Going the Extra Kilometre
SUMMER PR TOUR 2014
BY REMY GUENIN, ‘86
TRAVELLING WITH THE SUMMER PR TEAM made up of four
students: Jared Morado, Rukia Sawyers, Quisa Diamante and
Spencer Page, was a trip worth taking. The team met for three
days of preparation prior to our grand adventure. Our primary
mission was a twofold ministry through service and recruitment.
Bright and early on July 20th, we packed up the KC mini-van with
as much stuff as we could fit and headed for the ferry in North
Sydney, Nova Scotia. Stopping overnight in Edmundston, New
Brunswick, we continued on our way the next morning and
arrived at the ferry Monday evening and boarded without incident. Riding the ferry overnight, we made it to Port aux Basque
in good time and continued on our journey Tuesday morning.
We arrived at our first destination, Camp Woody Acres near St.
John’s, Newfoundland, where we were able to spend some time
with the youth of NL and have a few laughs along the way. Taking part in the young adult worship services, bringing music
and skits, we were able to share the love of Jesus with the camp
meeting attendees. On Sunday, the team had the opportunity to
go whale watching, and we even saw a flock of Puffins. Monday
marked the last day of our time at Camp Woody Acres, and that
evening we boarded the boat back to the mainland. We began
this ferry ride from Argentia and endured a 15 hour trip across
to North Sydney. Tuesday afternoon we travelled to Moncton,
NB to pick up another passenger, Christina Lister, Development
Coordinator at KC, who came on board to help with the Alumni
Chapter Meeting at Pugwash, NS. The week at Pugwash flew
by. We were invited to help with a health fair initiative that was
organized by Pastor Dave Hamilton and his wife. We spent the
day at the Pictou County Wellness Centre in New Glasgow doing
health assessments and sharing information on healthful
living via the New Start program created by the Weimar Institute. On Friday we headed to Prince Edward Island where
the sand is red and the fields are full of potatoes. We spent
the day sightseeing and picking up sea shells and crabs off
the beach. After a wonderful day in PEI, we finished out the
week and shared with prospective KC students and their
families. On Sabbath, we held a Chapter Meeting that was
attended by a dozen alumni of Kingsway and Oshawa Missionary College. It was nice to reminisce and share experiences with each other. On Sunday morning we packed up
and headed back to Ontario, where our next stop was Camp
Frenda in Port Carling, =
