Some reflections on what happens when the Church seeks first the Kingdom, on where the Vineyard has been, and where the Spirit is leading us. July 25, 2018, at Portage, the 2018 Vineyard Canada National Gathering, in Montréal.

Jesus gave me a gift today.
A beautiful gift.
I met Kareem.

It's certainly been a full week and a bit. Certainly blew me out of any social media presence as I've been pretty focused on serving with our amazing team of Vineyardites who were the blood and guts in pulling off our Canadian #VTribe National Celebration here in Montreal.

With a congregation of about 400 members from over 50 nationalities, and a newly purchased facility in the heart of the « European Capital », we are looking for an experienced senior pastor who senses the call of God to lead this church forward in this challenging... more
