"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors & teachers; for the perfecting of the saints; for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
Ephesians 4:11&12
Currently, only 5% of believers actually share their faith with another person in one year (The Barna Group, Ltd, Pastoral Research 2004). Evangelism is all about love. The perfect love -- the love that God has been showing us throughout time. We're called to share God's love to our families, our neighbours, our co-workers and throughout the world.
Sea To Sea
Sea to Sea is a recognition of Canada as a mission field and represents the Canadian C&MA's desire to reach this mission field through multiplying transformational churches. With a special concern for the least reached people groupings in Canada, churches are challenged to consider how they can be involved in multiplying their witness to others and also being part of a multiplication venture locally or nationally every 5 years. Your district has been working on ideas to support our churches in seeing Sea to Sea become the "5th S" in our global ministry. If you have questions, need assistance or would like to suggest ideas, contact Larry Eide at the District Office. You will be hearing more about Sea to Sea in the months ahead!
