The Impact of Church Unity

Richard shares how One Way Ministries has been building networks among pastors, ministries, and churches in Ottawa for over 28 years. One key focus has been supporting pastors' spouses, recognizing their well-being as a crucial factor in pastoral longevity. A pastor's wife shared how the support she received in Ottawa was so valuable that she wanted to return to the city, demonstrating how unity fosters stability in ministry.

Friends for Dinner: Reaching International Students

🌍 A simple idea with a big impact: Families from different churches invite international students for a meal during Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving. This hospitality evangelism initiative introduces students to the meaning of these holidays and has reached hundreds of students over the years.

Embrace Ottawa: Caring for Seniors in Long-Term Care

🏥 After seeing the effects of COVID-19 on seniors, churches in Ottawa have been adopting nursing homes to provide consistent support, chapel services, and companionship for residents. With over 70 long-term care facilities in the city, the vision is for every church to take part in ensuring no senior is left isolated.

Collaboration: The Key to Greater Impact

Many smaller churches feel they lack resources, but when one or two members from each church come together, they can achieve far greater impact. This networked approach allows congregations to be part of something bigger than themselves.
