Justice Summit Recap

"Being Willing" was what the speakers at the Justice Summit spoke about. They each explained their story of getting involved in the fight against human trafficking, of not being exceptional but being willing to do what needs to be done. That was the challenge for each of the 400 attendees at the Summit & for each person they go and share the day's events with – are you willing to stop talking about statistic and start changing them?

ALIVE (Natalie Grant)

On Friday, Jesus Christ bore the sin of the world and died on a cross to save us... His followers were left with no leader and no hope. But 3 days later, the stone was rolled away and his tomb found empty. Death has lost and LOVE is victorious! He is Risen!

Take time this weekend to reflect on how relevent this sacrifice is today. He is Risen indeed!

Praying for Rock the River!

Last night I was at the National House of Prayer for a prayer strategy meeting for Rock the River (Sept 29 and 30) in Ottawa.  The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada has said, RtR is the largest Evangelical outreach event in Canada this year and it’s happening in our backyard!  Wow!  As we know, this is also a call to pray, pray and pray!
