Jesus Stories: Inspiration for Multiplying Disciples

Join our Acts 6:4 Assembly as we feast on God’s Word together. Nasser al’Qahtani brings the passion, joy and deep understanding God has given him as he unveils how God has woven the stories of Scripture together to reveal His heart. It’s fascinating! Many came away from Acts 6:4 with an intensified hunger for the Bible. 

Nasser is a Regional Team Leader for the Middle East and North Africa with Multiply. 

Join Derek Parenteau, Trevor Seath & Ryan Jantzi as we reflect on God's activity among us at the ONMB Acts 6:4 Assembly.

A spirit of joy, peace and anticipation was evident as the ONMB churches gathered from across the province to seek God together. As we devoted our time to prayer and the ministry of the Word, God met us. The coolest part... we're hearing of folks stepping out in obedient faith in response to what God said.

Be sure to join us for the 2026 Acts 6:4 Assembly!

What happens when you lead your church to be with the Holy Spirit in prayer, inviting Him to speak and move, rather than prayer by speaking things over or on their behalf? What if our churches came to God without imposing our expectations of what He should say or do among us?

Join Andrew Plett and Sylvia Kirkey o fMountain Park Church in Niagara Falls to hear about their church's prayer journey.

Our culture increasingly avoids direct conversation about and acknowledgment of death. And yet it's everywhere. It's in our music and on our tattoos. As people of death and resurrection, we must learn to die and grieve well. Walking with others through these inevitable experiences is a rich Good News opportunity!
