CFI – Christian Friends of Israel

As I think back over the years: a young farm girl who grew up riding horses; and hearing God speak to her in a rural country church. God said to be a witness for Him, something that seemed unbelievable, and I questioned at the time. Now having been married forty-nine years, the mother of five, grandma to fourteen, having been to Israel eight times, and on our way to Charlotte, North Carolina for the 40th Anniversary of Christian Friends of Israel, seems surreal in its own way. God is a God of miracles – “Jesus saith.. I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6. God only wants the best for us, and He will give us the desires of our heart when we give our lives to Him. www.cfi-canada.org

CSB Canada

Small and careful steps; these are what CSB Canada has been taking as we follow God’s leading into the future. We are Christian Service Brigade, and we always will be, but we are more than a men’s ministry to boys and young men. The Lord has been taking us on a journey over the past few years. We have seen Him move CSB from a place of apprehension to a place where we are ready to move forward. It began in December of 2021 with Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you… to prosper and not to harm.” Then God gave us 2 Timothy 1:9 in 2022, “He has called us with a Holy Calling…” In 2023, He led us with Colossians 4:3, “Pray also for us, that God may open to us a door…” (And He did this and we stepped through it, through them… and through some windows, too.) Last year, He gave us Isaiah 7:4, “‘Be careful, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands…” These are the obstacles that we imagine to be in our way. We had four new CSB Units start in the 2024-25 season. We took this as the proof that we have been following God’s leading. Now, we are forced to step further out in faith. Pray for us. Our purpose is to build others who build God’s Kingdom. Check out CSB:  www.csbcan.ca.

Lighthouse Harbour Ministries

Changed for Jesus: After the seafarer and Lighthouse chaplain had spoken for some time, the chaplain tried to encourage the young Indian sailor in his spiritual life.  The mariner then declared that he was from a Hindu background but, as a young man, had had a big change in his life.  Wonderfully, while in high school, through the influence of some faithful Christian friends, the seafarer had come to know Jesus.  Since then, he had participated in evangelism and faithfully attended a local Church.  He also mentioned that, although his devotion to the Lord was initially resisted by his family, his changed life testified to the genuineness of his faith and eventually became accepted. This young brother’s commitment to Jesus has also motivated him to want to share the Lord with others and was very inspiring to the chaplain who had met him aboard his ship. Come and volunteer with Lighthouse so that atheists can have the opportunity to believe – http://www.sealight.org or 604-988-5084.

Family Foundations Canada School of Ministry

July 17 -25, 2025: The FFC School of Ministry is a life-changing experience designed to equip leaders with the tools, vision, and a process to minister to the hearts of others. Hosted in the peaceful setting of Entheos Retreat Centre, just outside Calgary, this School of Ministry is a place of encountering God’s love and building lifelong friendships. Through biblical teaching, practical training, and the power of the Holy Spirit, many have experienced deep personal healing and have been equipped to bring healing to others. Hundreds of lives have been transformed, and many have even joined the FFI team, ministering to people across the nation.

Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Conference 2025

Men are competitors, so when we hear that we are “broken”, it’s our natural tendency to feel that we can fix it… we CAN be better. Yet, we are always reaching, never attaining the perfection that we expect. We can’t do it on our own. God uses the Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Conference to build Godly Men. On November 22, “ISI” returns to the Lower Mainland. This conference is designed for all men – the man of the church (or stuck in the world); the husband, father, single guy; the layman, employee, ministry worker, the businessman; the pastor, church staff and volunteer; the man who just wants to show himself to be worthy before his Lord and Master. The ISI conference provides opportunities for men to be “equipped” as Men of God. Join us on November 22, 2025 at Town+Field Church in Langley. Save the date in your calendar. We are excitedly finalizing our keynote speakers and inviting the seminar ministries. It would be great to see you there. In the meantime, please pray for us. Pray for the men. Pray for the churches and for their ministries to men. Pray for the conference speakers and seminar hosts. See www.csbbc.org/mens-network for the on-going details.
