November 2011 Updates
Dear Friends and Supporters, Thank you very much for your ongoing prayer and support of us here at Power to Change. It's been a busy few months but we have been seeing almost constant growth of both the number of people coming to the sites, as well as the number of people being brought into the kingdom of God. I was privileged to speak in our church recently about our need for more volunteers to...Published 2011-11-04
Global Daily
What are the major hurdles, from your perspective, that will need God's divine enabling and overcoming in order for you to reach your ministry objectives? What are these objectives? Our position within the Power to Change ministry is actually a fairly unique one. What I mean is that as missionaries on the Internet, we are not working in a traditional missionary type of environment. We are not somewhere far off overseas serving the Lord in...Published 2011-09-20
Recent Updates
Dear Friends and Family, Thank you so much for the ongoing prayer and support you have shown us over these past years. You have been such a huge encouragement to us and we are honoured to have people like you standing with us as we serve with Power to Change.

August 2011 Newsletter
Dear Family and Friends, Thank you all very much for your ongoing prayer and support of us over these past few months. It's hard to believe we're already a good way through summer. (probably because we've had so little sunshine) :) I wanted to say an especially big thank you to all of you who have responded recently to our fund raising requests by joining our team, increasing your giving and giving additional special gifts. ...Published 2011-08-02
May Newsletter
I was recently asked by one of our supporting churches to send in an update centred around the topic of current world events and how they effect our lives and ministry. I thought it might be good to also share that response here along with an update on what we're up to in the ministry. At the time I am writing this, the most recent world (or North American) event that has taken place is...Published 2011-05-24
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...Published 2011-03-11
Feb. Surgery Update
On Thursday of last week (Feb. 3) I received a call from the office of the specialist that we have been trying to see, telling me that they had an opening to operate on the following Tuesday (Feb. 8 ) and wondering if I could make it on short notice. Naturally I said yes and quickly arranged for a few days of sick leave from work. Though it wasn't ideal timing, I've waited for quite...Published 2011-02-09
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...Published 2011-01-26
Quick Ministry Update
Dear Friends, As many of you know we have been delving more and more into the realm of producing and using evangelistic video content on the websites. To that end we have developed a number of video "channels" aimed at reaching a variety of demographics. As an example, one of the channels we're developing is a "Family" channel in which we show an assortment of videos designed to help families and marriages. The channel covers...Published 2010-12-20
Prayer Requests
Please pray for the hurting people who we interact with on the sites. This last Monday our director shared how she had the opportunity to literally save a young man's life through the website over the weekend. The person was intending to drown himself in a lake, but searched the Internet one last time for the phrase “what happens when you commit suicide”. Our site came up as the first result in his search and...Published 2010-11-24
2010 End of Year Update
We recently mailed out an end-of-year ministry update for 2010. We tried to get everyone we could think of who could possibly be interested in receiving an update about us, but if for some reason you were missed, we are putting it up here on the ministry site for you to read. You can download it in PDF format here. One of our big needs right now that we mentioned in the letter is for...Published 2010-11-17
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...Published 2010-10-08
Evangelism to 150,000 people
I recently received this update from our director and thought you also might benefit from reading it. This month, TruthMedia will give 150,000 people from over 200 countries the chance to know Jesus and grow deeper in their faith. Each of those people can then talk to someone personally. That is an incredible opportunity! In a culture where many Christians say they don’t know how to share their faith, we are seeing volunteers join our...Published 2010-08-30
Suicide and Mentoring
The following exchange took place a few days ago on one of our articles related to suicide. I am posting it here because I thought it was a really meaningful example of our ministry in action combined with the positive influence of mentoring on the site. If you like, you can read the full article with comments here. Vandana Mittal: hi.. I love a guy who says he we cant be together because of commitments...Published 2010-08-04
Ministry to Real People
I've often been amazed at some of the stories and comments we receive off the websites. I have to admit, sometimes the stories seem so personal or heart breaking that my amazement turns to a little bit of scepticism. I wonder if the situation is really legitimate or just another person trying make waves or get a reaction. So how do we know that these people are telling the truth? One clue to this is...Published 2010-07-19
