Though born in Greater Vancouver, I have grown up in Victoria, British Columbia, an overwhelmingly under-reached place in North America. In Victoria, only 2% of its citizens self-identified as evangelical Christians. Lighthouse Church, a PCA church plant, holds a unique place in Victoria with our weekly gatherings held in SilverCity Movie Theatre. Recently celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Lighthouse has been blessed to have grown significantly, now seeing a little over 200 people attend weekly gatherings regularly. Since January 2021, I have worked as first the youth intern, and now the pastoral intern, discerning my call to ministry and developing crucial on-the-job skills. However, Margot and I have reached a point where we feel that seminary education is crucial to be formally trained for future ministry. Alongside Lighthouse Church, I have come up with a plan that allows us to continue serving Victoria, specifically through the youth at Lighthouse. At the same time, I will be pursuing further education to equip myself for the ministry ahead. We hope that you would support us financially, as well as in prayer, as we endeavour to grow in faith and maturity in Christ, preparing us for the ministry ahead and equipping us for our work now in Victoria. We hope that you’ll reach out and get in contact to learn more about our plan, as well as to hear about the progress of our venture. May the Lord bless you in your generosity toward us!
“Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it”
~ 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
