Mission and outreach takes many forms such as:There are many references to the pastor conducting worship services in Coles Island. There is a map of the Coles Island area that indicates a school and a church lot. Rather than actual building lots they may have been parcels of land set aside for the purpose of gathering a hay crop that was sold and the proceeds given for the support of the local school or church.
The picture is of the CBC Radio International broadcast towers located on the land that used to be occupied by the tiny community of Coles Island which is on the Tantamar Marsh just outside Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada.
Another example of using the sale of crops harvested to support the local work of Christian ministry was found at Mount View (Beech Hill). The members planted a bushell of potatoes and gave the proceeds to missions.
