Post-Indonesia Update

Thank you very much to all who prayed for and supported us on our recent trip to Indonesia. I feel that over-all the trip went really well. For those who didn't know, Sheldon (my supervisor) and I (James) went to Indonesia for a week in January in order to meet and coordinate with two programmers who have joined our team. Marcel and Shierly will be working with us for at least six months in order...

Entry-Level Mentoring

Over the past few months, we have been running a simplified version of our mentoring system which allows new mentors a gentle introduction to the whole concept of online mentoring.  The first version was really just a quick proof-of-concept that we built to see if the idea would fly. This simplified interface (we call it Level One) has already shown great promise to be helpful for new mentors by giving them a really easy way...

Latest Updates and a Free App

With the start of the new school year and the end of summer things have begun to pick up around here again.  Though it never really gets "slow", things definitely do ramp up in the fall. A New Devotional Series: Our film team has been spending a lot of time this spring and summer working on a story-based discovery series called Treasure: Jesus is Worth Everything. They have been incredibly busy working on this project...

May Update

Recently I (James) have had the privilege of working on one of our athletic ministry sites called the Total Athlete Academy.  This site is designed to help athletes from around the world get the help, teaching, accountability, and encouragement they need to reach their full potential. Along the way we also introduce them to Jesus as being the only one who can truly fulfil their needs and change their lives. The athletes are matched with...

November Global Daily

Every month Central Heights Church asks the missionaries they support to submit an entry for the “Global Daily” monthly prayer newsletter.  The question this month comes from Psalm 68:19 which says, “Praise the Lord; praise God our Savior! For each day he carries us in his arms.” The question is How has God carried you lately? Often it is on the hardest days that we feel God's presence most closely.  We have felt like we've...

October Update

Dear Friends and Supporters, I (James) wanted to write a quick update to let you know what has been taking place in our lives and ministry over the past few months. As you may have heard, one of our biggest projects this year has been the development of TheLife.com and the strategy for which it was built.  This has been an ongoing learning and development process for everyone involved, however the central purpose is to...

Global Daily for June

Question: Let us know about your activities, ministries, home assignment activities etc. for this summer. Answer: The nature of our ministry doesn't really change much with regard to the various seasons of the year. We do see somewhat smaller numbers at times during the summer, as people are often taking vacations and generally getting offline. We also often bring in a few summer interns to help them gain experience in web based ministry. During this...

Recent Activities: The 35 Day Challenge

The past few weeks/months have seen our team incredibly busy with a new initiative called the 35 Day Challenge.  Designed as an evangelism training solution for Christians, the 35 day challenge can help you walk through the steps needed to learn how to share your faith effectively with other people. My part of this work has been in building the website and programming the technology that allows the website to function properly.  (yes, if you...

Global Daily for March 2012

Each month, I (James) write a short article in response to a specific question or two for our church.  I usually also post these here to give you a sense of what's going on in the ministry.  The following is the entry for this month. Question: How will you celebrate Easter and how do you share the message of Easter with the people where you are? Answer: We are very blessed to have both of...

Global Daily - March 2012

We have just come through a major project with Power to Change called TheLife.  TheLife is a challenge: to make the commitment to grab hold of God’s vision for your life.  To make your life count and do something that makes a difference for eternity, any time, any where, at any cost, to do any thing. As a symbol of their commitment we challenge followers of Christ to sign TheLife card as a physical reminder...

Sharing Prayer

It has been an exciting few months here in TruthMedia. Now that the majority of our work has been finished on the Power to Change supersite, we have had the opportunity to branch out into a few other projects that were waiting on the back-burners. One of these, was to try and build a facebook app that would let people send in prayer requests. Power to Change and TruthMedia’s new “Need Prayer?” Facebook app helps...

Raising $1000 per Month by June

Many of you may have heard about our recent push to raise $1000 by June, but for those of you who haven't, I thought I'd post an update on what this is all about. We have been asked by Power to Change to raise an additional $1000 in monthly support by June 2011. This is not because we're suddenly going to be paid more, but rather due to cut-backs in P2C's covering of our existing...

Crave: The Documentary

"What role do our deepest human cravings for intimacy, destiny, and meaning play in our search for God? Crave: The Documentary explores how regardless of race, background, or spirituality, we all have one thing in common: the cravings of our soul." A must-watch, Crave: The Documentary is a film where Erwin McManus demonstrates in grippingly real conversations that people right here in Vancouver are open to hear about Jesus. We're using this film as the...

Not Just for Seekers

One of the aspects of our ministry that is often missed when presenting what we do is the "Christian" side of things.  Though we do work very hard to lead people to discover Christ, we ALSO develop a large number of resources intended to help existing believers grow in their faith, share their faith with others and teach them to inspire others to share their faith.  In Power to Change lingo we refer to those...
