Berean Baptist Church

Pastor Greg Vaal
Kamloops, BC Canada

It was just a short trip to our service tonight from the church we were in last night. We enjoyed a delicious supper with Pastor Vaal, his wife, and their two adorable daughters. Before the service started, we had time to speak to many of the sweet people who graciously made an effort to come on a Tuesday night to hear us. The former pastor of the church, Bro. Horton and his wife still attend and Mrs. Horton told us many fascinating stories about her life. She was placed in a Japenese concentration camp along with the school of the China Inland Mission during World War II along with Hudson Taylor's grandchildren and was re-united with her family years after the war was ended. They were such interesting people to talk to and really had a heart to continue serving the Lord, even though he had to retire as pastor because of his failing health. We thank the Lord for the hospitality of the Vaal's and the kindness of the people at Berean Baptist. We enjoyed meeting you all and pray God's blessing on you.
