FIRST KNOWN CONVICTION OF THOUGHT CRIME IN MODERN BRITISH HISTORY
(Friday Church News Notes, October 25, 2024, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from “Court Delivers,” The European Conservative, Oct. 16, 2024: “An army veteran has today been convicted for praying silently near an abortion clinic. Adam Smith-Connor, who served in Afghanistan, was prosecuted for breaching a ban on protests within a buffer zone around a clinic in Bournemouth, Dorset, in November 2022. His head was bowed and hands were clasped as he prayed for his unborn son Jacob, whom he now regrets aborting more than two decades ago. Reporting on the case, the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) legal advocacy group said the conviction was ‘the first known conviction of a thoughtcrimein modern British history.’ It added that Smith-Connor must now pay £9,000 (€10,770) in legal costs to the prosecution, just for praying in his head for three minutes. ... The news comes as Keir Starmer’s Labour government is considering rolling out a ban on silent prayer outside abortion clinics. Ahead of the ruling, Lois McLatchie Miller, who is communications officer at ADF UK, described the case as ‘era-defining,’ adding: ‘Either you can be tried and convicted for the beliefs you hold in your head, or you can’t.’ It turns out that you can.” [CONCLUSION: Smith-Connor was convicted for praying in a restricted place. The British government will answer to God for legalizing the murder of unborn children and for restricting the protest of those who are opposed to it. The man’s prayers for his dead son are unscriptural and ineffectual. He needs to be born again by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ and to learn the sound doctrine of Scripture.]
IRISH TEACHER SENT BACK TO PRISON FOR REFUSING TO BOW TO TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY (Friday Church News Notes, October 25, 2024, www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from “Irish Teacher,” Standing for Freedom, Oct. 17, 2024: “Irish schoolteacher Enoch Burke is one of many Christians who face persecution in Europe, in this case the Republic of Ireland, because he will not go along with the woke and trans mafia, which has been waging a full global propaganda campaign in the name of gender ideology. Going back to 2022 ... Burke was suspended and fired from his teaching job. He was issued a restraining order by the court barring him from entrance into Wilson’s Hospital School in Westmeath, Ireland. He was told his mere presence was ‘stressful’ and posed a public health and safety risk for children. What was his crime? Was Enoch Burke some kind of child predator or a deviant, one that needed to be imprisoned and kept away from children? No, Burke did something far worse than that by today’s moral standards. He refused to comply with the new rules of transgender ideology, refusing to play into the confusion by addressing his students by their preferred pronouns or using their chosen trans names. Instead, he committed the greatest sin imaginable: He has repeatedly told the truth. He even committed acts of blasphemy--again, today’s standards of blasphemy--by invoking Christian truth claims on gender and sexuality. Burke has already been fined over €250,000 ($271,164) so far and has spent over 400 days in jail. Just last week, a High Court judge ordered him back to jail, in his words, ‘with great reluctance,’ because Burke refuses to comply with the original court order that prohibits him access to Wilson’s Hospital School’s campus.”

Friend, in this great hour of uncertainty in our world, we have the sure Word of God that helps us make sense of things! We would encourage you to come to any of our services and allow God to speak to you through His Word! Know for certain that you are saved and on your way to heaven!
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:13
Our Pastor, Wayne Boadway has lived in Guelph since moving here in 2001. Prior to starting the Royal City Baptist Church, he taught high school in the Waterloo region. Pastor Boadway studied in the local Bible institute of his sending church (Northside Baptist Church) and was ordained to the Gospel ministry in November 2000. He is married to his wife Laurie and has three married children and eleven grandchildren. All three children and their spouses are saved and love the Lord and are serving Him in local churches.
In August of 2000, believing it was God's will, Pastor Boadway and his family along with Dr. and Mrs. William Hiltz and several other believers started the Royal City Baptist Church.
In 2004, 4 years to the day of the first services, the building and land that presently house the Royal City Baptist Church was purchased.
Since then, God has blessed in many ways and the church has grown to over 100 people meeting on Sunday.
Missions we know from the Bible is the heartbeat of God. In Luke 19:10, Jesus said,
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Just before Christ was received back up into the glories of heaven, He left His disciples and (us, the church), with the commission to reach a lost and dying world! Jesus said,
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
And so, it is our commission to reach this world through our witness here in our own communities, while at the same time, reaching the uttermost part of the earth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! And this we do as a local church through supporting missionary efforts around the world!
God has allowed us to have a part in the ministries of 34 missionary families in many countries around the world.

Prayer Letter
March-April 2024
Dear Praying Friends,
Thank you for your faithful prayer and financial support! I would also like to thank you for your time! Time in working your jobs so you can support missions. Time in reaching out to us. Time in reading these prayer letters. May God bless you as you give! Thank you so much!
Outreach
We have been busy with door to door evangelism. This has been a huge blessing both in being rewarded for being obedient, but also in being able to connect with the folks in our village. I am so blessed to have a wife that loves going soul winning and we enjoy going out together. This strengthens us and encourages us as we see the Lord work and trust Him together and experience these times together. Brenda’s dad is a soul winner and He has trained his children, as well as many others. This was her heartbeat growing up and was a passion God gave me the very week I got saved! Please pray for a breakthrough in souls getting saved and that we may have boldness. We desire to reach out into the surrounding Mennonite colonies and we need a lot of wisdom, courage, and boldness. Reaching out to these people is like being surrounded by the Pharisees of Jesus’ day.
Church Plant
We have seen many visitors come out since the start of Bädhus Baptist Kjoakj (directly translated as, Prayer House Baptist Church). One couple came as a result of our door to door evangelism and many have since come because of this couple inviting their family and friends. We also have some coming on a more consistent basis. We have been having services Sunday morning and evening and Thursday nights. I am preaching through John on Sunday mornings, Romans on Sunday nights, and through a discipleship course on Thursday nights. Please pray for an upcoming Mother’s Day event on May 28, 2024. This will be the first special meeting for ladies.

Family
We celebrated Ember’s second birthday in April! Jairett got his Bolivian birth certificate, identification card and passport in April and we have applied for his Canadian citizenship certificate and passport. Brenda and I also got our Bolivian drivers license. We have been busy with the care of the church services, Spanish studies, school, gardening, and small projects like building a wash line that Brenda is loving. Next I plan to build her a nice garden trellis.
Vehicle
We are so excited to announce that God provided the funds and we were able to purchase a vehicle. We purchased a 2015 Nissan Patrol Y62. This is perfect for our family and for the road conditions here. This vehicle has four low, four high, auto, and differential lock options along with sand, rock, and hill decent. modes.
There is also a snow mode, just in case ! . These are very reliable, Japanese built vehicles with extra cold air conditioning and it has a built in cooler for drinks. We are so thankful to God and those who gave to make this possible. We had a special time as a family as we all climbed in together for the first time and had a time of prayer and dedicated the vehicle to God. The children witnessed God providing and learned that all things come from God and all things must be given by His hand! Thank you for praying and giving!
Surprise!
We were pleasantly surprised one morning in March by a lady at the gate with a package of cards and small gifts from some friends at Pembina Valley Baptist Church in Winkler, Manitoba where we lived and attended before we moved to Bolivia. This was extra special because Bolivia is a no-mail country. A friend in the church learned of a family member that was coming here for a visit and got the word out and put together a package for our family. The children were especially excited because they know that we cannot receive mail. This was a wonderful expression of love from folks that are holding us up in prayer.
Also, I was encouraged by a surprise visit from Dan Derksen, the owner of Beaver Powerline, a company that I once worked for. This was a special place and time in my life. Through this company I heard the Gospel for the first time and received Jesus as my Saviour. I received a phone call from him and He was asking where I lived. As I was explaining he said I will be there soon. He was staying at the hotel next to us and in a few minutes was at our house. This all made sense afterwards as we had friends, who are related to Dan and part owners of the company, asking us very specifically where we lived a few weeks before.
Literature
We had 500 Gospel tracts printed and have been using them during our door to door evangelism. This also helps to let people know where and when we are meeting and gives people the opportunity to hear a word for word audio of the Gospel tract on our church website. I have also drafted up a sign that I am looking at getting made shortly. This will help the community and surrounding communities know that we exist because we are located at the local bakery, restaurant, ice cream shop, and clothing store where everyone goes. Please pray for fruit!
