The best is yet to come! Anyone who knows the Lord can rest on the assurance that life is mere preparation for eternity. What wonder awaits.

At the same time, clouds hang over our heads. The woes of this life are a guarantee.

But we must refuse to let that get us down.

Our annual Renewal Day invited us to live with joy – right here and now. Many came and spent time with other kindred souls at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Welland, Ontario, on Saturday, March 25, 2023, while others joined us online.

We got a powerful pep talk from Canada’s most enthusiastic evangelist. Cory McKenna – aka “The Equipping Evangelist” is Founding President of The Cross Current, a local missions ministry that equips the Church to normalize sharing the Gospel in our personal and community relationships. Cory is on fire for Christ’s Great Commission and is just what we need as we emerge from the pandemic malaise. Text: Matthew 28:16-20. Title: Our Great Commission Commitment.

Cory’s message inspires and instructs all true worshipers of Christ on the eternal importance of us “getting back to the Master’s business” together by fulfilling the two, interrelated responsibilities of “Our Great Commission Commitment.” Having served as a pastor since 2002 and an equipping evangelist since 2007, the Lord has graciously grown in Cory a love for His people and gifting necessary to equip them for the work of gospel outreach together. Cory and his wife Dawn live in London, Ontario with their two sons, Joshua and Caleb. The video below begins with Cory’s talk at the 7:45 mark.
