Update from Imagine 2007
It was great to meet with a number of you at the Imagine Congress in Gatineau/Ottawa. This congress has sometimes challenged my ways of thinking about church planting and other times confirmed directions for me. I pray that it is stirring up new imaginations for you and challenging us all to think missionally and incarnationally. Pray that the Kingdom of God might be expressed all across this great country. As we work in Alberta, let us also pray for our brothers and sisters serving Jesus in Quebec. We need to pray for new workers for the harvest and new church planting movements in this province and across the country.
