Missions

The word 'Missions' can creates some pretty powerful images for people. Images like living and working in the far, isolated reaches of the world. While it is true that Pacific Church is a part of a network of people who live out their faith throughout the world, we also strongly believe that each of us, as a follower of Jesus, is called to missions. Our personal mission is being the person God calls us to be in whatever place we do life.

Habitat for Humanity

Pacific Church is partnering with Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver on Saturday, June 19th
If you want to help eliminate poverty housing in Canada and are excited about making a tangible, valuable difference in the lives of hard working, low-income families, then come lend us a helping hand! All you need to bring is an enthusiastic and adventurous attitude, along with the desire to contribute some physical effort.    No experience is necessary.

Street Light Ministry: Downtown Eastside

Let us introduce you to a few of Pacific's 'missionaries.'

Greg

After growing up in Coquitlam, the Lord called Greg specifically to serve Istanbul during a worship night. Greg looks forward to ministering to Muslims in the city through evangelism and a healing prayer ministry. After the initial 2 years of language learning, Greg plans to stay in Turkey on a work visa as an actuary. Greg will be initially living with a Turkish family to accelerate the language and cultural learning process. The church-planting team Greg is joining is passionate to see the Holy Spirit bring supernatural revival to all of Turkish society. Pray for the team as it deals with threats from the community regularly. Turkey is presently 99.3% Muslim. Out of the entire population of 70,000,000, there are presently 3,000 Turkish Christians.

Prayer Requests
•    Encouragement for the missionaries and Turkish believers who face consistent threats and opposition from the community
•    That Christians would be seen as a blessing to city of Istanbul in the eyes of business leaders and government officials
•    Praise the Lord for continued healings, signs, and wonders demonstrating the power of the Spirit of Christ to the Turkish people.
•    Pray that Greg would meet 1 close Christian brother to be a source of fellowship during language learning
•    Pray for favour with making new Muslim friends in the community
