Turning Our Hearts Towards Home: A National Call to Consecration and Preparation (July 20-August 10)
In just over 3 weeks, hundreds of leaders from over 80 different communities in Canada will meet in Quebec for the Embracing the Dream Gathering.
We believe the gathering represents a pivotal point in our journey, the beginning of a new phase. We sense the Lord has new revelation, wisdom, and understanding that He longs to impart to us for this new season and that He is exhorting us that we must not come into this time with our hearts or the ground unprepared before us.
We believe God is calling many into a time of consecration and fasting from July 20-August 10 that together we might turn our hearts towards home and be consumed afresh with the dream of God’s heart.

Seeing the End from the Beginning (August 6)
Now that same day two of them [disciples] were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.
He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?"
They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?" Click here to read more.
One Obedience at a Time (August 1)
Recently a friend of ours was going through a major time of transition. She knew the Lord had asked her to lay down what He had currently entrusted to her so that she might step into something new. But she was finding it hard because it seemed that there was no one who would carry on her work. She felt as if all that she had done would be lost and this was troubling her greatly.
One day as she was taking some quiet time, suddenly the Lord spoke to her heart, “Karen, why are you trying to build a monument to yourself?”
“What Lord, what do you mean?” she answered. Click here to read more.
Answer the Call (July 29)
Today it seems God is speaking the same message throughout His body in the earth: we are on the verge of a major shift, the closing of one chapter and the beginning of something totally new.
There is always a tension in transition. On the one hand, we feel a growing excitement and anticipation in our spirits as the Lord stirs our faith to begin to prepare us to receive the new revelation and understanding He is about to pour out. But on the other hand, we can also feel a bit disoriented, caught in a kind of “rift in time” - where what was is no more and what is to come is not yet here.
How we position ourselves in these times of transition is important. To borrow from Robert Frost, two roads are diverging.. and which road we take, really will make all the difference. Click here to read more…
The Gatekeepers
 For more than 10 years, the church in Canada has been on a journey with the Lord to remove stones of offense that healing and reconciliation may come and the church in Canada can be prepared as a dwelling place for the glory of the Lord. One of the key motivators of our journey is our longing to see the First Peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) healed and released to the fullness of their destiny as original gatekeepers of this land.
 The Gatekeepers documents the journey with the First Peoples, withhighlights from the Ottawa 2004 and One Heart (July 2005) gatherings. It is a powerful tool to continue the process of healing among the First Peoples and between them and the church of Canada.

"What drove us into this whole journey (in Canada) was when we saw the pain of the First Nations... The highlight of our First Gathering in Whistler was the First Nations People. And ten- years later we find we are not praying for a breakthrough for the First Nations. But there is a remnant of them now taking the lead..." David Demian
 
To me it was a very significant thing of the Native people coming into the leadership, which I believe God has ordained for the native people...
David Mainse
"I see now first nations are being called into their position to truly be the spiritual gatekeepers of this land. And they themselves will have to come together as one, to be able to converge with all the other nations. So that we become a body with one heart." Kenny Blacksmith
