It was a wonderful weekend! Karlene and I were in Quebec for a FM leadership conference. On Friday night I spoke at the young adult event. I had an inspiring conversation with a couple of young men (both about 24) who are recent converts. My one new friend told me a short version of his […]
I am at The Cove – a Billy Graham Association training centre. It’s been a favourite place for a few of our pastors, so I thought I’d try it out and get my Christian Education Units here. Professional development is a core value for our tribe. Most all professions have a professional development requirement – […]
Had a very nice time away with Karlene. I love when vacations are not busy but are times to catch your breath and be re-energized. Praying for you as you find breathing space with God this summer. I spoke at Maple Grove Camp this past Sunday. Apparently they had a “wonderful” camp week with speaker […]

A great time to get away with your family to enjoy each other, unplug from the busyness of everyday life and create intentional […]

Manitoba, thank you for hosting our last Regional Gathering! We started across the country on March 3rd in Quebec and ended in Brandon, Manitoba.

A huge Thank You goes out to Pastor Sabrina, Pastor James Pedlar, Veleyne Amsterdam and their team for hosting the event and […]
Karlene and I enjoyed very much the warm welcome we received by the Westport congregation on Sunday morning. Westport FM is asking the big question: “how do we accept responsibility for our community?” They seem quite motivated to discover what God would have for them. As I met with some of their leaders I was […]

And Thank You Northview for your enthusiastic participation in the worship and sermon! Good reminder that we should participate in sermons – […]
This past weekend I was in Calgary for their Regional Gathering. It was a warm beautiful day in Red Deer. Though we don’t have a church in Red Deer, it is a middle ground for our Alberta churches. Thank you each of you for making that effort to attend, pray, listen, discuss, worship, and fellowship. […]
