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 “And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing  shall flee away.” Isaiah 35:10. Isaiah prophesies that the Lord’s people will return to Israel, the promised land. Today, we watch as this mystery unfolds after thousands of years. Even though there are wars and rumours of war, still yet God’s people return home, and once again dance and sing in the streets of Jerusalem. How glorious and undeniable! “Say to those who are fearful-hearted, be strong, do not fear! Behold your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” Isaiah 35:4. How is it that thousands of years after the time of Isaiah, these words ring true once again; and the children of Israel rejoice in their God! www.cfi-canada.org

CSB Canada

We are a Canadian ministry founded upon Jesus Christ, as He is revealed through the Holy Bible. We work with local churches to enable their men to win and train boys and young men for Christ. Since Covid, the Lord has been taking us on an unexpected journey. It’s been a bit of a marathon with plenty of challenges to distract us. But we have tried to be faithful. Now, as the goal is within reach, the race is becoming 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 somehow, 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? Well, we’re working on that. It’s been a marathon but we are closing in on that goal, too. Pray for us. It’s not easy building people who build boys and girls for Christ.

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.

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.
