The Lion's Den

Power to Change recently helped to host an event called "The Lion's Den" which was patterned after the show Dragon's Den.  The event gave a panel of "judges" the opportunity to invest in the most promising evangelism strategies we have available today.  This video captures a few of the stories and highlights from the event. http://vimeo.com/80513239  

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...

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...

The Kids

Occasionally, people tell me that they wish they could see more of our kids and our family. So here's a more personal entry. My son is such a good big brother. He's four now, and Julia is two.

I was privileged to speak in our church recently about our need for more volunteers to...

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...

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...

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...
