Great connection with Saskatoon Pastors
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.
A giant is awakening

Bruce Clemenger, President of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada asked if I’d join a conference call today with 40 leaders from across the US discussing the “Let’s Strengthen Marriage Campaign“. The call was organized by Chuck Stetson out of New York and it covered a seven pillar strategy to strengthen marriage involving Churches, Family, Education, Business, Media, Government and Arts and Entertainment. I was encouraged to hear of several great initiatives taking place in all seven areas in an effort to shore up the falling tide on marriage. I was mostly encouraged though in regards to the effort of collaboration to make it all happen. Within this campaign there is much cross-sector collaboration between the above mentioned pillars which is necessary for real change — on a national level — to materialize. Here in Canada it’s high time we too join forces to do all we can to transform the relational landscape of our Canadian marriages and families.
