A 45-minute meeting, mid 2021 was the highlight of my year. It was during one of the newcomer sessions. We committed an entire session to listening to the testimonies of the 15 people in attendance. The diversity and creativity by which God called each person to faith in Christ was astonishing and humbling. Each testimony was a story of a personal miracle of how God had turned a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. Another highlight was Chris Ley joining our staff in October to oversee our outreach and evangelism ministries. Chris has grown up in Vancouver. He has a love of Christ and a deep knowledge of the city, the culture and our church. His work seeks to develop pathways to reach out and share the gospel to our unchurched neighbours and friends, and develop new ministries to integrate newcomers into the life of our church. We are delighted to have Chris on board, and for the AARON ROBERTS search committee’s work in this process.
