St. John's NFLD Daughter Church - Talking with Matt Lahey

On Episode 28, I interviewed Steve Bray about planting in St. John's and starting a church planting network to reach Newfoundland and Labrador and today on the show is Matt Lahey who has planted a church in St. John's as part of Mile One Mission. We cover how Matt got to Newfoundland, the spiritual history of his part of the city, why they renamed their church and much more. A very insightful episode to understand church planting on the East Coast of Canada.

A site that is becoming a plant - Talking with Kevin Dejonge

Kevin took an unusual path to church planting and pastoral ministry and we talk about how he ended up as the pastor and planter for Grace Village Church. And we cover the method by which Grace Village is being planted, slowly transitioning from a site of Grace Valley Church to something more independent. We also cover how they got a building so quickly and how larger city churches should think about small towns nearby.

Book Report: Church Planting During the Birth of Canada

We don't often think of Presbyterians as aggressive church planters, but at the dawn of Canada, while the railroad was being built, James Robertson helped the Presbyterian Church plant and build churches across Canada at an unbelievable rate. I tell his story based on his biography. If you'd like to purchase the biography, you can find reprints on Amazon [https://www.amazon.ca/Robertson-Missionary-Superintendent-Northwest-Territories/dp/B00AI0KGBU/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1N2257SH6GSUO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BxrQnzfup0Kmg9SCxnVxBV9W0oNpbPvMNJHmboymI5HO356q-2rz4iIdFE9zRPPfS800af4afu847ow8Ob-1-Lfv_lsalGR6IP59AOEG_O43tO_kdSOlosnCLYCWkscr4pJEunQU0lchgVnhSSCK8A.BZvt401VoXZ_VENqwByDZMhrotDVu2VCSAuZoiqjtes&dib_tag=se&keywords=james+robertson+superintendent&qid=1742089610&sprefix=james+robertson+superintendent%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1].  If you'd like to get in touch with the Grace Network, you can find them online at gracenetwork.ca If you'd like to get in touch with Ben or the podcast, please email canadianchurchplanting@gmail.com.
