Prayer
Network + Refreshments and treats
Short Bio of Christine:
Christine Olding’s vision for Bayith began at the young age of 13 at an interdenominational family church camp. Raised in a family that valued the presence of God over denominational alignment, she became inspired by the beauty of unification within the Body of Christ. This passion led her to become an executive leader with Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship at The University of Toronto and to co-launch several homeschooling co-ops based on a shared foundation of the Bible and Jesus, the Father and Holy Spirit. Christine also worked with Evergreen, a youth branch of Young Street Mission in Toronto, where she taught and volunteered with the children of youth in crisis. The proud mother of four amazing young adults ranging from 21 to 26, three daughters and a son, Christine currently enjoys being the home base for her children to return for visits from different cities and provinces. In 2018, the Lord showed her blueprints for Bayith, an ecumenical community whose spine is discipleship and an earnest desire to walk closely in reverence and friendship with God.

It wasn’t until much later in life that Mark shifted his worldly focus to a Kingdom focus that Mark finally concluded that the evidence of joy in his dad’s heart and spring in his step was as a result of doing what he was called to do… serving the Lord and fulfillment of his destiny.
Mark and his wife (Terri) have seen their lives transformed with fulfillment and purpose since saying ‘YES’ to the call on their lives.

About Endless Impact Challenge
Our Endless Impact Challenge is similar to the concept of ‘Pay It Forward.’ We wanted to have a unique challenge that would bring awareness on how we can collectively play a role in having an endless impact within our community. In the month of May, we will be encouraging people to come up with a creative way to show God’s love to your neighbour and to challenge 3 people to do the same. You can film the interaction or review the experience in a post for social media and tag One Church Barrie. We are also encouraging those to provide a donation to One Church Barrie’s endless impact fundraiser but it is not required to participate. Lets see the power of how a simple act of God’s love has the ripple effect to change lives and our community.
About Endless Impact Fundraiser
Our Endless Impact Fundraiser will be for the whole month of May. A fundraising campaign page will be listed on our website closer to May 1. It will list all the areas that we are needing impact dollars and the amounts associated with each activity that we plan to provide in the coming year.
