SEPTEMBER EDITION
Tom Harbour | Marketplace Ministers & Chaplains Coordinator During the summer, I do professional development for the upcoming school year. It’s the only time of the year I really have time to “sink my teeth” into new learning, so I met earlier this month with local school counsellors to discuss Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT. Before I go any further, don’t let your eyes glaze over! Dialectical simply means a “way of understanding concepts by
understanding and appreciating their polar opposites”1, like love and hate or introvert and extrovert. As each counsellor shared their DBT discoveries, I started to think about how key facets of DBT impact us as church leaders and people of faith. As Christians, we live constantly with the tension of God’s kingdom as already but not yet, meaning “that believers are actively taking
part in the kingdom of God, although the kingdom will not reach its full expression until sometime in the future. We are ‘already’ in the kingdom, but we do ‘not yet’ see it in its glory.”2 For counselling clients, the dialectic may mean accepting that life is worth living even when there is pain. For the prophet Daniel, it meant pursuing his active relationship with the God of Israel as an >> CONT. PAGE TWO

enslaved captive of a foreign regime.
belief that there is resolution and relief, or an understanding that where we are currently in each of these spheres is not where we will be forever. Embrace the tension!
As both a counsellor and a pastor, I love it when I see our theology complementing our psychology, and vice versa. I regularly engage clients in the midst of where they are and where they want to be, caught in the tension of already but not yet. Recall the words of the apostle John: “Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.” Why bring this up? Because we all live with the tension of unmet needs, and belief in a God who hears us and intervenes! Our world, our lives, our homes, our families, and our churches can all reflect the tension of already but not yet. Like Daniel, we need to live fully in our current reality with the hope and

Andy Gabruch | Director of Youth, Young Adults & Family Ministries After every summer camp/retreat, there is an awakening, a stirring, a calling to take home what God did. Camps and retreats are Biblical, practical, and life-giving… But it is also important to take home. Here are 5 SIMPLE ways to take home a retreat as found in Acts 2:41-42:
TEACHINGS of the leaders – the early church COMMITTED themselves to the teaching of their leaders. I encourage you to submit, learn, and apply the teachings from your youth pastor in the WORD. Why? Because they love you and are willing to give their whole lives to you. If you allow them to lead you, they will lead you to have a life lived to the FULLEST.
“
DOING LIFE TOGETHER – Being a follower of Jesus is allowing yourself to be with those who love Jesus also. Your best friends CAN be found at a camp, retreat, youth ministry, youth pastor, or small group. Why is this important? Because you are who you hang out with… and besides… you get to eat lots of food together!
”
DON’T forget what God did – It could be a healing, a new identity, new friends, and/or a renewed vision/purpose/calling. In the early church, 3000 people were saved in one day. IN THE SAME WAY, remember what He has done for you. I encourage you to write it in a journal or tell a trusted youth pastor, friend or counsellor.
PRAYER – over 75% of people in the world have admitted they pray. Prayer is important. It is the life-source to a relationship with God. Prayer is a two-way communication – bringing our thanksgiving, requests, and needs to God AND listening to the promptings of God for our lives. I LOVE the fact that our faith is NOT just for you and I but to bring faith to others. This happens through prayer.
COMMIT yourself – it is IMPORTANT to commit yourself to the work of God in and through you. This would include MAKING time to be with Jesus – prayer, Bible reading, and applying God’s ways in your life. The early church committed themselves to hearing, listening, submitting, serving, applying, and following God… will you?
I hope these thoughts encourage you to bring YOUR summer camp/retreat experience home. >> READ MORE AT

Phil Spoelstra | Assistant Superintendent for Revitalization
“Re:” infers that we are working back to something. Something that was good in the past that has been lost. Re:discovered. Re:vived. Re:claimed. Re:stored. Re:infused. Re:enthused. Re:invigorated. Re:newed. Re:vitalized. All these words involve action. They involve effort and time. They require patience and persistence. And they usually require … help. Finding something that has been lost is more difficult alone than it is with others. Typically, we can “re:” better with outside help. The purpose behind this new role created in our District Office is SPECIFICALLY to come alongside our leaders with the hope of putting some fuel in your tank to assist you in finding the strength to pastor a church that is trending “up and to the right” in every category of health. To help you “not grow weary in well-doing”, but to keep remembering that the Gospel carries with it the power to utterly and radically transform lives – including YOURS. Let us share in your leadership journey that we might both discover strategic ways to lead fruit-bearing congregations all the while seeking the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit to help us “Re:” again. Want to kick the tires on this? The following pages provide a window into what a “Revitalization Weekend” might look like. Look it over. See if this might be exactly a step in to the right direction for the future of your ministry and your congregation. Ministry is hard. Don’t do it alone.

To help a congregation more effectively engage and join God in His Mission for the Church. At times, there are potential roadblocks to health that need to be uncovered and strategically addressed. In these situations, it may be increasingly difficult for church leaders to discern these roadblocks and to provide clear direction for moving forward. The Revitalization Weekend is like a visit to the doctor. A good doctor conducts a systematic check up on our health when we’re sick, and then gives us a status report with their best prescriptions for what we need to get better. This is exactly the heart of a Revitalization Weekend: diagnosis and prescription.
1. The church’s Leadership Team (pastor and board) invites the Assistant District Superintendent for Revitalization to objectively assess the church’s health. 2. The Leadership Team members commit to the process of implementing the prescriptions that come out of the health assessment. (Please note – this is a covenant agreement. We’re in this together for the long haul!) 3. The congregation is informed of the Revitalization process and is asked to participate in an interview assessment component, focus group and training meetings. 4. A congregational meeting is called to present the prescriptions and engage the support of the members to bring health to the church community.
1. Please know that this is not a “one-time, quick-fix” approach. We are not interested in achieving surface-level change: we are pursuing foundational transformation that will have a long-lasting impact. This will take time, resources, and input/involvement from your Leadership Team – both over the weekend and in the years to come. .
Furthermore, we recognize that this is not a “one-size-fits-all” model. Below is a suggested outline of a schedule that can be adapted to provide the most efficient and effective means possible of assessing and training. 2. Financial Expectations:
3.
Signing up with www.healthychurch.net and leading your staff, board and congregation through the Church Health Assessment Tool ( ) survey at least one month before the assessment weekend (approx. USD $299 when discount code XDBCYD is applied).
All group hospitality expenses during the weekend (BC/Yukon District would cover the travel, lodging and meal expenses of the ADS for Revitalization.)
Time Expectations:
Complete the online
One-on-one meetings to take place at the church during the day on Friday.
There are only a small number of time slots available. Ideally, there is only one person per interview (ie. key ministry leaders), though a married couple may share the same time slot together.
Confidentiality is very important and will be honoured
Each person will be asked the same 3 questions to draw out their thoughts about the church: What are the top 3 areas of strength of the church? What are the top 3 areas of struggle in the church? What are some solutions to the above?
A Friday night focus group for board members, ministry leaders, and those who were unable to attend a one-on-one interview
A Saturday morning training session for everyone involved (staff, board, leaders, etc.)
survey in advance of the weekend.

Follow-Up: The Leadership Team will commit to a relationship of accountability with the ADS for Revitalization to proceed from this weekend. This may include weekly phone calls, monthly Skype discussions, and strategic conversations regarding the implementation of the changes and adjustments made to help produce fruit-bearing change. Said differently, the Revitalization Weekend is intended to be a catalyst for an ongoing relationship of accountability and transformation for as long as is necessary.
The Revitalization Weekend is designed to provide a neutral assessment as well as biblically sound recommendations to a local church to assist them in achieving greater Missional health. If we are to become and remain strong healthy Missional communities, we must be courageous and determined to deal with church challenges in a manner that honours God, heals people, and reflects Christ to the community.
PS – if you’re not following our “BCYD Church Revitalization” page, you’re missing a FANTASTIC resource that costs you nothing. I do all the work. You get all the good stuff. PPS – if your worship leader is not following our “BCYD Worship Cluster” page, they are also missing out. And so is your congregation. Did I mention that it costs you absolutely nothing? 6
Avant Life Church | North Vancouver Our journey of church planting has been the most fruitful, beneficial and growing season we have ever experienced. Emma and I were serving on staff at a church in Canberra Australia when in October 2015 we sense that God was directing us into a new season of ministry. The more we prayed and explored the prompting the more evident it became that He was leading us to pioneer a new work for what seemed like an infinite amount of reasons but the one that really stood out to us was God telling us that He wasn’t finished with something.
encouragement. At the end of 2017 we sensed God was leading us to partner with PAOC and with that we began coming to regroup meetings and catching up with different Pastors. We worked with the District to find a location on the North Shore and ended up finding an existing PAOC building which really tied into what he said to us 12 months earlier, that he wasn’t finished with something yet. Fast forward another 4 months, we are only 6 weeks away from launch which is on the 30th of September. Our launch team is about to break the 50 persons’ mark, which we are so pumped about. We are busy doing building renovations, launch team meetings and interest parties as we march towards what we know God has been planning for many years. Keep us in your prayers and enjoy the pictures of all God has been doing here on the North Shore of Vancouver.
We spent six months just asking God to reveal where he wanted us to pioneer. In March 2016 when on family holidays with some friends on the Gold Coast in Australia God spoke to us clearly that we were to plant a church in the northern part of Vancouver proper. We spoke to our then Lead Pastor who came out with us to investigate the call. After spending 10 days out in North Vancouver we knew that this was the place that God had called us to reach for Him.
Many blessings, Pastors Ben and Emma Narayanan Avant Life Church, North Vancouver
On May 31, 2017, we landed in Vancouver with a team of 12 young Adults. We had just finished 6 months of fund raising when we hit the ground running here in North Vancouver. It took us a good 6 months to find our feet and begin to feel at home and as usual God was so faithful in His provision and

Darwin Pichette | Assistant Superintendent for Operations Fall has begun, and the treadmill of ministry is up and running again! I trust you have had a restful summer. As you look into your schedule ahead, I hope the following information may help reduce some of the workloads. If you have any questions about these helpful tips or any other areas of church administration, please feel free to contact me any time at dpichette@bc.paoc.org. May God bless you, your family and your ministry as you move into the next season ahead.
Incorporated Societies If your church is an Incorporated Society, meaning your church has a society number and a charity number, it is vital that you complete the Updating and Registering Your Constitution and Bylaws documents before November 28, 2018, to avoid the provincial and federal governments from closing down your society and charity. Please contact me for all the necessary documents and assistance through this vital transitioning task. It is also crucial that you would subsequently register these registered and signed documents with Charities Directorate and then email the same registered and signed documents to dpichette@bc.paoc.org, where our office will keep these documents on file for your access at any time.
Did You Know‌ Donation Receipting – New Format You may be aware that the Canada Revenue Agency has revamped their website, where subsequently all charities were informed that they must change the CRA domain address on their donation receipts to canada.ca/charities-giving. CRA has recently announced that charities will now have until March 31, 2019, to complete this change. CRA moved this date in response to the many charities that inquired wondering whether they were in error or not concerning their 2017 donation receipts. Please ensure your donation receipt template is updated so that you will be ready for your 2018 yearend donation receipting. Feel free to visit the CRA website to review examples of donation receipts for your ministries: www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/charities-giving/ charities/sample-official-donation-receipts.html.
Important Reminder: CYD Name and Charity Number Change As a point of notice, I would like to inform you that CRA has changed our BC/Yukon District charity number to 888671500 RR0001, as established under the name The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada British Columbia and Yukon District Society. Please update our charity number and name in your database and contact information. When you are reporting your transfers to Qualified Donees on your 2017 CRA T1236 forms, please indicate this new BN number for the tithes and offerings transferred to the District in 2017. As a safeguard, if you have already reported for 2017, CRA will correct this for you.

The Ministry Investors Group is formerly known as the Minutemen/Women program. This program assists smaller and pioneer assemblies with the purchase of property and the construction or renovating of church buildings. It is a creative plan that allows us the privilege of investing and having a share in God’s work in many communities without actually living there. Since 1957, we have raised over $1.4 million through the generosity of our churches and individuals donors. This generous support has enabled our churches to accomplish many necessary capital improvement projects. We invite you to participate with us in God’s Kingdom.
As part of the Ministry Investors Group, three appeals per year are expressed with an explanation of the need and opportunity to give in response to the project (donations of $10 or greater are eligible to receive a tax receipt). Please consider joining today. Investing in God’s work on earth pays eternal dividends. Be a wise investor!
1: Text2Give: text “Give20” or any other amount to 604-757-2609 2: Make a donation online at www.bc.paoc.org/giving 3: Mail a cheque to our office with “MIG” in the memo
FALL 2018 APPEAL Thank you for your generous response in our last appeal to help Chetwynd Gospel Tabernacle. Together we were able to send $8034 to help them with the much needed repairs and upgrades to their building. May God bless you for your ministry. Our fall project is to assist The Embassy Church in Kelowna, BC. Together we would like to help the congregation with replacing the roof over the foyer (as seen in cover photo) and the carpet directly underneath as a result of leaking and water damage, and replacing windows. Not only are the windows single pane and in places exposed to elements through cracks and louvers, but also pose a safety concern as they can easily be broken and could hurt someone. May God bless you as you consider to be a part of improving the Lord’s house in Kelowna. Thank you immensely for your heart of generosity.

Len DenBraber | Assistant Superintendent for Multiplication I recently attended a retreat located a two-hours drive from Williams Lake where there was no cell service and very unreliable Wi-Fi (gasp!). Although I never really got over the digital withdrawal twitches, it was very conducive to creating room for unhurried and uninterrupted conversation.
Effectiveness, on the other hand, uses internal measurements instead of external comparisons. A pastor who chooses to examine effectiveness is being proactive by determining which metrics really matter in their context. Those metrics should include the traditional records of attendance and finances but can also focus on other meaningful measurements. Some questions to ask may be:
One of the reasons I was there was to learn how multiplication “works” in rural and northern communities. As I dialogued with the gathered church leaders, inevitably the topic of measuring success in our churches was discussed. What is a successful church? How do I know if I’m being successful in ministry? Is it just about the numbers? What are the metrics we should use for measuring success?
Are our values evident in each one of our ministries? Are we consistently seeing first-time salvations and recommitments? Do we have a discipleship process and is it making disciples? Do we have small groups and is there growing participation? How many baptisms did we do in the last 12 months?
This topic has been hotly debated for as long as I’ve been in ministry – and, in my opinion, no one has really come up with a definitive answer. I don’t pretend to have this figured out, but as the conversation took a philosophical turn (should we even be concerned about success?) and then a theological detour (how does God define success?) I had an “ah-ha!” moment: What if we were more concerned about measuring effectiveness instead of obsessing over success?
Are more people serving in ministry than at this time last year? Are our people actively engaged in the community? How many people fill out guest cards each Sunday? How many local guests “stick”? Does our congregation reflect our community demographics?
I believe we react negatively to measuring success because those metrics are based on external comparisons: how is my church performing compared to the church down the street / online / in another community? We’re caught comparing our church to what we think we know about the other church, but let’s be honest: what we “know” is usually based on anecdotal evidence, impressions, assumptions and even rumours. Success metrics are very reactive and can feed our insecurities or puff up our pride.
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas. Is it even biblical to measure our effectiveness? What metrics do you think are most important? Have you found tools to help you gauge your effectiveness? Feel free to email len@bc.paoc.org or call me at 604-533-2232 with your feedback. I’m also available to meet with you and your leadership as you plan for your church’s next ministry season or consider how you can be more effective in ministry. 12

Kailei Chang | University Christian Ministries Ministry Support Specialist
This summer, university students across BC have scattered far and wide. Many of the students in our ministries have felt so blessed by what God has done in their lives through campus ministry that they want to be a blessing to others. Some have even gone as far as Thailand on a missions trip this summer, bringing songs and games to an orphanage and a water supply system to a rural community. After getting caught in a storm after a day of exhausting work, God brought them this beautiful rainbow as a further extension of his grace. Back in Canada, many campus workers and students continued to celebrate fellowship and service. Nick, from UBC, writes about how their ministry has transitioned to meeting in their community house for a meal, worship, and teaching. Over the summer he has seen this continuation bring in those who may have been on the fringes of community, and even new students. And now, after many students have scattered for summer, we are in our season of intense gathering. Over 400,000 students will be attending BC colleges and universities this fall, and we believe that God has a calling on each one of those lives. Copious research has shown that young adults who have a mentor to help them navigate the transition from high school to university maintain and grow in their faith in university. Sadly, the opposite trend happens to those without a connection. Our heart is that this September a plentiful harvest of students would be invited into a real relationship with someone who loves Jesus and that they could come to encounter Jesus themselves. We are asking churches to help us with that. If you have not yet heard from UCM about how you can help connect your post-secondary bound grads with campus ministers on the ground, email Kailei at kchang@bc.paoc.org. You can also refer grads to our website for follow up at www.joinucm.org and fill out our “Get in Touch with Us� form.

We are pleased to announce that we are launching a new Graduate (Masters level) Certificate program in Not for Profit Organizational Leadership. This program is designed and directed by professionals working in the non-profit sector of Christian ministry. Summit is offering two Graduate Certificate programs, both consisting of five 3-credit courses: • Studies in Pentecostal Theology, and • Not for Profit Organizational Leadership. Studies in Pentecostal Theology program consists of five core courses that are necessary for credentialing with PAOC. This program is also designed for current credential holders, church leaders, missionaries and others who are serving in the church. Not for Profit Organizational Leadership program is designed for those who have completed a BA degree, preferably with a major in Not for Profit Leadership or extensive work experience, and desire to serve in areas of institutional leadership. The focus is on administrative leadership principles for work in non-profit organizations, churches, or global work contexts. For more information, go to www.summitpacific.ca or email deanofgradstudies@summitpacific.ca.
This course examines the essential practices of leading and governing a non-profit Organization to meet community needs. A strong focus is placed on applying leadership skills that build the organization, engage with the community, and manage strategic partnerships. Effective operating practices of governing boards, and key working partnerships with the CEO are examined, along with developing a leadership lens for engaging in strategic planning. Other topics include: strategic planning, program development, program implementation, evaluating effectiveness, and performance measurement to guide organization and program improvement.
This course deals with the theology and methodology of pastoral formation distinctively suitable to pastoral ministry in the context of Pentecostal churches. The goal is to help shape the student into an effective, ethical, Biblical pastor - a pastoral team member and a leader who can develop spiritual formation and leadership abilities in others. The course seeks to immerse the student in Biblical principles of pastoral ministry and allows the student to reflect upon those principles in professional ministry within contemporary culture.
Contact the Dean of Graduate Studies, Dr. Riku Tuppurainen by telephone at 606-851-7217 or by e-mail at deanofgradstudies@summitpacific.ca. 18
