Spread the gospel
More blessings come from giving

Ignite Cultivating United Prayer Across Canada
In April 2023, I attended a Prayer Seminar at Trinity Church in Kelowna with a group of interdenominational leaders from British Columbia. It was co-sponsored by The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada, the National House of Prayer, the Peace and Reconciliation Network, and Vineyard Canada.
Guest speakers were:
(1) Ray and Fran Duerksen from Church Renewal Canada. Pastor Ray left a flight career and pastored two churches for 30 years. Twenty-two of those years, he led Southland Church in Steinbach, Manitoba. The church grew from 150 people to over 4500 in attendance each weekend. He learned about biblical principles and practices necessary for renewing a church. In 2012 Ray launched a ministry called Church Renewal. Over 1500 church leaders in 47 countries join in online mentoring each week.
(2) Jacob George, pastor and prayer ministry coordinator from Centre Street Community in Calgary. Jacob believes that when we pray, God reveals himself to us.
They taught about three types of leaders: leaders who do not pray, leaders who pray with a program, and leaders of prayer. What type of leaders are we? Are we leaders whom the Holy
Spirit directs? The success of a leader will depend on his intimacy with God through fasting and prayer.
It was beautiful to hear our leaders in Canada speak about the power of prayer that is
transforming communities. The Bible say “…if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (ESV)
In 2016, the pastor of my church in Kelowna introduced me to Pastor Ray and Fran from the Church Renewal ministry. In the beginning, I was a participant, and I discovered that this group
from Canada uses the same principles that I learned in my country Argentina. In 2018, with the material provided by this organization, I began to coach leaders in Canada and Argentina.

Kelowna – Multicultural Ministry
At Evangel Church in Kelowna, BC, our Sunday services are translated onsite into a few languages such as Portuguese, South Korean, and Spanish.
On Fridays, our team receives the pastor’s sermon to translate. We dedicate two to five hours per week in preparation for each Sunday. Our translation team is growing. We are three people for Spanish, two for Portuguese, and one for South Korean. Our multicultural family uses a device to listen to the service in the language they need. In the future, we are ready for more languages because many immigrants from different nations like Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria, and Spanish countries come to our city. Also, on Sundays after the services and during the week, we meet at the church or homes for fellowship.

Across Canada
Our online leadership training started before Covid-19. People are very busy with their ministries and work. We decided to use Zoom to reach more people each week. We are working in collaboration with Church Renewal Canada. The online training is with three groups from Canada and one from Argentina. In Canada, we are meeting with people from Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia, and in Argentina with a group from Neuquén.
We are meeting for an hour and thirty minutes to study, share, and pray for each other. We are covering some topics such as listening prayer, fasting and prayer, inner healing prayer, and healing prayer.
At the beginning of this year, we posted twelve videos about fasting and praying on our webpage. It is a practical guide using the elements of the Tabernacle of Moses. Some people and churches use it daily as a spiritual guide. Soon these videos will be translated into Spanish.

Covid-19 season (2019-2021)
Breakthrough Prayer: Since started Covid-19 we are meeting regularly via Zoom and we love these moments of sharing and prayer. We are learning to listen to the voice of God. It is important to know the voice of the Holy Spirit in order to be more effective when we pray for needs.
Church Renewal Canada: In 2020, I attended Pastor Ray Duerksen’s Virtual Church Renewal presentation. When it ended we had the opportunity to register in different areas to be disciple by them. Church Renewal is a global ministry that helps Christian leaders renew their life and ministry. I am meeting for a one-hour online tutoring session each week with people from Canada under the leadership of John and Lorraine Baergen.
Advance Canada Summit: In 2021 many committed and passionate evangelists met online. We were encouraged and equipped to carry the gospel in our nation.
Zoom Evangelism: Covid-19 canceled many mission trips and activities to which I was invited. The pandemic did not stop the opportunity to share about Jesus’ love for us. Some of those canceled trips were made through Zoom and that opened new doors. I was able to touch a greater number of people in different countries simultaneously. Technology has allowed me to move into a new world and reach more people in many countries.

Ministry in Canada
In 1991, I moved to Canada with my husband Wayne, pastoring churches and itinerant ministry in Ontario. We ministered together in different communities by holding seminars, conferences, healing meeting, and children’s events.
After my husband’s unexpected death from a brain aneurysm, I continued to minister in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. I have shared the gospel in more than 100 communities. I have traveled with different friends, and on other occasions with teams of people in Canada.
We have ministered in Sunday services, three-day seminars, conferences, family camps, retreats for women, youth events, and children’s events.
Our vision is to ignite the church, captivate the heart of God in prayer, fasting, healing, miracles, deliverance, and outreach.
