Prayer Request

One of the big ways in which our ministry connects with people is by using Facebook advertising to bring people to our IssuesIFace.com website, however recently Facebook decided that they didn't like what we were doing and proceeded to shut down our entire advertising account.

Praise and Prayer Update

We are currently developing partnerships and outreach strategies in India, Indonesia, Philippines and Brazil. Please pray that God would continue to use these opportunities in mighty ways to reach the lost with the gospel.

Big Journeys & Small Stones

Dear Friends, I thought it was high-time to write an update regarding what has been happening in our lives over the past few months. Our family has had some adventures and also some harder times and we are very grateful for your continued prayer for us. Our first adventure was a trip to Edmonton. I (James) have a cousin who got married this summer, and we drove up as a family to attend the wedding....

Global Daily - July 2017

I (James) am excited to share that a website programming project that has taken much of my time for the past few years has finally been completed.

Daily Prayer For The Week

We receive hundreds of email every day from people asking for prayer or help from a mentor. Here are a few of those requests, organized in a daily schedule if you would like to pray for them in that way.

Feb-Mar 2016 Newsletter

Over the past few years, one-on-one mentoring has become more and more central to our ministry focus. People come from many countries in the world asking questions on our websites, and we try to match each of them to one of our mentors who can walk with them in prayer. It is amazing to see how these relationships can carry on for years as the mentors and mentees walk together along this spiritual journey. We...

Volcano Erupts Near Our Team

Please pray for our team in Malang, Indonesia. One of the nearby mountains, Gunung Kelud, just erupted spewing gravel and ash up to 50 km away.  Malang is only around 35 km away from the volcano, basically the distance from Chilliwack to Abbotsford. This is the city I traveled to just last month for meetings with this team.

Suicide Thanks

We got a really encouraging email recently from the mom of a suicidal visitor who was connected with one of our mentors.  Names have been changed for privacy. This is Martha's mom responding. Thank you so much for your support of Martha. You may have been a part of saving her life. I took her to the hospital about a week ago. She was admitted & is still there. She is safe thank God We...

Global Daily September

Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers these past few months.  Life around TruthMedia has been pretty crazy lately due to some fairly significant reorganizing of how we function as a team. We are continuing to build our mentoring ministry and have formed some pretty amazing partnerships with people who have a similar passion to our own.  The partnership with JesusDaily on facebook is one of those and provides a tremendous opportunity...

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...

Februrary 2013 Update

Thank you for all your prayer and support for us over the past months. Life at Power to Change has been quite interesting lately. We're engaged in two major projects these days. The first is the development of The Life. Over the past year or two we have been helping with the development of a concept called The Life. The Life (found at www.thelife.com) is a call to commitment for Christians. Our part has been...

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...

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...

Car Situation Update

A quick update on the car situation. After much research, thought and prayer, we have traded in our 98 GMC Jimmy for a newer (and hopefully more reliable) 07 Jeep Patriot. We really weren't excited about having to finance a vehicle again (the Jimmy was paid for) however we needed something sooner than later, and felt that this was the right decision to make. Being a one-car family, that one car needs to be especially...

Global Daily Sept 2012

Every month Central Heights Church asks the missionaries they support to submit an entry for the "Global Daily" monthly prayer newsletter.  For September, the topic is "How has God blessed you in the past year?" I have to say, we have felt incredibly blessed by the Lord over this past year.  We have been blessed with a great place to live and with great neighbours.  We have a lady who lives right next to us...
