Ministering to Migrant Workers in BC

The Migrant Workers Ministry team continues to serve migrant farm workers daily in a variety of practical and relational ways, always with the goal of building trust and creating space to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Pastor Carlos Carrión also leads a weekly Bible study with a group of workers in Cloverdale, providing consistent spiritual support and discipleship.

In July, the ministry reached out to two new groups of workers in Langley. One of these opportunities came through a worker Pastor Carlos had connected with in the past, who has now returned to Canada and is working at a new farm. These types of reconnections happen often and offer a valuable way to extend the ministry’s reach to new workers and farms across the region.

Reflections on Indigenous Church Planting and Partnership with Fellowship Pacific

Last month, Rachel and Jacob Hwang of Maaqtusiis Community Church made the long journey from the coastal First Nations community of Ahousaht, BC to the Fellowship Pacific Ministry Centre. Alongside them traveled a vibrant group of youth leaders, eager to connect, learn, and grow.

Their time with Todd and Collette was especially meaningful. The Hwang’s have since shared their heartfelt appreciation for the warm welcome and uplifting conversations. Together, they explored not only what it means to grow in personal faith, but also how to lead and encourage others within their community in Christ. The discussions were filled with encouragement, vision, and a shared sense of purpose rooted in discipleship and community transformation.

Is your Church in Need of a Checkup?

Is your Church in Need of a Checkup?

Most of us wouldn’t skip an annual health checkup. Even when we feel fine, we trust the value of taking time to ensure everything’s working as it should. Churches need the same kind of intentional care. A way to confront reality, strengthen what’s going well, and instill hope for the future.

What if your church isn’t as healthy as you think?
Or what if it’s doing better than you realize - but you're unsure how to build on that momentum?

A Fellowship Pacific Church Consultation helps your church step back, reflect, and realign with what God is doing in and through your ministry.

Women in the Canadian Evangelical Church National Survey 

Calling Canadian Christian Women: New research project needs your input!

Canadian Christian women care deeply about their faith and living it out. But anecdotes and academic discussions dominate our understanding of how most women participate in the church. We’re looking to survey Christian women who attend or have attended an Evangelical church in Canada. Fellowship Pacific has teamed up with 13 other ministries to understand trends in women’s participation and their future in the church.

How Coaching Can Shape Your Leadership Path

This is your reminder that Fellowship Pacific has qualified coaches ready to support and encourage you as you lead in your church.

Here’s what some people have said about how coaching has helped them:

  • “When I am doing regular coaching, I am able to think and speak clearly what I want to say in the moment with other people I work with.”

  • “It’s helped me get to the bottom of why I feel stressed and anxious and take steps to connect with God and others for help.”

  • “I was new to my role and our church was going through some tough times. Coaching helped me make good decisions, lead the team well and plan better for the future.

Letter to Churches: Succession Information

To the Leaders of our Fellowship Pacific Family,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am writing on behalf of our Regional Board to formally let you know that we have taken steps to ensure a successful succession plan for the Regional Director of Fellowship Pacific, David Horita. David had informed us at the beginning of his last contract period that he would not be renewing again at the end of this contract, feeling that it is time to make the changes necessary to set up the Fellowship for its next era of ministry.

Happy New Year: A Letter from David Horita

Happy 2025 to each of you in Fellowship Pacific!

It is great to enter into another year of service together with you, seeking tangible and meaningful Kingdom outcomes that will honor our Lord and God. It is a blessing to join with you in ministry.

However, while it is truly fulfilling to be “appointed to his service” as per Paul in 1 Timothy 1:12, we also know that there are challenges in that service. While true, I sometimes wonder whether anything in the nature of those challenges has actually changed or will change in 2025.

There is a tendency for many of us to resolutely accept that the world has gotten worse or more adversarial to the gospel that we love and preach. Sure, there are all kinds of indicators that our country is less “Christian” than it once was, but please allow me to at least question whether or not this assumption is actually true. You may well disagree with me, but it is harder for some than others to not ask questions about our assumptions! That certainly includes me. But feel free to engage the conversation in the discussion section of the Commons, our Fellowship network.
