Dance Music Ministry in the Great White North

Nathan Phillips Square . This was the downtown meeting point for many of the raves held in Toronto ’s industrial fringe. Every Saturday night the square would fill up with phat pant wearing, backpack toting ravers waiting for the rented shuttle buses to arrive and ferry them off to a night’s excitement. It took on a carnival atmosphere, and was transformed into a pharmaceutical marketplace, for a few hours on the weekend. One such night nearly a decade ago, I happened to be in Toronto with a bunch of my Christian friends on our way home from a concert, and we crossed the square on our way to our parked cars. Here and there, little clusters of ravers were gathered, viewing flyers by the light cast from their lighters and generally preparing for a long night out. We were asked if we wanted to buy E at least twice before leaving the square. One of my best friends turned to me as he looked at the growing crowds and said quite seriously, “ Brandon , this is your mission field.”
