“What’s going on in Sri Lanka?” A court case. When I started in my new role, there was actually another case but Praise God for some very good meetings we had (myself and the plaintiffs), wherein the dissident pastors withdrew their case and committed to work towards reconciliation – currently there is one court case […]
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 […]

Manitoba, thank you for hosting our last Regional Gathering! We started across the country on March 3rd in Quebec and ended in Brandon, Manitoba. I didn’t know exactly what to expect: what kind of questions would you ask, what concerns would you raise, what the enthusiasm-level would be and how well attended would they be? […]

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 […]
