REACH FORWARD
This is the word the Lord gave me for 2021. REACH FORWARD. Counting 10 years from this year, prepare for a decade!
The scripture reference is Philippians 3:12 – 14.
To reach means to stretch out in a specified direction in order to touch or grasp something; extend, outstretch, get as far as, the extent or range of application, effect, or influence, capacity, authority.
The only limit in reaching forward will be the limits that you and I place on ourselves so lets take the limits off!
I pray that we will REACH FORWARD in every area of our lives, in the harvest fields, to bring in the harvest for the time is NOW!.
I decree supernatural miracles as we reach forward. I decree repositioning, realignment; renewing, refreshing, reviving, recharging, replenishing everything that was lost. Restoration of all the years that got wasted; revisiting of dreams, prophetic words and visions to take it back up and run with it. Resurrection power operating in every area of our lives and more…… REACH FORWARD! Hallelujah, Thank You Lord!
Receive this word if you would like to and ask the Lord to personalise it for you. I am excited – adventures await as we continue our journey of working with the Lord in our Father’s Business.

Missionary Cris Gensaya
Cris together with her husband Rex and her children arrived in Canada from the Philippines. Cris has dedicated her life to serving the Lord as a missionary to do ‘whatever it takes’ to share the good news of the Gospel and help people to grow in their walk with the Lord. Cris has a heart of compassion to help the poor who Jesus said we will have with us always.
Cris’ desire is to see the captives set free, to heal the broken hearted as mentioned in Isaiah 61 and Luke 4. Her zeal to minister to people on the streets has encouraged others to join in and enjoy a lifetime adventure of ministering with the Lord to those who need care and good news the most.
Studying the Word being a priority for Cris, she is currently enrolled in a Hebrew class which is the beginning of the fulfillment of a dream.
Thank You!
We are very grateful for all the feedback we have received on the 1st Newsletter sent in December 2020. Your encouragement and support is very much appreciated. Please continue to provide feedback so that we can learn, improve and excel in what the Lord has called us to do together.
Thank you for the financial blessings you have sent via etransfers, paypal, cheques and gift certificates which we will use to purchase things to distribute to the people we are ministering to.
DECEMBER 25, 2020 CHRISTMAS OUTREACH
Our Christmas Outreach was a success! Mission accomplished! December 25th morning a team of 5 missionaries did a street outreach to distribute a hot breakfast meal and coffee plus fruit, candy, a $5 Tim Horton’s gift card and the most important, Gospel of John to 30 people.
It was freezing cold and sad to see so many people out on the streets, some sleeping on the hard sidewalk on just a sheet and covered with a thin blanket. We saw grateful faces especially when they received the hot coffee.
We are praying for everyone to whom we have given Care Packs with the gospel, daily bread or a tract. Please join us in praying for them.
He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
And He will pay back what he has given. Proverbs 19:17
We can never out give the Lord. Jesus gave us everything! The 4 pictures below are from the December 25th outreach.
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. – Philippians 2:4
To everyone who has asked how you can join/partner/help to minister, here are some ways you can consider.
Pray for the Mission as we continue to serve the Lord. Pray for the people who need care and that as we sow the Word those receiving the Gospel will “Behold the Lamb of God”.
You could also add your offering to ours so it multiplies and empowers us to go further and help more people.

ROLL AWAY THE STONE
John 11:39a
Jesus said, “Take ye away the stone”.When Jesus said to take away the stone to Lazarus tomb, He knew full well the miracle that was about to take place.
As you begin this year, He is calling you and I to roll away the stone from hidden places in our lives, that we may not even be aware of. Areas the enemy has lulled us into which is a place of complacency, a mindset that “this is just me” or “this is my lot”.
I encourage you to listen to that still small voice that is nudging you to forgive a loved one that has hurt you. To let go that offence that is lingering at the back of your mind. To confess that habit you know is offensive to the Lord. Partner with the Lord this year and your cup will run over with joy.
Align your mind with the Word of God and you will see the trajectory of your life change dramatically. Be willing to leave the past in the past. You cannot reach forward if you are still holding onto things in the past. This the year of change for you.Isaiah 43:18 & 1918 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.Make a decree, a declaration over your life!
Dreams and breakthrough come forth
Healing come forth
Finances come forth
Life come forth
Joy come forth
Are you willing to roll away the stone?
Be blessed!
