We desire to be a birthing place for
the many strategies that God desires to bring forth to reach our
community and world.
We desire to serve Christ by, fostering and nurturing His "new
ministry" strategies, building our community and others up spiritually,
equipping the saints for
service and networking and partnering with other ministries to enable the Body
to fulfill its call and destiny.
Our
Mission in Parts:
1.
Strategic Prayer
Across
Canada there is a rising of prayer and intercession for our nation from sea to
sea; a call to prayer for reconciliation and healing within the Body of Christ
and our nation. There is a deep desire for more of the Lord to dwell with us,
to rest on us, so we might experience greater intimacy with Christ and
experience personal and national revival. A passionate heart in Canada; the
heart of the Bride, is crying out for her Bridegroom. Have you heard it, felt
it? As a growing ministry body, we are crying out together on behalf of
our churches, community (Haliburton County) and our nation in prayer. God
desires to bring his Church into Unity now, to heal broken relationships, break
pride, selfish ambition and religious spirits that He might display his glory in
our nation in days to come.
2. Discipleship and
Spiritual Growth
Tall Oaks Christian
Academy
Our young
people/children specifically, live in a culture that has become increasingly
hostile to Biblical teaching and standards. Our society and educational system
have strayed from the eternal principles of God. Through prayer, we have felt
led to establish a Christian School in Haliburton County, so parents might have
a Biblical educational alternative that would encourage spiritual growth in
their children daily. We plan to use the Accelerated Christian Education Program
to make Christian Education affordable for families in our community.
Accelerated Christian Education has been providing high quality, high standard,
and high results education for over the past thirty years, with over 170 schools
located throughout Canada. Initially started in the U.S. in 1970, ACE now serves
7000
schools in 135 countries
worldwide.
Donations
to our “Cornerstone Fundraising Campaign” fund this new project.
3.
Missions
We also
believe that our faith grows as we take steps outside our comfort zones and that
God desires his children move to new levels of trust in and dependency on Him.
Experiences in mission settings are one of the ways God does this in our lives.
Missionaries Don and Judith McKay have served and continue to serve the Lord in
missions locally and abroad through PTWIA. Support for Don and Judith’s ministry
work may be directed their way by designating gifts toward “McKay
Missions”.
Next Mission trip is
to Jamaica in December 2005.
We
are also supporting the work of Compassion Canada through Advocacy
work and Sponsor Development. We can make a difference…one child at a time! Ask
us about sponsoring a child in a third world country.
4. Bible Distribution
We also
desire to provide Bibles for distribution in mission settings, at home or
abroad. Request can be made by contacting our ministry office directly.
In
Summary
Our
community and nation are in the midst of much stirring by God’s Spirit. Our
prayer for you is that there is a new thirst created in you for God’s presence
and holiness. That a renewed passion is fanned and that you begin to pursue your
Saviour with new fervor and purpose. Don’t give up church! Press in and press
through for the destiny that God has for you.
