We Will Never Be the Same

-

This year we said goodbye to four dear team members, Kara Friesen (Admin Assist), Rachael Wiebe (SOAR Sask Coordinator), Cam Kerney (TREK Assistant) and Sarah Brown (Worship Apprentice). 

Kara Friesen has moved up one floor at the office to the Canadian Conference of MB Churches as Executive Assistant to the Director, Elton DaSilva. Though her travel schedule has more than doubled, we still enjoy her visits and exciting stories of nieces, nephews, and felines. 

Rachael's woo factor is focused on life-giving disciple-making as she pursues her love for early childhood education. 

We miss Cam's great cooking and fun-loving enthusiasm. He is sharing his love for people and encouragement by serving as an Educational Assistant at Linden Christian School. 

Sarah Brown's curious mind and love for holistic expression has attracted her back to school. Sarah's hiatus from the stage has put her in the 'student's chair'  as she becomes an occupational therapist. 

Thank you for all that you have given over the years that you served here.  We will never be the same and that's a good thing. 


New to the team...Please welcome Amanda Leighton (Admin Assist), Janelle Peddie (Registrar) and Ryan & Terri Epp (Sask Mobilizers/SOAR Sask Coordinators). 

We have a full complement of staff eager to serve partner churches of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as together we make disciples, plant churches and develop multiplying partnerships!

One of the greatest privileges we have as human beings is to know and  connect with our Creator.

Because we are His creation, God has made a way for us to be able to reach out to Him and have relationship. But, God has gone even farther than that - He also reaches out to us! This is seen most clearly through God sending His own son - Jesus, to live and walk among us humans during a unique point in history. Now, some 2000 years later, we still make a point of celebrating the story of Jesus’ birth every December. My hope is that we do not just give lip service to Jesus this Christmas season (or ever!!), but that we take time to renew our connection with Him and continue to get to know Him as our Lord and Saviour.    “see things differently, to act differently, to live differently” This past Friday I was visiting a chu...

News from Japan!        Due to formatting issues, some pictures were omitted.   Doris Goertz “ So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6 Baptism July 28, 2019 was a special day as four new believers were baptized in Amagasaki church. What a blessing it was to hear their testimonies and see them declare their faith in Jesus. My 74- year-old English student, Tsuyoshi, invited his two sons and their families to witness this special occasion in his life and they all came. Along with Tsuyoshi, three women were also baptized. As I listened to their testimonies, I was encouraged by the way that God deals with each individual very personally and draws them to himself in unique ways. Please pray that these four new church members will co...
