Jesus Cares Canada: A Coaching Story

Rick shares his story of becoming a coach & chatting with young Canadians through Jesus Cares Canada.

Community in the Neighbourhood

We hope these personal experiences and tips from our Outreach Canada team encourage and inspire you as you look for ways to initiate and participate in community in your neighbourhood!

Selling Snails

Muslims are noted for their hospitality. They are gracious and friendly. But one thing they will not tolerate are snails. I mean I don't want to eat a snail, but this is anathema to Muslims. Now, if you are a Christian living in a Muslim country, they will treat you with hospitality. People will be friendly and try to help you if you have a difficulty. But you will be viewed as if you were a Snail Salesperson.

The Importance of Community

Agreement on all aspects of life and ministry are not a requirement for community. In fact, strong relationships are built on healthy dialogue, disagreement, and mutual respect. God calls us far beyond comfortable relationships to accomplish His work in our lives and in the lives of those we serve with.

Sharing the Gospel through Social Media

Young Canadians need to hear the gospel message, but where will they hear it? Jesus Cares Canada recognizes that social media provides a great opportunity for fresh, unencumbered access to the Gospel.

Freedom, Identity and the Good: the Theological Ethics of Christian Community

Christian freedom flourishes within a trinitarian horizon. Trinitarian divine goodness proves to be a fruitful plausibility structure within which to think about human freedom, community and the moral self. Trinitarian goodness-freedom takes us to a higher dimension of the self. It reveals new possibilities for identity, discovery, and personal transformation within divine communion and human community. It is in the life of the God-man, Jesus, that we can visualize this energizing and life-giving dynamic.

Yummo Comes Home
