What a journey it has been… and we’re just getting started.
When Pastor Paul Legere and I first sat down to talk about World Vision, we dreamed about what it could look like to bring a Chosen experience to his church—about the kind of impact that could be made not only locally, but across the world.
It didn’t take long before Pastor Paul said yes… and from that moment on, it has been a whirlwind of purpose, faith, and transformation.
From speaking at Sea View Full Gospel Church - Concert For A Cause …
To Pastor Paul traveling to the field in Kenya and witnessing firsthand the life-changing impact of sponsorship—seeing how one decision can transform an entire village…
To standing together in Ottawa with pastors from across Canada, meeting with MPs and national leaders to advocate for the most vulnerable…
And then—The beautiful Concert for a Cause—where 14 individuals from Back Bay stepped forward in faith and chose to be part of something bigger than themselves.
The following week, in Awach, Uganda, those precious children chose them.
And today… we celebrated together as a church family, seeing the faces of the children who said “I choose you.”
There are no words to fully capture moments like this.
And this is just the beginning.
This Friday, Pastor Paul will be joining me at the John C. Maxwell Leadership Event, alongside incredible leaders from across our region.
And this Sunday, we’ll be sharing at Surelife Assembly for Mission Sunday—continuing to tell the story of what God is doing through this partnership.
Lives are being changed.
Communities are being transformed.
And hearts—ours included—are forever marked.
This is what happens when a church says yes.
This is what happens when we choose to be part of something greater.
