Richmond Chapter worships at their September 7th General Assembly. (Photo: Vince Licerio) A perfect day always starts with a beautiful opening.

Photo: Michelle Domino Throughout the past year I’ve been in situations and obstacles that made me question God’s love and if He truly was listening to my prayers which led me to slowly drift away from God.

I left for Conference early with two other brothers from Vancouver Cluster […]

#TNC2013: Truth Is

Photo: Paddy Magdua The truth isn’t always easy to admit. That’s something that I have struggled with for the months leading up to Conference. I was under an avalanche of sin, completely consumed and imprisoned by it. I started to think that since I was so deep into sin, I might as well get comfortable […]
