WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! Our hearts are full this Christmas as we think of all of you, our friends and family, who we get to do run with in like heart for the things of the Lord. We pray that this Christmas would be one that you never forget, full of blessing, joy and beauty our Lord Jesus Christ as we celebrate His birth!! IGNITE WEEK This past November 23 - 28th we hosted our first ever Ignite week. It is a six day, taste and see experience of life in the House of Prayer—Perfect for people in ministry, the workplace at school or at home who desire to walk in a greater measure of the power and love of God. This all happens through spending time in the prayer room, corporate worship, services and Bible teaching on things such as Life of Prayer, The Great Commission, The Holy Spirit and much more! This week is a call to be ignited and will carry the flame with you wherever you go! Let us share what happened to one family with a marriage crisis that ended up at the Ignite Week: A husband, wife and two of their daughters joined our Ignite Week, but just one year before were in a state of their entire marriage and family falling apart. The wife decided to come to our Going for Glory Women’s Conference. The Lord arrested her heart in an incredible way, to which her response was to go home and break open restoration with her husband. He got so impacted by her testimony and humility, he too got uniquely touched in that moment and together, eight months later were lead to come to our Pursuit Conference 2014 with great expectation. Their two teenage daughter’s who also came, were radically touched. It was this weekend that the Lord confirmed they were to come to Ignite Week—six days they explored new ways through prayer, worship and teaching to encounter the Lord. This family is on fire for Jesus and will never be the same! PURSUIT CONFERENCE 2014 We just hosted our Sixth annual Pursuit Conference. With had a wonderful and powerful time with speakers such as Faytene Grasseschi (theCRY Movement), Benjamin Nolot (Exodus Cry) and Matt Tapley. We had worship leaders such as Matt Gilman, Cory Asbury and Jason Upton. Over 1500 people gathered from all across Canada and the USA for this weekend in a non- stop overflow of the presence of the Lord! Sarah got to emcee some sessions. She also taught a workshop on hearing God’s voice and how to partner with Him in this for ministry. With with our former production director John Ross moving back to Australia, I (Ryan) had to fully take the reigns with production and the design of the event, everything from stage design, TV, live web stream, promotions, advertising and design. With all the extra responsibility I was also still able to serve with one of our worship leaders by playing lead guitar for her in the Sunday afternoon set. Many lives get impacted during this weekend—more than we could every keep track of. This is why we love doing this and what we want to share with you as well because you are just as much a part of this as we are. There were salvations, healings, marriages restored, and many hearts awakened to the God’s Pursuit of their life. God is SO Good!!!

IGNITE WEEK

This past November 23 - 28th we hosted our first ever Ignite week. It is a six day, taste and see experience of life in the House of Prayer—Perfect for people in ministry, the workplace at school or at home who desire to walk in a greater measure of the power and love of God. This all happens through spending time in the prayer room, corporate worship, services and Bible teaching on things such as Life of Prayer, The Great Commission, The Holy Spirit and much more! This week is a call to be ignited and will carry the flame with you wherever you go!

Let us share what happened to one family with a marriage crisis that ended up at the Ignite Week:

A husband, wife and two of their daughters joined our Ignite Week, but just one year before were in a state of their entire marriage and family falling apart. The wife decided to come to our Going for Glory Women’s Conference. The Lord arrested her heart in an incredible way, to which her response was to go home and break open restoration with her husband. He got so impacted by her testimony and humility, he too got uniquely touched in that moment and together, eight months later were lead to come to our Pursuit Conference 2014 with great expectation. Their two teenage daughter’s who also came, were

radically touched. It was this weekend that the Lord confirmed they were to come to Ignite Week—six days they explored new ways through prayer, worship and teaching to encounter the Lord. This family is on fire for Jesus and will never be the same!

PURSUIT CONFERENCE 2014

We just hosted our Sixth annual Pursuit Conference. With had a wonderful and powerful time with speakers such as Faytene Grasseschi (theCRY Movement), Benjamin Nolot (Exodus Cry) and Matt Tapley. We had worship leaders such as Matt Gilman, Cory Asbury and Jason Upton. Over 1500 people gathered from all across Canada and the USA for this weekend in a non-stop overflow of the presence of the Lord!

Sarah got to emcee some sessions. She also taught a workshop on hearing God’s voice and how to partner with Him in this for ministry. With with our former production director John Ross moving back to Australia, I (Ryan) had to fully take the reigns with production and the design of the event, everything from stage design, TV, live web stream, promotions, advertising and design. With all the extra responsibility I was also still able to serve with one of our worship leaders by playing lead guitar for her in the Sunday afternoon set.

Many lives get impacted during this weekend—more than we could every keep track of. This is why we love doing this and what we want to share with you as well because you are just as much a part of this as we are. There were salvations, healings, marriages restored, and many hearts awakened to the God’s Pursuit of their life. God is SO Good!!!

THE MIRACLE CHANNEL We’ve always felt that each opportunity to spiritually impact hearts is worth taking, and for Sarah, the Miracle Channel has been just that. Over the last two years Sarah and various teachers in our Prayer House have been recording on the Miracle Channel’s show called DEVOTED. This show is a series of eight minute devotional segments based on scripture. Sarah was also invited to be a guest on the Insight Show, a live one hour talk show, to discuss a topic she is very passionate about, Fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

A LOOK AHEAD TO 2015

This upcoming year is going to be one of the busiest yet. We have Lots to look forward to and plan for, here is just a few:
