James & Carolanne

Global Daily - May 2025

In July we hope to attend the biennial Power to Change staff conference as a family. This is usually a great opportunity to meet the rest of the team and hear how God is working in the various ministries across the organization.

Global Daily - Mar 2025

This year James has been working on creating software that allows our Digital Strategies ministry to expand into more of a community-based mentoring focus. The DS ministry is hoping to begin creating safe communities for evangelism and discipleship in addition to the one-to-one mentoring we already do.

Global Daily - Nov 2024

Praise the Lord with us for a young woman who has been in conversation with one of our mentors for over two years and just recently gave her life to Christ.

From Darkness to Light: Ghazal's Testimony of Faith in Christ

For years, I wandered in darkness, burdened by the weight of past hurts and broken dreams. Anger and bitterness consumed me, and I felt trapped in a cycle of hopelessness. But then, in the midst of my darkest moments, a ray of light broke through the clouds.

Family & Ministry Update

Last year at this time we had just gotten settled and were getting used to living here in Quesnel. There was fresh snow on the ground and we weren’t sure what to expect from the upcoming winter. Today there is again fresh snow, we have been living here a little over a year and have experienced all the seasons, including winter, summer, mosquito, and bear season.

Global Daily - July 2023

In my last update I mentioned that I would be developing a live-chat system for our ministry. This has now been built and we are in the process of testing it and rolling it out to some select partners who are helping us with the testing.

Global Daily - April 2023

Dear Friends, Thank you so much for your continued prayer and support of us. We are very blessed to have friends and donors who continue to surround us and this ministry in prayer. As you may know, much of my practical day-to-day activity is writing the back-end code that runs our various software platforms and outreach sites. Right now I'm exploring how we might build a live-chat system where our visitors would be able to...

A Muslim Finds Truth

Salima’s life of privilege and wealth came crashing down when her husband was sent to prison for fraud. It wasn’t until several years later that her life changed for the better.

Sept. 2020 Update

Dear Friends, What a crazy summer it has been! I know I and my family are definitely ready for life to go back to some semblance of normal. I'm sure you are too. Seems like every month brings new calamities. As I write this today, our skies here in Chilliwack are grey with wildfire smoke, and at times the air has an acrid taste. Just this week a train derailed nearby, and a large pier...

James shares about the new text message mentoring and a story of how a Hindu woman in India came to Christ.

Some Statistics

Normally, raw statistics are not all that inspiring. I thought these were worth sharing though. This is a glimpse into why I do what I do. So far today, there are 24 people who have indicated that they've decided to accept Jesus as their forever-friend. And the day isn't over yet.

Share Our Facebook Posts

Hey all! I know I have mentioned this in past newsletters, but I thought I would mention it again. If you would like to help us raise more support, one way that you can do that is by linking and/or re-sharing our facebook posts. There is one in particular that I just posted that would be a great place to start. This is a picture of what it will look like.  Click here or on...

A glimpse into Internet ministry

It may seem strange or foreign to some that we get people with such personal and heartbreaking stories writing in to us from the websites. You may think that most of our work is with nameless, faceless "website visitors" who we never really have a chance to interact with.  In some situations, that is true.  However in many cases, we have people writing to us with very personal and painful questions that our team must...

Video About My Job

I've often tried to explain exactly what I do to groups of people and usually end up getting somewhat of a blank stare in response.  Either I tend to make it too simple: "I work as a missionary on the Internet" OR I make it too complicated: "I help to build, code and maintain the back-end PHP/MySQL based systems and API's that enable our ministry to engage with website visitors who find us on the...
