Discipleship Kickstart Weekend
TEACHERS :
Olivier Buades, will run the seminar with a team.
You will be trained and activated (kick-started) to step out in faith: healing the sick, preaching the Gospel, baptizing in water and in the Holy Spirit, and making disciples. You will receive solid Bible teaching, and we will also go out on the streets in small groups to help ‘kickstart’ you.
In the Book of Acts, we read that God was using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. The church was growing fast and believers were being filled with the Holy Spirit, and the disciples preached, healed, delivered, and baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit.
The apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of acting in (supernatural) power:
‘My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.’ (1 Cor. 2:4-5, NIV)
This was the ‘normal Christian life’ for a disciple of Jesus Christ. Is this kind of life still for today? Are we as disciples of Jesus still called to do these same ‘Acts’?
Yes! We believe this is still for today and for every believer who wants to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus.
PROGRAM :
Our seminar is a 2 days hands-on teaching on discipleship. The teachings will be very practical and will include going out on the streets, healing the sick, and preaching the gospel. Our program is planned to be generally as follows:
Saturday
09:30am – Open doors
10am – Teachings begin
12:30 – Lunch and going on the streets
5:30pm – Teaching (& Open Testimonies)

“They ALL joined together constantly in prayer” Act 1:14A

This month’s focus: Sports
– Health and physical safety
– Humility and sportsmanship
– and many more

Hosted by Trinity Church in Owen Sound this annual event is a joyful alternative to traditional Halloween celebrations. Families from across the community will gather in the church parking lot, where volunteers will decorate their trunks and hand out candy to local children in a safe, welcoming, and uplifting environment. Alongside the “trunk-or-treat” portion, we are planning to offer Hot Chocolate and host two booths inside the school building:

1) A Food Donation Booth, supporting the Salvation Army with a gift raffle.

2) An Operation Christmas Child Booth, as our church is a part of this campaign every year.

Are you longing for a deeper, more intimate connection with God?

Hosted by Margot “A Clean Heart,” the final session in the transformative 3-part series, Spotlight on Our Heart.

In this Christ-centered, scripture-rich workshop, we will gain biblical insight into what it means to have a clean heart, identify the hidden hindrances and strongholds blocking spiritual growth, and walk step-by-step through creating a powerful, personal repentance prayer rooted in God’s Word.

Come experience the beauty of a repentant heart — from your heart to Father God’s heart — and allow Him to cleanse, renew, and restore you for spiritual maturity.

The purpose of the our Missions Conference is to unify believers from every tribe and nation, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world, and to create and develop a Spirit-inspired, kingdom-focused, transformational movement in Canada and beyond. This is driven by the Great Commission of Jesus in Matthew 28:19, “Go and make disciples of all nations.”

We are called and commissioned to reclaim what was lost, to bring transformation by advancing the kingdom into the heart of the nation (the marketplace, business, government, education, the church) and in the process, disciple the nation into its God-given destiny.

Enjoy an unforgettable weekend with Jesus as we journey through the pages of Scripture with teacher and New York Times best-selling author, Beth Moore. You will experience a fresh encounter with the Holy Spirit as we worship together with Dove-Award winning artist Travis Cottrell. At Living Proof Live, you can take a load off and laugh alongside an authentic community of believers and be in a safe place to receive prayer and encouragement. Women come together from all different ages, regions, and walks of life for the sole purpose of seeking after Jesus and loving each other well. It’s a weekend you won’t forget!

Beth brings a fresh word for each Living Proof Live event. No two conferences are alike. Grab a friend and come!

When: Friday, November 14th @7-9pm and Saturday November 15th @8:30a-noon

Individual Registration: $95 (+4 fee) per ticket
