While it seems then, that the vast majority of Miller’s followers were of local origin, his message was not limited to his local area—nor even to the United States. Miller preached across the border in Canada’s Eastern Townships on at least three occasions: in 1835, 1838 and 1840. He made a number of converts there and gained the support of some of the local clergy. At least five Millerite papers were published in Canada: the "Faithful Watchman"—published in Sherbrooke from January 1843; the influential "Voice of Elijah", published in Montreal from June 1843; the short-lived "Hope of the Church" in St. Thomas in 1844; "Behold, He Cometh" in Hamilton, and the "Bridegroom's Herald" in Toronto, both from mid-1844.
