“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of  the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

James 1:5-8 ESV

Join us in praying over the activity of God…

As Towers Baptist Church launches a new “Experiencing God” small group as a building block of discipleship in the life of the church.

As several leaders will arrive tomorrow from our partners in Texas to explore the ministry in our city and pray for direction about joining the team supporting church plants in Vancouver. Ask the Father to give clarity and generosity in each meeting.

As our local and international Advocates will be gathering Thursday in Burnaby to hear reports and explore possible ministry options throughout the regions in our Association. Pray for the movement of God during these days.

Pray for the training of leaders this week as church planters will be offered the church planting essential training in the 12 key principles of starting a new church as well as for the Ingolds as they offer their first Harvesters Training on April 8 – 9, 2016.  Please pray that all those who need to be there would be able to come.  Pray they would understand and apply what they learn.

Pray for the gathering of a strong prayer team an core group for Transformation Church in the Olympic Village area.

Pray for the guidance of the Spirit and favour in building partnerships as we work with 18 different church planters seeking God’s direction in reaching new areas in our region.

Please pray with Gratitude…

For the ministry of Paul and Nancy Ingold as they currently have two ongoing home bible studies with new believers and some non-believers.  Please pray God would open the eyes of all to love Him and know Him more deeply. And for those who do not know Him yet to come to know Him fully.  Please pray for wisdom to teach these studies and that the gospel would reach into the oikos of all those who attend and that they have the passion to share their faith with their family and friends.

For the report from Canvas Church on Vancouver Island as they celebrate an amazing Easter gathering! We had approx. 215. We have seen 7 of our friends at a Canvas give their life to Jesus in the last 7 weeks! Exciting times in Victoria, BC!

For the ongoing partnership with Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary as we had the opportunity this week to meet with the GenSend team coming to Vancouver Island this summer and launch the partnership application process with a student planning to join the ministry with Origin.

For the eight church planter wives that enjoyed a good evening out Saturday evening coordinated by Amy Corbin.

Set your clock and join our gathering team of prayer warriors to pray for Vancouver and Vancouver Island every day at 10:02 am and pm.
