From BrethrenPedia
The majority of assemblies in Manitoba were the result of efforts of early brethren who labored under tremendous hardships. Money was scarce, but they trusted God. Traveling was difficult, mostly by horse and buggy. They pioneered where there were no assemblies; they Broke Bread where they could. Souls to them were the most important business in the world.
J. Ronald went from town to town and house to house with printed and spoken messages. Robert McClurkin spent 20 years of his life pioneering on the prairies, living in The Pas in northern Manitoba and spreading the Gospel in the mining towns of Flin, Flon, Sheridan, and others. As did the others, he had often to supply the needs of his family with manual labor.
