It was a privilege to have Pastor Anita share with us on Sunday. For as long as I’ve known Pastor Anita, she has always stood out to me as an intercessor and prayer warrior. I think her message highlighted that well. Pastor Anita has prayed all over Asia, including in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and beyond. She’s prayed in a Pagoda in China, in Chinatown in Singapore, and at a prayer mountain in Korea. And all that since 2021! While…

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. A branch can’t produce fruit by itself, but must remain in the vine. Likewise, you can’t produce fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches.” – John 15:4-5 We enter the month of November this week. That means we’re already nearing the end of the year and preparing to close out 2024. I’m not sure about you, but for me 2024 flew by. Whenever the…

Over the past couple of months, we’ve heard much about the kingdom of God. It was part of the training that we hosted with Donna, and a few weeks ago I had a chance to speak on the topic of the upside-down kingdom. The kingdom of God has also been mentioned in many of the messages we’ve heard over the summer. But what is the kingdom of God? I think all of us have a sense of what the kingdom of…

He said to me, “My grace is enough for you, because power is made perfect in weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9 When I was in my twenties, my favourite movie series was Marvel’s The Avengers. I remember the first Avengers movie being released around the time I got married, and I think that year I watched the movie at least three or four times! By the end of the series, they had introduced a megavillian named Thanos. Thanos was such a…

Happy Thanksgiving! During this Thanksgiving weekend, we think of all the things and people we are thankful for in our lives. As a church family, we are truly blessed with so many good things, but most importantly, we recognize that we have a person to be thankful to. God is the source of all the good in our lives, and I encourage you to take a moment this week to express your thanks to God. If you can, express your thanks…

We had the pleasure of having Lyndon and Patrice join us and speak last Sunday. Some of you may remember Lyndon from his visit in September 2021 as part of a team that was cycling across Canada to raise money to construct wells. As a result of that visit, we felt God calling us as a church to raise money to construct seven wells in Africa. Patrice is the overseer of the well construction project in Benin, where our seven…

“We have access by faith into this grace in which we stand through him, and we boast in the hope of God’s glory. 3 But not only that! We even take pride in our problems, because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope. 5 This hope doesn’t put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”…

I’d like to thank Adib for coming and speaking this past Sunday, as well as Shawn who shared about the Jesus Network and its work. Some of you may remember Adib from his visit last November. Adib was born in Afghanistan, and became Christian in 2005 where he joined an underground church. The church was discovered in 2008, and Adib was forced to flee to India because of the danger he was in. It was there that Adib joined and…

Last weekend, my family had an opportunity to join MLCF for their Sunday Celebration. We had a great time with the church family in Mississauga worshipping together. From beginning to end, it was clear that the presence of God was with us. We shared words from God for the congregation, took Holy Communion together, and were encouraged by what God had done over the Family Weekend. During worship, a verse came to mind from John 16:31-33. It says, “Jesus replied,…

During our Sunday Celebration last weekend, I had a chance to update the church family about some of the things that we’ve been involved in both locally and abroad. Last month, Arthur and Leona shared about their Thailand trip and the connections they made with the local people. They shared about a site in Chiang Klang that had limited access to a stable and clean water supply. This past week, four large plastic cisterns were delivered to this site that were…

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” – Romans 12:12 This weekend is our annual Family Weekend! We’ll be gathering from Saturday to Monday of the long weekend to seek God together as a church family. We look forward to seeing many of you there. As I think about this week leading up to Family Weekend, the verse from Romans 12:12 comes to mind. It begins with the encouragement to be joyful in hope. I’m personally joyful…

We had the privilege of hearing yesterday from three different speakers – the Lee family, Ada, and Rodney – as they shared about some of the things that they’ve been involved in as part of the LifeSpring family. The Lee family shared about their mission trip to Thailand and the seven places they travelled, where they visited pastors, missionaries, children, and churches. Ada shared about prophetic ministry at LifeSpring and the growth that they’ve seen over the last several months. Rodney…
