PASTOR'S PRAYER GATHERING
Starting September 4, we are excited for the deputation tour of Dr. Floyd Cunningham, one of the Church of the Nazarene’s most esteemed missionaries and educators. He will be here on Canada West until September 18, visiting our district.
Contact your local church for when he is scheduled to be in your area.
Dr. Cunningham has served over 40 years at Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary (APNTS) in the Philippines, teaching hundreds of students who have become pastors, educators, and missionaries worldwide. He is also an author and scholar with works including "Our Watchword and Song" and "Holiness Abroad: Nazarene Missions in Asia." He has previously served as the Academic Dean and President of APNTS and currently serving as Interim Academic Dean for APNTS.
Dr. Cunningham’s vast experience and inspiring stories from his missionary work across Asia and the Pacific will deeply enrich your congregation’s faith and global mission perspective.
Have you heard of the Cycle of Resurgence yet?
In 2022 God called Nazarenes across Canada and the USA to pray, for three years now, we've been called as a Half Million Mobilized to pray from Easter to Pentecost.
Out of the prayers came a grassroots vision for our region as those who prayed shared what they heard the Spirit saying to the Church.
There were four “heart cries” that emerged from God’s people, regardless of their role or age group.
- Mobilizing all Nazarenes in unity in the middle of a polarized world
- Calling our churches to engage in Blessing our Community
- Bringing People to Jesus, especially our younger generations
- Embracing the transformation of the whole person through Becoming Christlike Disciples.
As conversations continued, this started to be called "The Cycle of Resurgence" or CoRE.
Now in 2024, we keep on praying but we set our communities into action with a regional focus on Blessing our Community this year, which we hope will bring an ever-stronger Cycle of Resurgence that fuels our mission in the days and years to come.
We pray.
We bless our communities.
We bring people to Jesus.
We embrace becoming Christlike Disciples.
Canada West joins this focus that is in line with our vision statement:
On Earth As It Is Heaven.
For more information and inspiration, you can watch and share this seminar from the USA/Canada Region that speaks to this vision and ways we can begin to do the work of resurgence in our communities.
