“Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God.” Rev. 21:9-11. As the angel announces the new Jerusalem, we can only imagine a world free from wars and violence – a world of peace with God the creator in control. Yet is he not in control now? Many nations think they can attain peace by working together, but are they listening to the Holy Spirit? Have the leaders of the world given their hearts and lives to Jesus Christ the Saviour? We undoubtedly will find out in the coming weeks. “There shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” Rev.21:27 www.cfi-canada.org

August isn’t the end of summer; it’s the beginning of a new season of winning and training boys and young men for Christ through midweek programs run by volunteer leaders who are called by God under the authority of the local church. The Lord has been taking Christian Service Brigade on an unexpected journey. It’s been a marathon with plenty of challenges to distract us. But we try to be faithful. Now, as the goal is within reach, this race has become a sprint. The pace has quickened and every step is an effort in itself. We move forward. There seems to be resistance from every direction. We stumble, but we recover. God has a plan for us (Jeremiah 29:11). We feel the urgency of His Holy Calling (2 Timothy 1:9). We see the doors that your prayers – the prayers of God’s people – have opened for us (Colossians 4:3). We are straining forward toward the goal with every step, pushing through the distractions (Isaiah 7:4). It’s not through our strength that we receive the prize. It is through the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:25 says, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.” God seems to be rewarding us for doing this. And, what about a ministry to girls through women? Well, we’re working on that. It’s been a marathon but we are closing in on that goal, too. Pray for us. Building people who build boys and girls for Christ is a rewarding investment.

Lighthouse Harbour Ministries

Amazing Outing: Recently, a Lighthouse chaplain had a rather humorous experience during an outing with seafarers. The outing was prompted by the chaplain’s effort to assist a Filipino captain to replenish his ship’s fresh produce.  It was the chaplain’s understanding that the need was modest.  Therefore, a small vehicle was secured to transport three Filipino seafarers to a local grocery store. However, six very large boxes resulted from the shopping and the sufficiency of vehicle cargo space became a big concern for the chaplain.  To add to that challenge, one of the seafarers asked if it would be okay to purchase some fast food.  Umm….sure. Amazingly, fruit boxes, burgers, fries and drinks were squeezed into the compact vehicle, with hardly a vacant space remaining. The end of the matter was success; all went well and, most importantly, the Word of God was shared with the seafarers. Volunteer with Lighthouse and be amazed at what the Lord accomplishes. http://www.sealight.org or 604-988-5084.

Family Foundations Mighty Man Camp: Sept 26-28, 2025

Join Us: Mighty Man Camp September 26-28, 2025 – Seeking the Kingdom. That’s why we’re inviting you to Mighty Man Camp in Caroline, Alberta, a gathering of men who are ready to seek God’s Kingdom with renewed vision and purpose. This year’s theme, Seeking the Kingdom, is a call to action. It’s a call to recalibrate our lives, reestablish our spiritual authority, and rediscover what it means to live as citizens of heaven in a fallen world.
Some of the sessions include:
Our Kingdom identity:  Who you are in Christ, and how that identity shapes every role you carry.
Keys to the Kingdom:  Discovering the authority Jesus has entrusted to His followers to bind and loose on earth as it is in heaven.
Living a Kingdom lifestyle in a post-Christian world: Practical strategies to walk in boldness, purity, and influence when the world is watching.
Whether you’re a father, a mentor, or simply a man hungry for more of God’s presence, this Kingdom Man camp is for you. Together, we will encounter God, encourage one another, and be equipped to lead our families and communities with courage and conviction.

Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Conference 2025

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” – Proverb 27:17 (ESV). “ISI” returns to the Lower Mainland on Saturday, November 22, 2025. This is the annual “Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Equipping Conference” that has been happening in Metro Vancouver since 2012. Even during Covid, ISI became online conferences that continued to Build Godly Men. This conference is designed for men of all ages – the man of the church (or the man 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 Saviour. The ISI conference provides opportunities for men to be “equipped” as Men of God. Join us on Saturday, November 22 at Town+Field in Langley. Save the date in your calendar. We are excitedly finalizing our keynote speakers, inviting our workshop hosts and 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 workshop hosts. See www.csbbc.org/mens-network for the on-going details.
