Bud and Donna Gillam head up the Canadian team of Mission Possible

In Haiti, the ministry now includes eight Christian schools (pre-K through 13th grade), a church at each school, discipleship classes, a Bible Training Center, and a Vocational School. We currently have schools in the communities of Montrouis, St. Marc, Degeance, LaHatte, Lanzac, Dupin, Chardene, and Deyemon.

On the Dominican side of the island, we have a thriving Spanish church and Haitian Creole church, as well as a modern educational facility in Barahona serving students in pre-K through 8th grade.

Mission Possible USA and Mission Possible Canada work together in joint ministry, with members of each Board serving on a management committee which oversees the international work.

Bill and Shirley Pipke

Africa

Ministry Focus: Bill and Shirley are global workers based out of Canada. They believe in equipping the local Canadian church to partner with leaders and church planters at home and around the world. (Currently working in Cuba, Ukraine, Indonesia, Africa and China).

The Pipke’s are working in developing two Africa wide ministries:

BCA (Bridging China and Africa) brings the Canadian, Zambian, and Chinese church together to reach the millions of Chinese workers living in Africa. BCA will meet their social and spiritual needs through a cultural center. The dream is to replicate the BCA ministry strategy across Africa.

CLI (Commissioning a Lifestyle of Integrity) is a vision to raise a movement of integrity across Africa that will counter the epidemic of corruption. An integrity driven generation of leaders in business, church, education, professions, and government will transform the culture.

Bill also works with Loads of Love in providing help to the poor at home and around the world. Loads of Love converts goods to money for missions, serves the poor and ships containers filled with relief supplies where most needed.

DAVID & EILEEN COUREY

Belgium, Eurasia

Ministry History: David and Eileen were saved back in the late 70s as college students. They attended Eastern Pentecostal Bible College, and then began their ministry at Glad Tidings in Sudbury where they spent ten fruitful years loving the North! They then moved to Calvary in Cambridge where they pastored for twenty years loving people and building the kingdom. Having experienced missions trips to Zimbabwe, and Kenya, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, as well a few trips to Romania, they never imagined being global workers. But after completing his Ph.D. at McMaster Divinity College, and sensing the time to move, David taught a course at Continental Theological Seminary in Brussels in May of 2013. By January they were in Belgium and began their missions journey!

Ministry Focus: ReforMISSION Europe - raising up 'NextGen' leaders for changing churches in a thoroughly secular society. Investing their lives in Europe, Eileen and David Courey work through two seminaries in Belgium; one Pentecostal, Continental Theological Seminary in Brussels; the other broadly Protestant, Evangelical Theological Faculty in Leuven. They see their ministry in three dimensions:

Shaping Leaders - Both David and Eileen love people. In college ministry, they meet lots of young men and women filled with passion and promise and they love to fan those flames into a blaze. Their home is always open and they have built great life-sharing relationships with young leaders that will grow over the years.

Encouraging Churches - Churches in Europe are often small and struggling. David preaches motivational, practical, biblical messages in European (mostly Belgian) churches virtually every Sunday. All over Europe he and Eileen have made friends with pastors, leaders and folk they’ve encouraged in the journey.

Building Foundations - David’s heart has always been to model spiritual passion, pastoral effectiveness and theological rigour. He does that as a teacher, but also as an author and thought leader with students, pastors and churches. Building strong foundations for spiritual vitality strengthens believers in this highly secular environment.

Ministry History: Linda came to the Philippines on a one year commitment to help her friends start a home for children. After one year she was asked to stay as her friends were no longer able to stay and continue the work. That was 30 years ago and Linda is still giving leadership to the Home. She has adopted 2 children of her own. God has been so faithful and to date more than 250 children have lived in the Home and more than 750 children have received educational and emergency assistance. We have a beautiful spacious home where many lives have been changed both physically and spiritually.

Ministry Focus: Linda is the Director of Noah's Ark Ministries, located in Banaue, Ifugao, Philippines. She has been in the Philippines for the past 30 years and has an adopted son and daughter.

Noah's Ark Ministries runs a temporary Home for Children for orphaned, abandoned, malnourished, special needs and educationally disadvantaged children. There are presently 10 babies and toddlers, 22 elementary and high school students, 6 college students and 16 special needs children. The high school students come from single parent families and live in very far-flung villages. In the home they receive proper nutrition, education and love. The special needs children mostly suffer from cerebral palsy to different degrees. Through this ministry the children are given a chance for a brighter future and have an opportunity to come into a relationship with God.

Noah's Ark Ministries also provides educational scholarships to students from single parent families or families in crisis. This scholarship is provided through the ChildCARE Plus program. Also 25 babies and toddlers are given milk, vitamins and health care. Noah's Ark also runs a daycare as a community service.
