I recently returned from Saskatoon again very encouraged after meeting with 6 different church staffs to discuss the launching of a Saskatoon area network focused on transforming the marriages and families within reach of these great congregations. I was very encouraged by the atmosphere of cooperation and found no spirit of competition among these pastors.  Instead I sensed a desire to partner with other congregations to move forward on such an important initiative.

The discussions centered around the power of collaboration and the need for the local church to become far more proactive than reactive when it comes to dealing with the family. We discussed the one-year coaching model as well as the potential impact that an ongoing collaborative network focused on marriages and families could have in Saskatoon.  I came away full as I saw God’s leading as well as the incredible potential of a network launch in Saskatoon.
