Fort St John

In early March Ian visited Fort St John in BC, northern Canada.  The action packed week included Proton business and community meetings plus speaking at the Church Explosion conference.

Tony and Sarah Warriner, lead pastors of Evangel Chapel in Fort St John, hosted Ian's visit.

Tony told us:

"We've just finished a great weekend with Ian here in Fort St. John.  As always, Ian’s dry sense of humor and thought-provoking challenges are both refreshing and honest.  We are inspired to rise up to the level of missional life that God has called us to.  Ian speaks from experience and brings with him story after story of God’s work of transformation in both nations, cities, and individuals.  As a consultant, Ian also provided some keen insights into our journey as a local church, especially in the area of vision for the future, and crossing growth barriers.

"We held a special business session on Sunday evening where Ian could speak specifically to business owners and community leaders.  To a crowd of 150, Ian shared about the Abundant life and how that can connect to the marketplace.   Notably, when Ian concluded, clusters began breaking out all of the room.  Clearly, Ian’s talk had stirred both anticipation and creativity and could sense a new level of faith in the room.

"If you want to stir the pot a little, I highly recommend you invite Ian over!"

Ian then travelled on to Texas to speak at Freedom Fellowship International before returning back to the UK.
