The Life and Death of an Ordinary Saint
I say we need more like her, but I wonder if that’s true. Maybe we already have saints like this all around us if we just had eyes to see them.
I have some personal news to share.
Younger Christians Are Looking for Older Saints

We’re facing a shortage of pastors. I’m encouraged by the quality of people God is raising, but we need more. So pray and mentor, trusting God to provide for the church as he always has.
The Dearth of Church Planting in Toronto
Ten years ago, God raised up labourers for this harvest. But that was ten years ago. There’ve been a few since, but I’m praying that God raises up more. Just as God redirected Paul to Macedonia (Acts 16:9-10), I’m praying that God will redirect some missionary planters to Toronto.

Thanks again for reading. I’m grateful.
