Canada Day: A Story of Belonging

Our COO, Rick Burdett, is a new(ish) Canadian! This is his story about belonging.

We had immigrated to Canada in 2010, where I served as a pastor in a church in Delta, BC.

A Canadian Christian response to Anti-Asian Racism.

It is my hope that as churches strive to be missional communities, we would hear pastors address the topic of racism from the pulpit. Furthermore, could the Christian leaders of Vancouver and across Canada stand together to denounce this injustice publicly, calling on reform but also racial reconciliation? This is our time to show the world who are His disciples, by how we show love to another.

Hospitality in Scripture

Hospitality is a powerful practice with the potential to bring restoration and revitalization to souls in need. It is a virtue, espoused in scripture, through God’s earliest interactions with the patriarchs right through the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles.

Often misunderstood in our modern western context, hospitality rediscovered allows hosts and guests to experience a taste of God’s love and grace through their interactions with each other.
