It is super easy for us to fall into thinking that the rest of the world, over the past several thousand years, has functioned like we do here in North America today. When we think about it, it is obviously completely foolish to think that. But when you don't stop to think about it, it is very easy to think that way.

We assume every couple should have their own physical house, that grocery stores have always existed, that safe streets are normal around the world and that people are only happy when they have all those things. We assume that how we live here, now, is the bare minimum for our needs to be met and for us to be happy. What about people in the rest of the world, and people before 1900? What about people who couldn't, or can't, publically say they follow Jesus? What about people who could only expect to live until they were 40? What about people who never even dreamed about a thing called "retirement?" What about people who never had Amazon Prime?

I think if you do some digging, you will find there are many people in our world today, and many from the past several thousand years, who have found incredible joy and peace in Jesus despite not having the North American modern life. Maybe we don't need all that we assume is necessary, and actually need more Jesus in our lives...

1. More interviews were held for Soul's Harbour and our agreement with them got signed this week! 

2. Pastor Evan's extended call to AWC got unanimously renewed by the Local Board and the District Superintendent on Sunday!

3. I had several conversations in the past few days with people in our church who have been hearing God speak to them about specific things He wants them to do. When the people of God start recognizing His voice, incredible things happen.

District Superintendent Peter Moore shares a special message.

EDGE Youth is gearing up for their annual trip to ONE Conference in Moncton and they are looking for our support. Join us for a spaghetti dinner, cooked and served by our teens and a dessert auction. Live entertainment and testimonials from our teens will also be shared. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased from any of our teens or by contacting Pastor Brad. 

Pastor Brent Ingersol says this about XY:

This year, we’re thrilled to be once again partnering with Tidal Church in Moncton to make the conference more accessible and impactful than ever before. We’re expecting and believing for over 1,000 men from across Atlantic Canada, Ontario, and Maine to gather for a time of worship, growth, and breakthrough. This isn’t just another event—it’s a moment for men to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to lead in their homes, churches, and communities. I believe what happens here will ripple out to bless families, churches, and entire regions.
