Wade and Vangel

Wade & Vangel - Victoria, BC

"I encountered the good news of the grace message after living most of my life consumed with measuring my spirituality based on my performance. I was in a state of exhaustion when I heard about Christ's finished work. The more truth of JESUS that I hear, the more I trust in His grace and the more I relax in the complete work of the cross."

- Vangel


"Veni Vidi Vici: Absolute Victory! What a treasure it is to finally receive the truth and power that lies in Jesus perfect work on the cross. No more "trying" - just believing that what Jesus said on the cross is true "it is finished," and because of what has already happened "we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus." Hallelujah!"

Mark & Leila- Victoria, BC

"Having two entirely different pasts with regards to beliefs, faith, and our understanding and involvement with religion, we now find ourselves together finally as a couple in our walk.


While we both have a strong faith and love of Jesus Christ now, we have also both struggled with the battle of religion and the legalism instilled in the 'law'. This walk in the Grace that God has for all of us is so freeing and has enabled us both to grow and mature and to realize more of what Jesus has done for us and His true love for us."

Ruth & Dean - Ladysmith, BC

“Happy is the man/woman who does not condemn himself”...How blessed we are to be in relationship with a God who loves us completely and as we continue on this Grace Adventure called Life, we are discovering more and more what it means to be free. Free to be loved and free to love another all because of the ministry of the One who has made us alive in Christ Jesus. We continue to be amazed at what the Lord is teaching us in regards to His complete work of Grace. It is finished.....and we are just beginning!"

Paul

Paul - Langley, BC

"As I’ve been learning more about Jesus and what He accomplished on the cross by grace, I’m learning that there’s a freedom God desires us to live in that’s far more freeing than I’ve ever lived or thought possible; what an amazing eye-opener! Sin has been dealt a ‘death blow’ and it has no dominion over us anymore. Wow! Thank you Lord!


When I would ‘do’ things for God, I found myself feeling like I was in better standing with Him.....But is that right? Is my relationship conditional? No! God’s love/grace is unconditional and I now focus on understanding who I am in Christ, what He’s already accomplished, and resting in Him."

“In my teens my Dad was my pastor, and he LOVED preaching from Romans. Verse by verse I would ‘re-preach’ his sermons in my head and so I got a double teaching of the finished work of Jesus Christ. Then I moved to Norway at 19 and by the age of 20 lived the next 30 years with my Norwegian law conscious husband. Through many years of living overseas and raising five children on two continents it was good to know Jesus was my friend, with no condemnation. But just about two years ago another chapter started in my life. My law-conscious husband experienced a revelation of God’s grace and is now growing in his love relationship with Jesus. What a miracle. God is changing my husband from the inside out – and He wants to do that for you too! Take it from a bystander – there really is a difference between living with law and living under grace."

Adam and Chelsea

Adam & Chelsea - Victoria, BC

"When I first had a glimpse of the grace that God extended to me at the cross I was stunned, "Could it really be that easy? All I have to do is receive Him in His fullness? He has accomplished everything? He is in me and wants to live his life thru me? " As a Christian I use to be so busy doing good deeds for Jesus because I was bound by obligation and Law. With good intentions I found myself trying to get fulfillment in life by doing good works and receiving affirmation from what others thought of me. When I died to all that, Jesus did something amazing. I felt freedom, rest, peace and life. I realized all I needed to do was respond to his gentle Spirit at work within me. He has accepted me, I am righteous because of Him, He died to give me life, He wants me to receive and be blessed, it is finished! I am still on quite a journey but I feel more victorious in this Christian life than ever before."
