The title “Missional Canadian,” reflects my passion to see the church in Canada increasingly act and love like Jesus, so people across our nation and the world over are powerfully transformed  through an intimate relationship with Jesus. That folk all across our country and beyond would connect in unprecedented numbers with the Creator of this world and not only experience personal re-creation but become agents of his re-creating work wherever we live and throughout this planet. That we would be people who are avid to see more and more of God’s kingdom and more and more of God’s will done on earth as it is in heaven. That we would be people who simply bless our neighbours and enhance the reputation of our God here and around the world.  

The sub-title, “Experiencing LIFE, PASSION and ADVENTURE!” is all about the nature of vibrant Christian spirituality. Knowing and chasing after God and his ways is anything but boring! It truly is an experience of LIFE, PASSION and ADVENTURE made possible by God’s Spirit.  “Life” refers to the richness and vitality of experience that comes only through connection to Christ and reaches beyond this earthly life into eternity.  “Passion” refers to the empowering work of the Holy Spirit that comes as we surrender our lives fully and wholly  to our gracious loving God. “Adventure,” is the result of following our God and allowing him to make us fully alive, empowering us with his Spirit and leading us into the mission of bringing and being Jesus to our country and world.  Every day as we journey with Christ is full of adventure.  It cannot be otherwise as you serve God who chooses to powerfully even supernaturally love the world through his followers, as we seek to make Jesus and his love tangible and visible in our world.

So these are the ponderings of a “missional Canadian,” committed to bringing the message and life of Jesus to his city and beyond. These are the thoughts of a local church leader who is jazzed every day by his experience of LIFE, PASSION and ADVENTURE, that comes as a gracious gift from his loving heavenly Father. And these are the thoughts of a Christ follower who is blest to live in loving community of fellow Christ followers called Redwood Park,  who together are stumbling forward in this God led missional journey.  My prayer is that the words that follow will inspire, agitate, generate dialogue and most of all create action that makes Jesus real and visible here and around the world.

Because I am so loved by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
