. It was like He put his Hand on me and said “You’re coming back here. At the appropriate time. You’re going to have a ministry to these people.”
