This past week, I spent several days with pastors from across the Central Canada District of the Wesleyan Church. I was invited up there to help them assesses a group of potential church planters who are seeking to plant in various regions across all of Canada.
It was a great week!
I love meeting with passionate leaders who are facilitating missional Church Planting movements, and these leaders are doing it in Canada! The leadership has an incredible vision that reaches across the nation from one coast to the other!
Here are a few observations from my time with our Northern Brothers & Sisters:
- Great movements require great vision and these leaders have it!
- They also have a community marked by genuine unity and love, which will serve them well. [ref. John 13:35]
- Reaching all of Canada for Jesus is a Big Hairy Audacious Goal [BHAG]...and I love it!
- There’s nothing quite like being in a place of obedience where if God doesn’t show up…we will fail. There is no better place to be.
- When Canadians decide to do something, they’re ALL IN! I believe that pleases the heart of God. [ref. Revelation 3:15-16]
- The men & women I journeyed with this week are pioneers...in every sense of the word. They are blazing trails for Jesus into new places...dark places...places ready for harvest.
I invite you to join me in praying for us and them as we all continue to take the Good News of Jesus to the ends of the earth.
I never grow tired of seeing God raise up men & women to advance His Kingdom. He's doing it in Canada, and He's doing it in Western PA! It’s exciting to see it!
I love that we serve a Global God.
