October is always a month focused on thankfulness! We are truly thankful for the great things God is doing in our churches, leaders and nation. With this change of season in the natural, we're believing for a new season of harvest in the supernatural for the church in Canada! We're praying with you for people to find hope and faith in Jesus this fall!
This month, we're very blessed to chat with Mike Miller on our Multiply Network Podcast as we celebrate Nova Church on their 2nd anniversary. We catch up with Jordan Cameron from Evensong Church in one of our "Take 5" videos and talk about what church multiplication looks like on a university campus. Rob Good from Promise Church takes the time to be in our other "Take 5" video as we talk through their discipleship process and how questioning becomes an important part of it
Thanks for all your great efforts and hard work in reaching people far from God. Keep going, because I know we all believe every Canadian deserves an access point to the Gospel!
Cheering you on!

The New Testament writers never really needed to define church planting—in the same way fish do not need to explain water and humans do not need to explain air, the Bible writers never needed to tell people to plant churches.
