Ministry Location: Montreal, QC
Ministry Focus: Urban Ministry
With almost 30 years of ministry experience, Cal and Chrissy Krahn have often been drawn to those outside of the church walls. As urban workers with Mission Canada, based in Montreal, Quebec, they care for those around them who are lonely, hungry or in need of some extra help. This can be through involvement at the local food bank, sharing a meal or a coffee with someone, connecting newcomers to Canada with helpful resources, or simply giving a granola bar to a person who’s hungry.
In a province where less than 1% of the population attend an evangelical service on a Sunday morning, and where many do not trust religion, Cal and Chrissy desire to embody "the Jesus way" by living their lives based on the example of Christ - full of generosity, hospitality and love.
In the words of Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), "When you take up residence among the urban poor, you have an opportunity to do things for transforming that community and these people not only spiritually, but it will change their lives economically, socially, and educationally, and all the things that follow. YOU can make a difference in the world.”
And, in the words of Matthew, “Keep an open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 - The Message)
Cal and Chrissy also serve as the interim Quebec and Francophone Canada Coordinators for Mission Canada. They welcome your prayer and financial support as they intentionally serve both French and English speaking communities, reaching those in the 'gaps'.
