Transcript

00:00:00.000 You know, the courts have not been really friendly to any of the freedom movements and that.
00:00:05.920 But you know what?
00:00:06.720 We're grateful that February 14th on Valentine's Day of all days at 10 o'clock in the morning, we've been given a gift.
00:00:14.360 We will be back in court and Rocco will be present there.
00:00:17.760 So we are asking you, based on this scripture as well, be in prayer for Action for Canada.
00:00:23.920 We will be in court and we are believing God that we will have victory.
00:00:28.380 And all we need is one court case to go in favor and we will see freedom for Canadians.
00:00:34.800 I'd like to read off.
00:00:36.400 It's a statement from Tanya.
00:00:37.940 So, yes, our court case is not dead in the water.
00:00:40.760 It is actually alive.
00:00:42.440 It's been resurrected.
00:00:44.020 And really, it's the persistence.
00:00:45.580 Like we were discussing, Dan, we heard the story about the persistent widow who continued against the unjust judge.
00:00:53.040 We heard that yesterday in the Sunday service.
00:00:55.900 And, you know, just we were talking later about how that's just so relevant to the case with Tanya that, you know, just being persistent all the way through with all that opposition, with unjust scales and unjust judges, you know, not willing to hear.
00:01:11.680 And then lots of different legal games and maneuvers that are being played.
00:01:16.000 We do.
00:01:16.860 We just we did get that appeals date set.
00:01:19.800 And so I'll just read this for you.
00:01:21.320 So Action for Canada filed the appeal on September 28th, 2022.
00:01:26.220 And the respondents filed their response by January of 2023.
00:01:31.480 The appeal could have been heard before the appeal court within six months.
00:01:36.440 However, given the number of lawyers for the respondents, it became difficult finding a date where all parties were available as required by the court.
00:01:45.640 So Rocco's office consistently made every effort to work with all parties involved.
00:01:51.300 If a court date is not set within a year, the file is automatically put on what's called an inactive list.
00:01:57.620 So this transpired on September 28th, 2023, and was due to the ongoing delays in setting a date.
00:02:04.580 So as soon as the case was deemed inactive, Rocco immediately sought consent to have the case put back on the active list, as well as insisting on available dates from counsel for the hearing of the appeal.
00:02:17.980 So on October 18th of 2023 this year, all lawyers signed the consent to take the court, the case off the inactive list, as well as all the counsel provided available dates in which a mutual date was found between all the parties.
00:02:32.320 And like Dan mentioned, that notice of hearing of appeal was immediately filed.
00:02:36.700 And on October 19th, the appeals court confirmed the date of February 14th, 2024 at 10 a.m.
00:02:43.580 And again, at no time was the case ever abandoned.
00:02:47.400 Action for Canada and Rocco Galati are actively pursuing the advancement of this legal action because we are told in Scripture that we need to act justly, pursue justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before the Lord.
00:03:00.320 And so we will continue to pursue justice, and we will trust that the Lord is the just judge who will bring favor and a hearing to our complaint.
00:03:14.120 Welcome, everyone.
00:03:15.560 It's so great to have you join us for today's show, whether it's your first time here or if you're a seasoned freedom fighter.
00:03:23.000 It's October 25th, 2023, and this is the Empower Hour.
00:03:28.380 Action for Canada is a grassroots movement reaching out to millions of Canadians and uniting our voices in opposition to the destructive policies tearing at the fabric of our nation.
00:03:41.120 Through call-to-action campaigns, we educate, equip, mobilize, and empower citizens to take action.
00:03:48.560 We are committed to protecting faith, family, and freedom.
00:03:52.480 We invite you to join Action for Canada's ongoing marriage seminar, airing Tuesday evenings at 4 p.m. Pacific Time, 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
00:04:03.940 Log in to our website for more information and to pre-register.
00:04:07.660 Tanya is halfway through her Vancouver Island tour.
00:04:13.460 Tonight, she'll be at the Nanus Bay Pentecostal Camp.
00:04:17.120 The doors open at 6.30, and Tanya will be giving her presentation and a time of Q&A at 7 o'clock.
00:04:24.460 Tomorrow, she'll be in Comox, and on Friday, she'll be in Black Creek.
00:04:29.260 Be sure to go to the Action for Canada website for more details and to attend the tour so you can show your love and support for Tanya.
00:04:38.760 We have a great show planned for you tonight, and I'm so pleased to introduce two amazing members of the Action for Canada team.
00:04:45.980 First, Kim McBride.
00:04:48.180 Kim is our National Chapters Coordinator.
00:04:51.840 She's a mother, teacher, and a woman of faith.
00:04:54.340 And next is Pastor Dan Vachon.
00:04:57.620 Dan is our Chapter Provincial Lead, as well as a retired pastor, missionary, and paramedic.
00:05:03.960 Tonight's show was pre-recorded, so there will be no Q&A.
00:05:08.060 So now I invite you to sit back and get comfortable, and let's get on with the show.
00:05:15.380 Welcome, Canadians, to another exciting Action for Canada, Wednesday edition of the Empower Hour.
00:05:21.700 I am obviously not Tanya Gah, as Tanya Gah is touring Vancouver Island today, but I am your host this evening from Cape Breton Island with our other host this afternoon, I guess.
00:05:35.340 Kim McBride, who is also here on the East Coast, right here in our home, Cape Breton.
00:05:41.640 So, Kim McBride, welcome to the show also this afternoon.
00:05:44.700 Thank you very much.
00:05:45.560 And it's very lovely to be here, just in God's country for sure, and just enjoying the time and the holiday that I, little break in the norm that I was able to have to be here.
00:05:56.280 So I'm just so grateful for your hospitality, Dan.
00:05:59.080 It's so good to meet you in person as well.
00:06:01.420 Thank you.
00:06:01.980 And we've been having a great time enjoying the colors here, the fall colors of the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Island.
00:06:07.220 So it's been great to enjoy God's wonderful handiwork in this patchwork of beautiful colors here at Cape Breton.
00:06:13.680 So we've got an exciting show here this afternoon, and we're so glad that you've joined us.
00:06:19.020 So this afternoon, we're going to be discussing how Action for Canada has been joining together with churches across the nation, partnering with pastors, and how our chapters have been growing as a result of it.
00:06:31.720 You're going to hear testimonies of how God has blessed churches and how our chapter leaders have become excited about seeing growth in their chapters as well across the country.
00:06:43.060 And so we're going to introduce to you, we're going to start, I guess, on the West Coast with Pastor Randy Beattie, who is not a stranger to Action for Canada.
00:06:53.700 And we're going to hear his testimony a little bit, but Pastor Beattie, as you come on the show this evening, I want to, or this, I keep saying this evening because here on the West Coast, it's going to be evening.
00:07:06.400 We're four hours ahead, but Pastor Beattie, just reading a little bit of your bio, and I'm going to get you to share a little bit about your story here in a moment.
00:07:13.820 But you and I have a little bit in common because you are the son of a pastor, and I was the son of a pastor as well.
00:07:20.660 Now, he's gone on to be with the Lord for quite a number of years, but you came to know Christ when you were 10 years old, and so was I.
00:07:27.240 But I wonder, just before we get into your story a little bit, tell us a little bit about who you are, where you are in Canada, and how you came to be a pastor.
00:07:40.320 Yeah, thank you very much for allowing me to be on here with my wife.
00:07:44.900 And it's really exciting to be a part of Action for Canada and what you guys are doing across this great nation.
00:07:57.380 My name is Randy Beattie.
00:07:58.920 Of course, as you know, I did get saved in 1965 at the age of 10.
00:08:04.000 It was during revival meetings.
00:08:06.140 We had an evangelist up from California at the time, and that's where I gave my life to Christ.
00:08:11.660 I was baptized in the Holy Spirit.
00:08:13.580 I felt the call of God.
00:08:15.320 I didn't really want to be a pastor.
00:08:17.440 My dad was a pastor, and I saw what it was like to be a pastor.
00:08:21.500 I thought the visiting evangelist had a better gig, you know, if I can put it that way.
00:08:27.320 They got to come in and, you know, share the Word of God and have some exciting meetings and then move on.
00:08:33.380 But God opened the door for me to pastor, and I've been doing it now for 40 years.
00:08:38.020 I've been in Living Waters Fellowship here on Black Creek on Vancouver Island for the last 30, 31 years.
00:08:45.260 And God's grace has helped me to be faithfully serving the community here on Vancouver Island.
00:08:54.380 So, Pastor Beattie, in all of the years that you had been pastoring prior to about three and a half years ago,
00:09:00.700 had anybody ever come to your church to tell you to shut down your church?
00:09:08.440 I've never had any official or anyone tell us to shut down a church.
00:09:14.900 All right.
00:09:15.640 So, three and a half years ago, that happened.
00:09:17.940 So, tell us about what happened across the country.
00:09:21.360 I mean, that happened to churches all across the nation.
00:09:24.340 And so, tell us a little bit about that and how you came to know about Action for Canada.
00:09:28.760 Well, anyways, like everyone else, I guess it was three years ago or something like that,
00:09:35.760 where we were told to shut down our churches.
00:09:41.940 They said it would only be temporary.
00:09:44.280 It would flatten the curve in two weeks.
00:09:46.860 Of course, that went on for months and months.
00:09:48.600 And it didn't take us long, maybe a month into it after trying to do a few Zoom services,
00:09:56.200 which really did not cut it, that I just felt that God wanted us to open the doors.
00:10:02.880 I felt that God had called us to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together as some were in the habit of doing.
00:10:11.060 And so, we just opened up.
00:10:13.540 And as a result, eventually, we had police officers show up in our lobby, give us some information,
00:10:21.100 and basically tell us that we're going to be fined if we keep opening.
00:10:26.040 But we did keep opening.
00:10:27.640 And I got threatening phone calls.
00:10:29.660 I got phone calls from the police, from health officers.
00:10:33.160 We're going to get fined so much money, and each individual is going to get fined.
00:10:36.820 But we just kept opening the doors.
00:10:39.560 And fortunately, for some reason, they never did shut us down.
00:10:45.780 I never got thrown in jail.
00:10:47.860 We never did get a fine.
00:10:49.900 And I just never felt like I was being all that courageous.
00:10:54.120 I just felt like I was being obedient to what God wanted me to do.
00:10:58.400 And so, we just kept having our Sunday morning services, our Sunday night prayer meetings.
00:11:04.360 And we continued to gather, and God blessed us.
00:11:08.040 And as a result, we did not decrease in numbers.
00:11:11.820 We've increased.
00:11:12.900 We've more than doubled.
00:11:14.440 Our finances went up tremendously.
00:11:17.480 Just recently, God enabled us to hire a full-time associate pastor, Brad White.
00:11:24.200 And he's had some involvement with my wife in Action for Canada as well.
00:11:27.960 So, being a part of Action for Canada has been a tremendous support to us.
00:11:34.200 Tanya Gaw has been a great support to our church.
00:11:37.320 She's been here.
00:11:38.960 She came with Brian Pecker one time, and the place was just bursting at the seams.
00:11:43.920 And as a result, many people started coming to our church.
00:11:48.060 Many gave their life to Christ.
00:11:49.980 Many were baptized in water as a result.
00:11:52.800 And so, it's been a real blessing.
00:11:55.000 And I think it's as a result of us being courageous, I guess, to some extent, but mostly obedient.
00:12:01.680 And God has honored that, and God has blessed that.
00:12:05.180 Amen.
00:12:06.000 So, when was the first time that you could point to that you'd say you heard about Action for Canada?
00:12:12.440 I think it was around March of 2020, if I remember right.
00:12:22.260 And I know that we met with Tanya Gaw in Vancouver, in Newest Minister, actually, at a function that was there.
00:12:33.620 Derek Salon was giving a talk, and Tanya Gaw was there.
00:12:36.740 And that's the first time that I actually met with her.
00:12:39.800 Might have had contact with her before that.
00:12:42.860 I think my wife, Diane, had met her at that time.
00:12:46.020 All right.
00:12:48.580 And you were able to use some of the resources at the time, or past your webinar?
00:12:53.380 Oh, yeah, the resources would have been tremendous help.
00:12:56.460 All kinds of resources.
00:12:59.140 She, of course, gave us some legal advice through one of the lawyers.
00:13:06.760 Rocco, I guess his name is.
00:13:08.560 A famous constitutional lawyer.
00:13:10.280 In fact, I'm one of the plaintiffs that says he's going to court.
00:13:14.780 I guess it keeps being delayed, but I think there's another date coming up here in 2024.
00:13:21.820 Tell me a little bit about addressing some of the, not, well, perhaps COVID issues at the time,
00:13:29.880 but some of the other issues now that our churches are facing today,
00:13:34.580 that Action for Canada is addressing as well as a church.
00:13:37.660 Because, you know, we've kind of gone on beyond COVID now.
00:13:41.240 Now, I understand some of the provinces are trying to push the mandates a little bit.
00:13:45.160 But, you know, with Action for Canada, now we're also addressing some of the other issues
00:13:49.740 that are hot-button topics in our country.
00:13:52.920 You know, the SOGI 123, the WINSEC said in Ontario,
00:13:57.960 the political, the rise of political Islam in our country,
00:14:02.080 and some of the other issues that we're facing right now.
00:14:05.220 Now, so some of those issues that we are, I'm not going to say promoting,
00:14:13.220 but that we're providing resources for, a lot of churches don't want to touch those issues.
00:14:19.000 So how are our resources able to help pastors in addressing those issues?
00:14:26.000 Well, I think when you gain knowledge, it gives you power.
00:14:34.180 And that's what most of us as pastors need.
00:14:38.340 And most pastors don't have the time to go and research all this stuff.
00:14:43.120 So it's good to have someone like Tanya Gaw and Action for Canada
00:14:48.000 and all those that are helping with her to provide us with the information that we need
00:14:53.220 in regards to immigration, SOGI, and smart cities,
00:14:58.460 and some of these other issues where it feels like there's a lot of government overreach.
00:15:04.540 And in the past, we've had at least four members of our church run for our school board,
00:15:11.240 and it had directly had something to do with SOGI, of course.
00:15:15.160 We wanted to stand up for our children.
00:15:18.520 And unfortunately, none of them won, but some of them got fairly close.
00:15:25.040 But the point was that they got out there, their voice was heard,
00:15:28.360 and we brought SOGI to the forefront.
00:15:31.160 And a lot of parents did not realize what was going on in the school.
00:15:35.660 So I think for the church here, it's been a tremendous help.
00:15:39.620 So there's been a little bit of opposition because sometimes people think,
00:15:43.660 well, you're getting involved in politics.
00:15:46.320 But I think we are salt and we are light,
00:15:49.120 and we need to be involved in every part of society, and that includes politics.
00:15:53.800 I don't think we should shy away from that.
00:15:56.140 We need to speak up for life, for truth, for righteousness, for justice.
00:16:01.160 And sometimes as a pastor, you've got to just leave.
00:16:04.680 And there may be some that will.
00:16:06.540 And we have had some leave the church as a result of us staying open.
00:16:10.960 They thought we were being, you know, careless and endangering our community.
00:16:15.740 But overall, I've had tremendous support from our church.
00:16:20.760 Our entire board has always been on side.
00:16:23.220 And so that has been a help.
00:16:25.300 So I do feel for some of the pastors across Canada,
00:16:28.880 maybe they didn't have that kind of support,
00:16:31.620 so it made it more difficult for them.
00:16:33.320 But at some point, we just need to stand up and speak truth.
00:16:39.200 And Action for Canada provides all kinds of resources.
00:16:43.000 You can go online and you could spend hours and hours
00:16:46.360 and also listening things like Empower Our Health as well
00:16:50.540 and the pastor webinars.
00:16:52.440 I'm glad to hear you say that because pastors can't really do it all.
00:16:57.900 And as a pastor, you know, you've got the responsibility to preach the Scripture
00:17:02.140 and preach God's Word.
00:17:03.460 And there are these pressing issues that pastors are facing,
00:17:06.960 congregants are facing as well.
00:17:08.440 And one of the things that we endorse for pastors as well
00:17:13.240 is we're wanting to have these spaces for our chapters to meet that are,
00:17:20.140 you know, I hate to use this term, but safe spaces where people that are awake
00:17:26.940 can gather together and become informed of those things.
00:17:30.140 And so we have been asking for pastors to open up their doors,
00:17:34.120 for chapters to meet together.
00:17:36.960 And so we have had some of those places open up for us and to hold,
00:17:43.500 for example, Tanya's on tour right now on the island, on Vancouver Island.
00:17:48.320 And where we have had, when Tanya toured down here in the east,
00:17:52.000 you know, we had one particular location that we had rented in an hour before the event.
00:17:56.480 They decided, no, we want to cancel the event.
00:17:59.120 Now, we were still able to have it.
00:18:00.560 But already there on the island, one of the events has been canceled
00:18:03.820 because it's not in a church.
00:18:05.940 And so a church is a protected area.
00:18:08.500 It's a protected space.
00:18:10.480 And so in your particular situation, it's a prime example.
00:18:15.540 You've gone a step further and you actually have an Action for Canada chapter
00:18:20.100 right there in your church.
00:18:22.380 And you've got a, I understand, a really good chapter leader there.
00:18:27.140 Your wife is a chapter leader.
00:18:29.360 So I'd like to have Diane come there.
00:18:32.320 And now to have the pastor and the chapter leader work together at this call.
00:18:36.380 So you guys must really get along fairly well, I'd have to say, right?
00:18:41.020 I just obey.
00:18:43.020 Okay.
00:18:43.500 And if there's any other comments here, we can take it offline afterwards, right?
00:18:49.560 But this is a great combination.
00:18:52.160 And this is what we like to see across the nation,
00:18:55.100 where we have churches that work in collaboration with Action Canada.
00:18:58.560 And so, Diane, maybe you can just let us know a little bit about how you became a chapter leader.
00:19:07.560 And this is kind of Kim's department here, you know, because Kim runs our chapters nationally.
00:19:14.180 You know, I kind of work with the pastors and I try to introduce our chapters into churches
00:19:20.340 and churches into chapters, but I work very closely with Kim,
00:19:24.800 who is establishing a working, you know, a working relationship with chapters across the country.
00:19:29.760 So it's kind of a partnership and we work together.
00:19:32.500 So this is a beautiful way of doing it.
00:19:34.960 So, Diane, maybe tell us a little bit more about yourself.
00:19:38.920 And then I'm going to get Kim to just kind of take it from there
00:19:41.500 to see how the chapter in Campbell River works
00:19:45.140 and for you how you work together in a relationship.
00:19:48.500 So, Diane, tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:19:51.860 Well, I was born in England and immigrated to Canada at six years old.
00:19:57.400 My father was an engineer and I had three brothers.
00:20:01.480 And we grew up and my mother, my mom is here,
00:20:05.560 and she had a mental illness most of her life.
00:20:08.800 And I think part of it was being growing up during the time of the war.
00:20:13.160 And she was, you know, then moved here, taken away from her family.
00:20:17.580 So we kind of struggled as a family.
00:20:20.400 But at 17 years old, the best thing in my entire life happened.
00:20:25.340 I met Jesus Christ.
00:20:27.240 He has transformed my life.
00:20:29.620 And ever since then, I have a passion to let people know about Jesus
00:20:33.540 because without him, there is no life, really.
00:20:36.900 It really begins with him.
00:20:38.380 So, coming forward to today, I've worked with, I've worked in a Christian school
00:20:47.020 as a librarian for 14 years at Campbell River Christian School.
00:20:50.380 I am an educational assistant presently.
00:20:54.520 And I'm the mother of three kids and five grandkids, five plus grandkids, hopefully.
00:21:00.620 And we are just believing God for good things.
00:21:04.440 But getting involved with Action for Canada has definitely been a super blessing.
00:21:09.540 It's good to see you, Diane.
00:21:18.220 Yeah, we're actually on two separate parts of the country.
00:21:22.100 I'm on Cape Breton Island and you're on Vancouver Island.
00:21:24.780 But the thing that I love so much about working with Action for Canada is that I get to see
00:21:30.720 from coast to coast all these phenomenal leaders and people of faith that have risen to the
00:21:36.640 occasion to take on the calling of building communities of like-minded people to push back
00:21:44.200 against these destructive policies and forces that are at work in our nation.
00:21:49.020 And it's not just COVID.
00:21:50.160 I think that kind of revealed it for us, put the spotlight on all the levels of corruption
00:21:56.180 that we've seen in our nation.
00:21:58.200 And so, in the work I get to do, I get to meet people like you who have heeded the call.
00:22:04.760 You heard it.
00:22:05.460 You felt that whatever it was, the spark that got you going, maybe the call of God to step up
00:22:11.400 and to be kind of that lighthouse in your community.
00:22:14.460 And so, what I'm really intrigued by is what drew you out from just kind of maybe just
00:22:22.040 attending rallies but to actually step forward into a leadership position.
00:22:26.200 And then how did that work inside a church, inside a congregation like your church that
00:22:35.820 you go to?
00:22:36.320 So, how did that all kind of come about and how did you hear about Action for Canada?
00:22:40.280 Well, I started going to different rallies and as far as SOGI, we've kind of been involved
00:22:47.040 with that for about seven years.
00:22:48.640 And it's always been a concern on my heart, what they're teaching our children.
00:22:54.360 But we've been going to rallies with the lockdowns, of course.
00:22:58.980 And, you know, it's the call of God for us to go into the world, not to lock away the world.
00:23:04.440 And so, Action for Canada is a vehicle that brings you right into communities and peace
00:23:10.580 around people that you would have never met before.
00:23:12.900 So, I was going to rallies with different groups.
00:23:17.380 But there's something about the kinship of Christ and being able to bring him into it
00:23:24.580 because he is the truth.
00:23:25.560 And we know what's happening.
00:23:27.060 The Bible clearly tells us what's happening in the last days.
00:23:29.960 And I believe that we are, you know, seeing it all around us in every way, every form.
00:23:35.420 And the Bible is the only book that has the answers.
00:23:38.240 So, Tanya Gah and I met.
00:23:41.540 I texted her and we got into contact online and giving us some ideas how to navigate the storm.
00:23:50.740 And Randy said we went over to Vancouver and we got to meet her.
00:23:57.040 And she's just such a wonderful, tenacious, courageous woman, such an inspiration.
00:24:05.640 We allowed a meeting to happen in our church.
00:24:08.960 I think we first allowed an action for Canada meeting early on.
00:24:16.880 And the leader had stepped down.
00:24:19.220 And then they were asking for a different leader.
00:24:21.160 And I just kept on hearing the nudge of the Lord saying, you know, if not you, then who?
00:24:26.800 Kind of like, and I'm like, well, Lord, I cannot do that.
00:24:29.460 I'm not good.
00:24:30.560 I like to work in the background.
00:24:32.260 I like to work one-on-one with people.
00:24:33.900 I don't like to be up front.
00:24:35.040 But I just kept on hearing, if not you, then who?
00:24:39.560 And I just share a little tiny bit.
00:24:41.520 My father was at the end of the Second World War.
00:24:44.640 He drove a tank and he was in Germany.
00:24:47.440 And he saw the atrocities that were happening.
00:24:50.740 He would ask the people over there, how did you let it get like this?
00:24:54.880 And one of the things that he was told over and over again is we thought somebody would do something about it.
00:25:00.140 So my father always told me, you be the someone that does something about it.
00:25:05.540 And so I'm asking all Canadians, come on, guys, you be the someone that can do something about it.
00:25:11.820 And we can see this transform, this nation.
00:25:14.980 We can see the power when we work together.
00:25:17.360 Yeah, so well said.
00:25:18.620 I really think that resonates all the way out here.
00:25:22.160 I can feel the power of those words, as if not you, then who?
00:25:26.320 And we're in a place where we can't just be waiting for somebody else to be the Savior.
00:25:32.660 We have one Savior, and that's Jesus Christ.
00:25:35.440 And, of course, he'll draw all men unto him.
00:25:38.100 And he will be the one that transforms things.
00:25:41.560 But, of course, we've seen that Canada is a Christian nation with Christian heritage, Christian foundations.
00:25:47.220 But we've kind of lost our moorings there.
00:25:49.880 And so there's many areas where our chapters are pushing back and really defending the core of who we are, our core identity, regardless of what Justin Trudeau says, that we have no core identity.
00:26:01.780 That's just flat out a lie.
00:26:03.600 We very much have a core identity.
00:26:06.060 It's inscribed on every wall of the parliament buildings that's scripture through and through.
00:26:11.380 And it's a good word.
00:26:13.620 It's a good word for us to live by.
00:26:15.560 And so, yeah, to step up into that, to defend that freedom that I think maybe as Canadians we've taken for granted, it really is a grassroots movement.
00:26:26.240 And I think what you said was really interesting, you know, that wrestling match with the Lord.
00:26:30.560 I'm not skilled enough, I'm not talented enough, or I've never done this before.
00:26:34.840 But you got over that by just saying simply, yes, I'll step up to it.
00:26:39.620 And then from that point onward, what were the supports that you received with Action for Canada?
00:26:45.280 How has it started to develop?
00:26:47.120 And are you more comfortable now in your position than when you first started?
00:26:52.000 Oh, definitely.
00:26:52.640 Well, we have a really amazing team.
00:26:54.760 What we do here at Living Waters is once a month we open our doors to both Courtney and Cam River.
00:26:59.600 So we have a combined group, which is able to reach more people, and even around the Black Creek area.
00:27:07.220 So that's been a super great blessing.
00:27:11.320 In each community, we've been giving out notices of liability to different, you know, with the vaccine things.
00:27:19.660 And we've gone to businesses with some small business support and help.
00:27:24.060 And we're going to city hall meetings.
00:27:27.680 And we have been in the past going to the school board meetings.
00:27:32.420 And we're about to do that again.
00:27:35.120 So, yeah, we're always looking for more help.
00:27:37.760 There's a lot of people that are signed up for Action for Canada.
00:27:41.020 But we really need you guys to be engaged more.
00:27:44.300 The more boots on the ground we get, the better it's going to happen across Canada.
00:27:48.660 The fire is going to go across Canada.
00:27:50.120 Yeah, I agree.
00:27:52.360 And then there's also the training that happens by just simply maybe being that flyer delivery person or holding the sign and starting to meet like-minded people and sharing the ideas that will help get back your local community.
00:28:06.560 So as much as there's a lot going on in the nation, it's really trying to focus on getting to know your neighbor and knowing who you can count on when you get into those difficult situations.
00:28:16.800 If the government does continue to be tyrannical, who are the people that you can work with to protect your local communities?
00:28:24.620 And so you have to get to know each other.
00:28:25.880 Sometimes we've lived in a siloed kind of society, and we've had a great opportunity now to be able to unify, bring people back together, back to that sense of community, to have that unity in community.
00:28:40.820 And I think those are some of the great opportunities.
00:28:44.220 And also to share the support that people need.
00:28:48.340 This is a very difficult time.
00:28:50.140 Many people have lots of brokenness in their lives.
00:28:53.160 And so finding that, again, using the word, but the safe space, the place where there is genuine, true, authentic safety in the numbers and in the fellowship of like-minded people.
00:29:05.020 So is there an aspect of that in your chapter in terms of just even fellowshipping?
00:29:11.560 Yes.
00:29:11.800 Well, what happens is they will come into the chapter meeting, and a lot of times they get friends, and they start to realize, hey, this is my tribe.
00:29:19.840 That's basically what's happened over and over again.
00:29:22.600 When we had the big rally with Brian Petford and Tanya Goff here, we had, I don't know how many people, I couldn't count this, how many people felt like they just felt like they, like, oh, we're home.
00:29:34.820 Like, this is home.
00:29:36.080 And a lot of those people came, have come to the Lord, and they are now fellowshipping.
00:29:40.500 We've had over and over again people come, you know, they've been at Action for Canada and met people and then come to church as well.
00:29:46.260 And they walk through the doors, and they're crying because they're home.
00:29:50.480 There is no place safer than the body of Christ, and we're just an extension of that.
00:29:56.260 But for pastors, I just encourage you, like, you know, this is how you can release your people into the actual work of the ministry.
00:30:04.100 Because you're the equipper for the ministry, but the people are the ones that are supposed to go out into the community and do the works of the ministry.
00:30:11.640 So all that equipment that you've been doing will pay off when you release the people to get involved in every corner of our society.
00:30:19.460 I think we're going to see the body of Christ that Jesus says he's coming for us, victorious church without spot or wrinkle.
00:30:25.740 This is when people get excited.
00:30:27.860 You know, you share Jesus with somebody, you're just on fire.
00:30:30.480 I did it last week with somebody in an aisle for 45 minutes at a store, and, you know, he's going to check out Action for Canada.
00:30:41.480 At the end, we talked a little bit about the Lord, and he said, yes, I'm getting drawn more and more.
00:30:46.820 It seems that that's more the truth than I'm used to hearing.
00:30:51.380 Yeah, you know, thank you for sharing that.
00:30:55.320 And that whole idea, I was listening recently to the comedian J.P. Sears, who said he accidentally became more Christian.
00:31:03.880 And his take on that was just when you look at the level of evil that's rising, it just naturally causes any good-hearted person to recoil from that.
00:31:14.940 And so when you push yourself away from evil because it's just so awful, the only natural direction to go is towards good, and, of course, God is good.
00:31:25.540 And so people are finding, like you said, that home and that welcome by actually, you know, getting involved with the community and realizing that there's much more in common than we actually have that divides us.
00:31:41.500 And so it's really, you know, people of every tribe, tongue, and nation will come and understand the value that, you know, being a Christian nation has in their lives, the freedom that it provides and its genuine, true freedom.
00:31:58.060 So there's the other side of that, too.
00:32:00.120 Yes, we're making difference in our community and pushing back against policies and that sort of thing, transforming our community in a positive way.
00:32:08.140 But there's also the connection that I think so many people are longing for.
00:32:12.940 And I know for me, when I was going to rallies and being outdoors in the community, I mean, you just say God bless you to somebody, and they'd be in tears because there was just such a need for that connection.
00:32:25.740 So, anyway, thank you so much for that, Diane.
00:32:29.820 I'm going to switch now over and introduce Terry, who's going to give us a little bit more information about the next level of actually getting involved.
00:32:40.300 And she's going to share a little bit from Oshawa, Ontario.
00:32:43.860 So I'm going to give her a little bit of an intro here because, you know, Terry came from just ordinary Canadian like us all and then really stepped into this calling and is really just hitting it out of the park.
00:32:55.260 So this is our lovely Terry Wrecker.
00:32:58.220 Terry is one of Action for Canada's Ontario provincial leaders, as well as heading up Oshawa chapter.
00:33:04.620 Terry got her start with Action for Canada by attending the rallies in 2021.
00:33:09.520 And inspired by the message and practical solutions developed to assist our God-given rights, to assert our God-given rights, she courageously volunteered to lead a chapter in Oshawa, not fully realizing what it may entail.
00:33:23.540 I think that's important.
00:33:24.540 So like many of our grassroots leaders, including Diane, Terry did not have a background in civic activism, but through the mentorship and the guidance and training as a boots on the ground volunteer with Action for Canada, she became a formidable voice in defense of faith, family and freedom within her community and an enthusiastic leader, inspiring many Canadians to take action.
00:33:47.880 As a mother and grandmother, she's passionate about protecting the innocence of children, as so many of us are.
00:33:54.640 Terry leads many campaigns to raise public awareness by equipping teams to deliver flyers, to unsuspecting parents and citizens, informing them of the harms of the comprehensive sexual education programs.
00:34:05.880 They come in many different names, but in Ontario, it's the wind sex ed, and in the rest of the provinces, it has different names, but it's basically the same thing.
00:34:15.680 And these are all sweeping across the nation.
00:34:17.640 So as well, she was serving elected and bureaucratic officials with notices of liability to advise them of the potential legal risk that they are exposing themselves to by implementing these destructive policies and agendas.
00:34:30.040 So Terry is also actively recruiting fellow like-minded Canadians to take on leadership roles within Action for Canada, and she is overflowing with excitement for all the tremendous developments that are taking place in southern Ontario.
00:34:46.460 So I am so glad to be able to welcome Terry to present a little bit more about all the stuff that's going on, and you'll just see that her infectious enthusiasm is going to pour out.
00:34:57.120 I just know it.
00:34:57.980 So I'll hand it over to you, Terry, and maybe you can just start with, you know, your beginnings.
00:35:03.900 How did you get involved?
00:35:05.860 And like I said, you didn't really have the background as an activism, and now to see you in the role that you're in presently in a mentorship role within the organization is really just lovely.
00:35:16.880 So I'm just going to give you the floor for a little bit just to share what's on your heart.
00:35:21.660 Thank you, Kim.
00:35:22.860 I'm so glad to be here and to share all the exciting things that have inspired for me since coming on to joining Action for Canada.
00:35:32.660 So I can start off by saying back in 2021, I was, like all other people, very involved with going to different freedom groups within our region of Ontario, and I did attend quite a few rallies, but there was always something missing when I left those rallies.
00:35:54.320 I wasn't sure on how to, you know, put effort into, like what I'm getting at is there was no resources to take away.
00:36:05.400 So someone actually at the rally had asked me if I had heard of Action for Canada, and I said no.
00:36:13.720 So when I got home, I looked it up on the website, and I came across Action for Canada, and I was really impressed with what I saw.
00:36:23.480 So I saw like a really great grassroots organization that is based on Christian biblical principles and also provides all the resources that you need in order to take action in, you know, in your own municipalities, as such as like, you know, like under our God-given rights in Canada.
00:36:52.480 So in Canada that we have, I found that the resources that we have, I found that the resources that they were providing were things like notices of liability, and what they are is, you know, putting, letting someone know, a specific person, letting them know that what they are doing is wrong.
00:37:14.600 And even though it's not a legal document, it's still giving them the insight and some of the criminal codes that they are in violation of.
00:37:25.120 So what I started, so what I did actually was, I thought, you know what, God was calling me and really tapping me on the shoulder to get involved.
00:37:35.200 So I joined, I signed up as a chapter leader.
00:37:39.860 And so I've been doing this now for the past two years, and the organization is amazing as a chapter leader to, you know, help equip and empower and also mobilize citizens to step out there and to take action that they can do.
00:38:02.720 It's not hard.
00:38:32.700 It was to get the masks off the children in the schools, and we actually succeeded in that one just back in, I believe, 2022.
00:38:40.360 When we did that call to action, I sent it out to all my members that are signed up in our Durham region.
00:38:48.160 And so what we did was we, you know, put all those Action for Canada notices of liability together, and we served all the trustees as well as the superintendents and the director of education.
00:39:00.140 And what happened was there was a Durham district school board meeting, and the trustees, because of all the pressure that they had got from phone calls and emails from all of our members at Action for Canada, they voted against it.
00:39:19.820 So that was a huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge breaking point for us.
00:39:24.080 And I think it was really something for our members to see that, you know, just banding together and that we can succeed and that everybody can play a part out there.
00:39:36.040 So I also wanted to touch on the fact that, you know, once I was on with Action for Canada, I did have stumbling blocks for sure.
00:39:47.780 But, you know, as I got training from the weekly meetings that I attend on Mondays with the chapters, that's a chapter leader meeting, you know, the national team is there as well.
00:40:06.300 And Tanya provides updates and tools to assist us chapter leaders to take actions in our cities.
00:40:13.900 So there's always an ongoing training and the tools that the national team, as well as, you know, Tanya, will give to each chapter leader so that they can be successful in their chapters.
00:40:30.360 And by all means, you do not have to take on something very huge.
00:40:34.880 You start off slow and baby steps and you take one project at a time.
00:40:39.860 And so I think what happened was when the light bulb went on for me, well, you know, I was out rallying different school boards and handing out signs and I had team meters joining me as well doing that.
00:40:56.440 But what really happened was when Tanya Gaw visited Ontario to give presentations in all the different municipalities at the churches, and I got to spend some really good quality time with her.
00:41:13.180 And I really wanted to just, I kept staring at her because I wanted to gain so much knowledge of how she does things.
00:41:20.860 And that was my mission was just to pull that out of her somehow.
00:41:24.060 And so I kept asking her questions, like, how do you do it?
00:41:28.680 How do you do it?
00:41:29.400 There's got to be a way.
00:41:30.280 There's got to be a way.
00:41:31.740 So she finally just said, you know, started talking to me and I went, oh my gosh, that's it.
00:41:38.140 I go, the light bulb just went on.
00:41:40.520 I need to find a church where I can go there, invite my members to come.
00:41:50.100 And so I started to do that.
00:41:53.180 So I'll just talk a little bit about that, what happened.
00:41:56.320 So there is a kind of a format that you should follow, right?
00:42:00.480 So what happened was I found a church and actually the pastor is very good.
00:42:07.860 He's on board with what's going on.
00:42:10.340 And so I just want to go to that.
00:42:15.060 So I just want to share with, you know, other people that are thinking possibly coming on.
00:42:19.980 We would love to have you as a chapter leader or a co-leader.
00:42:23.100 You know, we can't do this alone and it would just be so amazing.
00:42:26.160 But a typical meeting is to that I would open in prayer or I'd have some, a pastor open in prayer.
00:42:34.700 And then I would have my computer set up so that it would flash onto the big screen in the church.
00:42:41.280 And I would read off, you know, our Action for Canada mission statement.
00:42:47.080 That would be the next thing that I would do.
00:42:49.660 And then I would start to navigate our site, our Action for Canada site with the members,
00:42:57.380 showing them just some simple, simple things that they could do.
00:43:01.280 For instance, where to find our weekly action and on the menu and that they could access this.
00:43:11.540 And this is something that is sent out, you know, once a week by Tanya Gaw.
00:43:16.240 So I start with that recent Action and I play that for my members and then so that they can take action in their community.
00:43:27.740 And they really like that.
00:43:29.100 They like that, that, you know, I can just play that.
00:43:32.140 And then they get to hear Tanya Gaw speaking about the weekly action and what notices of liability or flyers that they need to go out
00:43:40.580 and hand it out as boots on the ground or get teams together to do it.
00:43:44.840 So it's very insightful.
00:43:46.820 So I play that.
00:43:48.380 And then I also play Tanya Gaw's, she does, sorry, she does a weekly action.
00:43:56.540 So I play that, but she also gives a call to action once a week as well.
00:44:03.260 So I show members that and they get to listen to that as well.
00:44:07.760 And so that's very informative, you know, recently it's been on multiculturalism, what's happening in the schools,
00:44:16.480 anything where we've, you know, come against the government and we've won it, you know,
00:44:21.780 with our SOGI program out west and we're fighting the win sex out of here in Ontario.
00:44:27.740 Plus our 15 minute cities as well is something that we are working on actively.
00:44:34.280 So I basically just, you know, give an agenda that you can follow in, you know, during your meeting as a chapter leader.
00:44:42.480 And after that, I just invite my teams up.
00:44:48.520 So I have, I have three different teams.
00:44:50.760 I have a parent team and these are people that have just signed up through your, your church meetings.
00:44:56.400 I have a parent team that will, you know, do up any nuances of liability, but they'll also hand out the win sex out flyers.
00:45:09.640 And I actually have a couple that are in their eighties and I mean, kudos to them.
00:45:15.080 It's such a blessing that they actually ordered a thousand of our flyers.
00:45:19.440 And they're a couple from Lindsay, 80 years old, and they have, they have well handed out over 500 flyers now to various spots.
00:45:32.820 So one of the things they're doing is going door to door.
00:45:35.220 And that has been very successful because a lot, the response from the people, when they come to the doors,
00:45:41.800 they have no, they don't have no idea that because they're silencing parents.
00:45:46.540 So they have no idea whatsoever that it's so entrenched in our system.
00:45:52.120 And they're so thankful that, you know, we're giving them some information where they can get onto Action for Canada
00:45:57.860 and they can get involved as a parent or a volunteer.
00:46:01.700 So, I mean, yeah.
00:46:03.360 And they'll go to busy spots like malls and they'll talk to people that are coming out of, you know, grocery stores, et cetera.
00:46:11.300 And they told me the response has been amazing.
00:46:13.640 And people have actually said they were going to sign up to Action for Canada.
00:46:17.780 So that's an amazing, you know, amazing thing happening.
00:46:22.900 Yeah.
00:46:23.100 I just want to jump in there for a second because I think what's important to highlight is you mentioned that when you have your meetings,
00:46:29.180 you're not inventing new content.
00:46:32.360 You're not trying to come up with something that you need to present.
00:46:35.300 You're just basically presenting the information that the national team and others have put together.
00:46:40.800 And we try to do campaigns that have a national impact.
00:46:47.360 And yet they have their own unique way of rolling out in the local, in the provinces, as well as the local communities.
00:46:53.580 And so you're not actually having to create anything.
00:46:56.680 You just need to present the information that we have made available.
00:47:01.360 So there's a ton of resources that, again, you could spend, like I think Pastor Randy said,
00:47:08.140 you could spend hours just drilling through some of that research material.
00:47:12.960 And the more education you have, the more knowledge you have, the more power you have to act.
00:47:19.800 So in what you're saying about letting unsuspecting parents know about what's going on in the schools,
00:47:26.640 they've been so busy trying to get their kids out to school and maybe having jobs and maybe taking care of elderly parents or whatnot.
00:47:35.940 There's people have very busy lives.
00:47:37.540 So when they get that packaged information and they get knowledgeable about it, going, I had no idea.
00:47:43.740 But then they know, OK, there's a next step that can be done in order for me to exert my voice in opposition to that.
00:47:51.440 And they can do that in multiple different ways.
00:47:54.140 So when you're describing your teams, those are the teams of people that have a particular passion to say,
00:47:59.640 get this garbage out of school and protect the children.
00:48:03.580 So they may step forward to say, hey, I can hand out flyers, no problem, or I can hold a sign.
00:48:09.760 So and you've mentioned a couple other campaigns that people might be passionate about.
00:48:14.620 You mentioned the 15-minute cities to really protecting against that,
00:48:19.080 the surveillance and the control mechanisms that are being brought into cities, which I think is really important.
00:48:25.080 So I guess in your chapter, you don't have everybody doing everything.
00:48:30.840 You have people in certain teams.
00:48:33.880 And so, yeah, I just wanted to kind of highlight that.
00:48:35.860 And as you mentioned a little bit more about that,
00:48:38.060 I just wanted to kind of focus our audience in on the fact that you don't have to do it all.
00:48:42.260 You do a part.
00:48:43.680 So maybe you can take it from there a bit.
00:48:47.180 Yes, absolutely, Kim.
00:48:48.500 That's what I do.
00:48:49.400 I, you know, take the pressure off myself.
00:48:52.020 And I've established these teams.
00:48:55.460 And I have a team lead of each team who coordinates whatever weekly actions they're going to take.
00:49:03.360 Like with the flyers, they all get together and figure out where they're going to go next.
00:49:08.320 And that's what they do.
00:49:10.460 The same with the 15-minute cities.
00:49:12.020 They'll deliver those door-to-doors.
00:49:13.500 So I have a team lead that's, you know, working on, you know, doing that and also working on a plan to approach the municipalities with the 15-minute cities.
00:49:28.140 So that's a project.
00:49:30.920 Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not hard.
00:49:34.700 When you join Action for Canada as a chapter leader or a co-leader, we have all the resources that will equip you to run your chapter with success.
00:49:45.680 We have a chapter resource page that is like my Bible.
00:49:48.700 I mean, I go to it for everything.
00:49:50.560 We also have the provincial team leaders, which is myself in Ontario.
00:49:55.600 And I offer all my chapter leaders that I've brought on recently and any of the others mentorship all the time.
00:50:03.720 I'm available, you know, during the day for them to call me and I will walk them through how to set up different, you know, just to task with them and how to be successful to running their chapters smoothly.
00:50:19.980 And I encourage them to reach out to me and not to do, you know, take on everything at one time.
00:50:27.320 So doing that, I'm also saying, you know, a lot of people ask me, well, you know, what's the time commitment to be a chapter leader or a co-leader?
00:50:37.520 And I say to them, you know, if you have just five hours a week, that's it, five, six hours a week that you can commit to and attend our Monday meetings if you can.
00:50:51.500 If not, you can catch them on the prerecord, but we do encourage you to definitely attend them if you can.
00:50:58.180 So, and with the help of the national team, you know, I'm asking everyone to step up into that position because, you know, I didn't think that I was meant to be a leader.
00:51:12.540 But you'd be surprised when everything is, you know, there for you to navigate on the Action for Canada website.
00:51:21.380 You can do it for sure.
00:51:22.680 You just got to have that enthusiasm.
00:51:24.160 Sorry. Yes, definitely.
00:51:28.680 And you have that in spades.
00:51:30.280 I just love chatting with you.
00:51:32.080 And when you share, oh, this great new thing happened, I served here.
00:51:36.100 And even when you shared with us about the couple that just took it upon themselves to donate the printing costs, in fact.
00:51:43.540 And they said, we have the time and we want to go and do that.
00:51:46.540 It's just really inspiring to see that.
00:51:49.400 And those are the joys that we get to celebrate when we're getting more people involved and just taking all that one action that they can do.
00:51:56.560 So, I really thank you so much, Terry.
00:51:59.540 I'm just going to go over a little bit of that description of what a chapter, what's involved in chapter leadership.
00:52:06.560 So, a lot of people say, well, you know, I'd rather be that second person.
00:52:10.920 I'd rather somebody else to step up.
00:52:12.840 And they don't realize that, in fact, they have leadership qualities within them already.
00:52:17.780 And it's just about taking that first step of faith.
00:52:20.420 But I really appreciate also how you mentioned that there's that mentorship so that you're not alone in this and that there's that weekly training that happens and that mentorship to bring you up to speed.
00:52:31.820 So, right now, like, you're in the place where you can mentor other people because you've gone through all of that training and you've tried it out, trial and error sometimes.
00:52:42.480 And you had that shift in the development of your chapter when you were able to have those weekly meetings where you just would bring people together, face in front of you, present the information that we have to offer, and then people get behind you.
00:52:56.860 So, it's really, it's a wonderful example of the successes that we're having all across the country when people just, you know, take that step, step of faith, but then realizing that there is the support for you.
00:53:11.360 So, is there anything else that you wanted to share before we kind of shift a little bit?
00:53:18.500 Let me see here what I've left out here.
00:53:21.000 I just want to really express that, you know, it's, it's, it's, how can I put it here?
00:53:31.460 I just really want to express that you're not alone when you join us a chapter leader.
00:53:39.100 And a lot of people think, well, you know, again, I can't do, I just, I don't think I'll be able to do everything.
00:53:44.880 And you don't have to.
00:53:46.280 You just start off small, like, you know, like I did.
00:53:49.260 For instance, if you want to start off, you know, working on the sex win stuff that's going on in the schools, then that's your priority.
00:53:57.200 And that's what you work with.
00:53:58.960 That's, that's what you stay focused on.
00:54:01.680 And then, you know, so that would involve, you know, serving the notices of liability to city councillors, to the trustees, that sort of thing.
00:54:14.220 So, and getting out there and getting just a small group to go out, I would suggest door to door, that's really working.
00:54:21.860 But just delivering out those flyers and getting them exposed.
00:54:26.040 That's just, you know, that's one way that, that you can definitely start off with your chapter.
00:54:32.980 And I mean, that's a, that's a, you know, small step, but it's, it's an important step.
00:54:36.940 So, you don't have to take on everything at once.
00:54:40.400 And, and I certainly don't.
00:54:42.440 So, once I have those teams in place, though, then I know I can, okay, now I've got that done.
00:54:47.960 And, um, then I can move on to something else, you know.
00:54:51.960 And then, again, having somebody with the 15-minute cities, then I have, you know, somebody that's taking care of that.
00:54:58.800 And then I can move on to something else that I can, I can focus on.
00:55:03.700 Right, right.
00:55:04.340 So, that's my word of encouragement that, you know, I really hope that you do join Action for Canada.
00:55:10.140 And if you come on board, you know, for vetting, I would be so pleased as an Ontario provincial leader to definitely help you out and mentor you along in the process.
00:55:23.540 All you have to do is just say, yes, Lord.
00:55:26.600 Thanks, Kim.
00:55:27.360 Yeah, thanks so much, Terry.
00:55:29.220 And that was, those were the two words that Tanya said when she began her step into organizing Action for Canada and moving this wonderful organization forward was just, yes, Lord.
00:55:40.760 And she's given that testimony on several occasions with, when she's been on tour.
00:55:45.820 And that those two simple words, and then the Lord, he doesn't call the, the equipped, he equips the called.
00:55:52.620 So, when people step up, they feel that nudge, and they take that step forward, then the Lord is there and he provides everything that you need to make you able to walk in that calling.
00:56:06.220 As well as the team at Action for Canada, like you said, we just come around and support.
00:56:11.120 So, if you're wondering about being a chapter leader, what are we looking for?
00:56:15.460 Well, we're looking for people who are aligned with our Christian faith and our values, because we're a Christian organization, and we want people who have leadership qualities.
00:56:24.240 And some people think, well, I'm not a professional leader, but maybe there's natural leadership abilities, and certainly you can see that in Terry, and in Diane, and Randy, have natural leadership abilities, and then experiential leadership abilities, too.
00:56:38.120 So, you know, you don't have to have the title, but you have to have the willing heart, and, and, and some of those natural abilities.
00:56:45.800 And we also want people who are willing to act locally, to bring positive change to their communities, because that's where it's the real battle is, is to think there, you know, so to think globally, but act locally, that's certainly what the, the other side has done for sure.
00:57:02.040 And so, I wanted to mention a couple other things, too, about what's involved in chapter leadership, and I would, I would distill it down to kind of five main things.
00:57:11.420 So, one of those being that you have to manage an email account, you have to be able to manage your communication with your members, and the general public who are asking questions, like, how do I deal with this?
00:57:22.800 And you have the resources as a chapter leader, because you're being equipped with them, and then you can give them out to the people, to the public who want to know more.
00:57:32.100 So, you manage that, that email account, everybody gets their own email account for their chapter.
00:57:37.080 Another thing you have to do is organize that one in-person meeting.
00:57:41.920 And when you bring the community together, you just show the Action for Canada materials, resources, and strategies and tools that we have to be able to push back, to feel empowered and equipped to take on these challenges.
00:57:55.280 Another thing that, the third thing I would say is connect with your members.
00:57:59.020 So, one thing that Terry mentioned is that, oh, I have a team.
00:58:04.100 How did she get that team of people to be able to do the boots on the ground, handing out flyers?
00:58:08.940 Well, there's lots of people that stepped up just to volunteer, and they said, I could do something simple.
00:58:13.740 I could do one, two things.
00:58:15.560 And so, a chapter leader just needs to reach out to that.
00:58:18.040 Action for Canada has a huge list that we will provide for you as a chapter leader or co-leader.
00:58:23.620 And we'll give you that list so that you can meet the people in your community that are of like mind and willing to take action at the local level.
00:58:31.000 So, you have to connect with those members.
00:58:33.080 And then take one action a month.
00:58:35.140 Just one thing that you could do to either raise awareness in your community, maybe engage your elected officials.
00:58:42.620 Maybe that's joining and just attending town hall meetings and musical meetings, school board meetings, maybe library board meetings.
00:58:49.960 I'm sure that many of them are shocked when the public starts showing up for library board meetings.
00:58:54.300 But there's issues that are being presented at these meetings that, you know, the public might want to be aware of.
00:58:59.580 And so, to have the public start becoming engaged.
00:59:02.380 So, take one action a month.
00:59:04.060 And the bottom line, too, is that attending the leadership meetings on Monday gives you that mentorship and gives you that leadership development so that you can take it to the next level.
00:59:15.640 So, you might say, I wasn't an activist before, but now I am.
00:59:18.860 And if you hear Tanya Goss' story, she was a shy mom doing her thing, you know, watching out for her kids and, you know, engaging with the things that she saw were problematic and then went from an email list of a handful to across the nation.
00:59:36.400 So, it's just amazing what the Lord is able to do with a willing heart.
00:59:40.040 So, I hope that, you know, in hearing some of these testimonies and stories, you might have felt that call to say, yeah, I think I could do more.
00:59:48.980 And it looks like this is an organization I could really support and get involved with.
00:59:54.580 I just really welcome you to do that.
00:59:56.580 So, I want to be able to pull Dan on here in just a minute, but I do think I would like to share my screen, Terenzio.
01:00:04.940 I know that Tanya often shows you this map across Canada.
01:00:09.500 This is the map of all the chapters.
01:00:12.520 Each little flag on there represents a place where we have the infrastructure for a chapter.
01:00:17.060 And many of them have a full complement of leader, co-leader, treasurer, campaign leaders.
01:00:24.800 Some of them are really, really flourishing.
01:00:26.680 Others, they're still in development.
01:00:28.760 And so, even as you see all these lovely flags across the country, all representing a place where Action for Canada has put our flag in the ground,
01:00:37.300 there is still opportunity for you to step up into leadership.
01:00:41.220 So, even if there's a chapter in your neighborhood and you think, oh, you must be doing great,
01:00:46.740 we can always use new leaders to step up and help in maybe just taking on one campaign.
01:00:53.620 And, you know, it's a big job, but with many hands, it makes light work.
01:00:58.000 So, even as you see this map here, we are still needing to have co-leaders, treasurers, and the like.
01:01:05.300 Also, people that are skilled in administration to step up and to help with some of the management of the chapter.
01:01:11.580 So, on this page, and the way you find this page is our chapter, Action for Canada chapters across Canada page.
01:01:19.460 And so, you can get to it by the join tab.
01:01:22.080 When you scroll across the top to the join tab, you drop down arrow and it takes you to this page here, Action for Canada chapters.
01:01:29.120 This is where you can find out if there is a chapter in your neighborhood.
01:01:33.080 And if there is, you can still sign up to be a leader in some capacity.
01:01:37.540 So, if there is not, and you would like to step up into that role and maybe develop a chapter in your neighborhood, in your local area, you can do that by starting a chapter.
01:01:48.080 It will take you through the steps to do that.
01:01:49.640 So, we are also encouraging people, leadership in any capacity is definitely needed.
01:01:56.120 So, if you want to volunteer in some way and be part of that core team on a chapter, you can click Register as a Volunteer.
01:02:04.140 And I'll take you through that page in just a second.
01:02:06.540 So, when you go here, you find out what's going on in Alberta, for example.
01:02:12.260 It just happens to be the first one on here.
01:02:14.180 So, you can see where we have chapters.
01:02:16.000 And some of them, we need to have new leadership still.
01:02:18.960 So, you can email them directly by just clicking the email and directly say, hey, I'd be interested in helping you out in Lethbridge or in Calgary or in Edmonton, for example.
01:02:30.940 And each one, you can see British Columbia has a long list, Ontario as well.
01:02:37.400 And we definitely have need in some of the maritime provinces to be able to bring more chapter leaders on and open up new chapters in those areas.
01:02:48.480 So, please take a look at that.
01:02:50.040 If you felt like, you know, maybe I could do a little bit more and get involved more actively, then check out this page.
01:02:57.340 When you click on Register as a Volunteer, you'll come to a page that looks like this.
01:03:04.320 So, you click on that and Register as a Volunteer.
01:03:06.740 And so, I want to just highlight this part.
01:03:09.100 You fill out your information and right down here, it says, what's your volunteer interest?
01:03:16.160 So, if you're interested in volunteering for chapter leadership, you can just click right down to there and it gets the ball rolling.
01:03:22.900 Now, that doesn't mean that you've automatically, you're on the team as a leader.
01:03:27.080 It just means that we'll have that conversation with you to see if there's a good fit.
01:03:30.480 So, when you click on that chapter leadership, it gives you a little important information that you'll need to know.
01:03:37.900 Click on that link and then a message gets sent to our provincial leaders.
01:03:41.760 And a provincial leader like Terry will give you a phone call and discuss a little bit more about what's involved more personally.
01:03:47.840 If there's a good fit and a good alignment with your values and the values of Action for Canada and your skill set, then it gets moved on to me, who's the national chapter coordinator.
01:03:59.560 And then we have a final interview and then we bring you on.
01:04:02.920 And then all those resources that we were discussing become available to you along with the mentorship.
01:04:08.940 So, it's very easy to get involved.
01:04:11.020 And like Terry was saying, just one step at a time, one little step.
01:04:14.400 So, I hope that helps to give you a way in.
01:04:18.220 Again, join.
01:04:19.740 You can go to the chapters page.
01:04:22.260 And then when you get to the chapters page, it looks like this.
01:04:25.620 You can register as a volunteer and specifically choose chapter leadership.
01:04:29.620 So, we're always looking for leaders, co-leaders and treasurers and administrators.
01:04:36.280 So, please think about it.
01:04:38.100 And I hope that, you know, you pray and let God lead your heart in this.
01:04:43.160 And right now, I'd like to pull up Dan just to talk about, you know, the appeal back to the churches on how that partnership really is integral in the success of Action for Canada.
01:04:55.440 It's to bring the faith communities together with the active communities of citizens who are watching.
01:05:01.660 I always think of it like the watchmen on the wall who are watching the coming and going of the things.
01:05:09.240 What's coming in that should come in?
01:05:11.380 And what's going out that should go out?
01:05:13.140 And then vice versa.
01:05:14.480 What do we need to stop in its tracks before it comes in?
01:05:17.380 And that's the place where the church is with that moral imperative to be shepherds of the flock together with chapter leaders and citizens who are active boots on the ground, pushing back in all the spheres of influence within our society.
01:05:32.460 It's so important that we have the two working together.
01:05:35.100 So, thanks, Dan, for coming on.
01:05:37.520 And maybe you can make your appeal to the pastors.
01:05:40.880 And I'll just turn it over to you.
01:05:44.540 Well, Kim, thank you.
01:05:45.280 You know, one of our slogans is we're all about protecting faith, family, and freedom.
01:05:51.140 And we've already seen with Pastor Randy how Action for Canada has been helping churches in the past, especially with COVID, protecting churches and helping them stay open during the COVID lockdowns and all that.
01:06:04.240 One of the things that I want to bring up, and I probably should have mentioned this with Pastor Randy, but we did bring it up when I had him on an earlier pastor webinar.
01:06:14.100 Right now, dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of communities across Canada, be it municipalities, cities, or towns, are talking about implementing 15-minute cities.
01:06:25.360 Now, some of you listeners may be wondering, what in the world is a 15-minute city?
01:06:29.520 Maybe you've heard the term.
01:06:30.620 You've heard Terry talk about it a little bit.
01:06:33.060 And pastors, you may be wondering, what is a 15-minute city?
01:06:38.000 So it's a UN-led agenda where there's millions of dollars promised to municipalities if they implement this.
01:06:46.100 And it's all green energy.
01:06:47.980 It's one of the 17 sustainable goals.
01:06:50.420 And it's really unreachable.
01:06:52.320 But they're throwing money to make your town, your municipality, your city cleaner.
01:06:58.220 And so right here in Sydney, for example, they tore up our main street downtown, repaved it, and then they said, oops, we forgot to do something under the road.
01:07:10.960 They tore out the brand-new pavement.
01:07:13.160 This is like over a year ago.
01:07:14.820 And now they're putting like these dog-bone things at each intersection where we used to have two lanes.
01:07:19.960 And now you barely have one lane to go through downtown.
01:07:22.600 And people are like, what in the world are you doing?
01:07:25.460 You know, and it's still all tore up.
01:07:27.120 And it's to implement this 15-minute city.
01:07:30.160 Now, ultimately, what they want people to do is to be able to go anywhere, to live within a 15-minute radius where you'll have all of your amenities, everything.
01:07:41.360 Your hairdresser, your barber, which you can tell I don't really need one, right?
01:07:45.960 But your church, your bank, your grocery, your doctor, your pharmacy.
01:07:50.380 And so I asked Pastor Randy, for example, I said, so, Pastor Randy, what percentage of your church attends your church that would live within a 15-minute walking distance?
01:08:03.960 And he thought for a minute, and he said, well, maybe 10%.
01:08:07.780 I said, so, would you be able to sustain your church with 10% of your congregation, not only 15, 10% of your congregation being able to walk to your church?
01:08:20.700 He said, no, absolutely not.
01:08:23.340 I said, think about your missions program, your giving, you know, your bills you have to pay for your church.
01:08:28.340 Then I said, Pastor Randy, do you live within 15-minute walking distance to your church?
01:08:32.980 He said, no, he wouldn't even be able to attend his own church, right?
01:08:37.060 And I mean, so pastors get to thinking, you know, like, wow, I wouldn't even be able to walk to my own church.
01:08:43.180 And those are the restrictions that they're putting.
01:08:45.980 The city of Oxford, England was a trial and a test.
01:08:48.940 And I mean, you can go and watch some of the YouTube videos, and people are revolting.
01:08:53.700 They're tearing down the barricades and the barriers.
01:08:55.640 And all you see now is cameras, like surveillance cameras going on.
01:09:00.300 So what Action for Canada is doing, we actually have experts that are teaching and training people on how to go to municipal meetings and how to really combat this ideology and inform people.
01:09:16.100 Because pastors are busy, and they want to just preach the Word of God.
01:09:19.680 And so what we do is we come alongside pastors and churches, and we complement your work, and we inform you to combat this evil ideology.
01:09:32.660 Same with the SOGI, the WINSEC said things.
01:09:35.460 And so that's how Action for Canada protects faith and then family.
01:09:40.520 We have a youth program going on right now where we have a family program.
01:09:44.700 And then coming up, beginning November 7th, we have a marriage program, a five-week marriage program.
01:09:50.380 So that's how we are complementing churches in building up strong families.
01:09:56.020 And then freedom, of course.
01:09:57.120 We've been a freedom-fighting grassroots movement for the last number of years.
01:10:01.640 And so that's how Action for Canada can work with you.
01:10:04.140 And based on that, we have an appeal to you that's in our weekly action this week.
01:10:08.800 And we are asking you, pastors, if you are a church that is awake, and we don't know about you and you don't know about us,
01:10:16.560 will you please send us an email so that we can connect with you?
01:10:20.660 Simple email at pastors at actionforcanada.ca.
01:10:24.740 I'll get that email.
01:10:26.500 And if you have a website, put your website address on there.
01:10:29.700 Now, here's one thing I'd like to say.
01:10:31.800 Perhaps in the past, you didn't know any better, and you thought, well, you know, we were just wanting to be cautious.
01:10:36.680 Like Pastor Randy said, he had a church leadership that were 100% on board with him, and perhaps your leadership wasn't quite on board.
01:10:45.320 And you thought, you know what, we did close down.
01:10:48.020 We did follow the mandates, but now we know better.
01:10:51.600 Now we see the information, and we're sorry we did that, but we will never do that again.
01:10:58.240 That's okay.
01:10:59.240 God forgives.
01:11:00.140 And it's fine now to be awake, right?
01:11:03.780 And so we'll work with you.
01:11:06.160 We'll work alongside with you.
01:11:08.000 So will you please send us an email?
01:11:10.360 And maybe you're not a pastor listening to this broadcast.
01:11:13.340 You'll say, well, I attend one of those churches, and I need to get our pastor on board with that.
01:11:18.880 So you send us an email, all right?
01:11:21.300 Visit pastors at actionforcanada.ca and send us your pastor's name and your church website, and I will be glad to connect with someone from your church.
01:11:31.660 And maybe, just like in Campbell River, you know, we can start a chapter within a church.
01:11:38.080 Tanya often talks about creating, building communities within communities, and then we can work with you.
01:11:44.340 We have people like Tom Harris out of Ottawa, who is an expert on these 15-minute cities.
01:11:50.320 And so we get small groups, you know, who will become experts in learning about these things, educating people.
01:11:56.480 And just in closing on that portion there, I do have one other announcement, but there's a verse in Scripture in Ephesians chapter 3, where Paul says this.
01:12:06.300 Ephesians chapter 3, verses 20 and 21, he says,
01:12:09.080 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
01:12:22.140 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever. Amen.
01:12:29.340 God is able to do even more than we can even think or ask, because we ask him.
01:12:34.520 So, I'm going to close in prayer in just a moment, but we are asking God to do in these dark days, where we are seeing so much prevalent evil, coast to coast.
01:12:46.260 We are asking God to open the eyes of the blind, to unstop the ears of the deaf.
01:12:53.320 We're asking for miracles to happen across our land, where people will wake up to what's going on.
01:12:59.680 You see what's going on in the Middle East?
01:13:01.780 It is going to spill out all over the world.
01:13:04.520 How do we know that?
01:13:05.900 It's in God's Word.
01:13:07.900 There will be wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, calamity upon calamity.
01:13:14.480 People need to get ready for what's coming.
01:13:17.360 But you know what?
01:13:18.200 It's not all going to come at the same time.
01:13:19.880 It's coming a little bit here and a little bit there and a little bit here and a little bit there.
01:13:24.660 And based on that as well, we need to be prepared.
01:13:27.080 And so, that's how we are protecting faith, family, and your freedoms.
01:13:31.840 That's what Action for Canada is all about.
01:13:33.820 And on that as well, we do have some good news.
01:13:37.440 Can I?
01:13:38.740 There was some little minions that were going on about Action for Canada's...
01:13:44.820 There's the legal action.
01:13:52.920 The legal action.
01:13:53.780 That's it, Kim.
01:13:54.420 Thank you.
01:13:55.240 I can help you.
01:13:56.200 It's dead in the water.
01:13:56.640 It's floating.
01:13:57.220 You know, it's gone belly up.
01:13:58.940 But we're waiting for the courts.
01:14:00.520 You know, the courts have not been really friendly to any of the freedom movements and that.
01:14:06.340 But you know what?
01:14:07.240 We're grateful that February 14th, on Valentine's Day of all days, at 10 o'clock in the morning, we've been given a gift.
01:14:14.880 We will be back in court.
01:14:16.700 And Rocco will be present there.
01:14:18.280 So, we are asking you, based on this scripture as well, be in prayer for Action for Canada.
01:14:24.260 We will be in court.
01:14:26.000 And we are believing God that we will have victory.
01:14:28.920 And all we need is one court case to go in favor.
01:14:32.460 And we will see freedom for Canadians.
01:14:35.680 And we have been praying for this.
01:14:37.580 And so, we just pray that God will show us favor.
01:14:41.260 So, Dan, I actually have a little bit more detail on that that I'd like to read off.
01:14:46.540 It's a statement from Tanya.
01:14:48.100 So, yes, our court case is not dead in the water.
01:14:50.920 It is actually alive.
01:14:52.600 It's been resurrected.
01:14:54.160 And really, it's the persistence.
01:14:55.760 Like we were discussing, Dan, we heard the story about the persistent widow who continued against the unjust judge.
01:15:03.160 We heard that yesterday in the Sunday service.
01:15:06.340 And, you know, just we were talking later about how that's just so relevant to the case with Tanya that, you know, just being persistent all the way through with all that opposition, with unjust scales and unjust judges, you know, not willing to hear.
01:15:21.840 And then lots of different legal games and maneuvers that are being played.
01:15:26.160 We do.
01:15:27.040 We just we did get that appeals date set.
01:15:29.960 And so, I'll just read this for you.
01:15:31.400 So, Action for Canada filed the appeal on September 28th, 2022, and the respondents filed their response by January of 2023.
01:15:41.640 The appeal could have been heard before the appeal court within six months.
01:15:46.620 However, given the number of lawyers for the respondents, it became difficult finding a date where all parties were available as required by the court.
01:15:55.800 So, Rocco's office consistently made every effort to work with all parties involved.
01:16:01.440 If a court date is not set within a year, the file is automatically put on what's called an inactive list.
01:16:07.420 So, this transpired on September 28th, 2023, and was due to the ongoing delays in setting a date.
01:16:15.220 So, as soon as the case was deemed inactive, Rocco immediately sought consent to have the case put back on the active list, as well as insisting on available dates from counsel for the hearing of the appeal.
01:16:27.540 So, on October 18th of 2023 this year, all lawyers signed the consent to take the case off the inactive list, as well as all the counsel provided available dates, in which a mutual date was found between all the parties.
01:16:42.480 And like Dan mentioned, that notice of hearing of appeal was immediately filed, and on October 19th, the appeals court confirmed the date of February 14th, 2024, at 10 a.m.
01:16:53.740 And again, at no time was the case ever abandoned.
01:16:57.560 Action for Canada and Rocco Galati are actively pursuing the advancement of this legal action, because we are told in Scripture that we need to act justly, pursue justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before the Lord.
01:17:10.480 And so, we will continue to pursue justice, and we will trust that the Lord is the just judge who will bring favor and a hearing to our complaint.
01:17:20.620 We have many.
01:17:21.600 So, thank you for that.
01:17:22.440 I just wanted to make sure I got those details in there as well, Dan.
01:17:25.920 I appreciate that.
01:17:27.080 Thank you so much, Kim.
01:17:28.420 Well, thank you so much for being with us on this Wednesday.
01:17:31.060 Thank you, Tanya, for trusting Kim and I to do this in your absence.
01:17:34.440 And it's such a joy to be able to fill in your shoes.
01:17:39.340 I was going to say your big shoes, but no, you have smaller feet, but fill in your shoes in your absence.
01:17:44.460 And so, we will continue to pray for your tour as you continue to tour the island there.
01:17:48.480 I also want to thank our guests, Pastor Randy and Diane over on the other coast, and Terry for being with us today.
01:17:55.580 One of the things I want to do that I do weekly because I send out the prayer emails, we have an incredible prayer team that always prays on Wednesdays for the Empower Hour.
01:18:06.200 You don't see them.
01:18:06.940 You don't know about them.
01:18:08.360 But those of you that are on the prayer team that are watching, you know who you are.
01:18:11.780 So, I just want to publicly say thank you.
01:18:13.620 And also to our incredible tech team as well, Terenzio and Ray and Sheila and Heather.
01:18:23.020 And we have a few in the background as well for Holly, who answers a lot of the emails.
01:18:27.460 And so, we have incredible people in the background.
01:18:29.900 You don't see them, but without them, this entire production would not be possible.
01:18:34.880 So, thank you for being with us.
01:18:36.220 And I just want to close in prayer.
01:18:38.540 Father, Heavenly Father, it is such a joy and a pleasure to do this.
01:18:42.020 What we do, for your glory, for your honor.
01:18:43.960 And as we just read in Scripture, you are able to do above and beyond what we can even think or imagine.
01:18:50.480 So, we are praying for victory in the courts on February 14th.
01:18:54.640 We are praying, Lord, that as our supporters pray with us, Lord, that we will all be able to, on that day, give you the praise, the glory, and the honor.
01:19:04.360 Father, you know our needs.
01:19:06.180 You know that we need more chapters across Canada.
01:19:08.920 You know that we need more churches to be open.
01:19:11.000 You know our financial needs.
01:19:12.940 And so, we put all of those needs this evening, Lord, at the foot of the throne of God.
01:19:19.000 And we say, Lord, bless beyond our wildest imaginations.
01:19:23.660 And we pray and ask this, Lord, in Jesus' name.
01:19:27.660 Amen.
01:19:28.580 Thank you again for being with us.
01:19:30.520 Coast to coast.
01:19:31.540 God bless you.
01:19:32.160 What a great show.
01:19:40.240 Many thanks to Kim and Pastor Dan and our special guest speakers.
01:19:44.380 I invite you to join us for next week's Empower Hour.
01:19:47.180 We'll be showcasing Tanya.
01:19:49.020 And she'll be sharing some important new information on SOGI Indoctrination Exposed.
01:19:54.160 A reminder that Tanya is on the final leg of her Vancouver Island tour.
01:19:59.780 If you're in the Nanus Bay area, there's still time for you to get over to the Nanus Bay Pentecostal Camp to attend tonight's presentation.
01:20:08.320 The doors open at 6.30 and Tanya comes on at 7 o'clock.
01:20:12.180 She'll be in Comox tomorrow and in Black Creek on Friday.
01:20:16.740 Be sure to go to the Action for Canada website for more details so you can attend one of the events and show your love and support for Tanya.
01:20:24.740 I do have a special request.
01:20:26.640 Because we're in a spiritual battle, I ask that you please keep Tanya in your thoughts and prayers as she finishes up this tour.
01:20:33.500 Now, in keeping with tonight's theme of teamwork, cooperation, collaboration, and biblical activism, I want to share some encouraging Bible verses with you.
01:20:44.240 From 1 Peter 4.10, each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
01:20:55.240 From Philippians 2.3-4, in humility, value others above yourselves.
01:21:01.060 Not looking to your own interests, but each of you to the interests of the others.
01:21:07.140 And lastly, Proverbs 27.17, as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
01:21:14.900 Now, if you are in need of prayer or want to know how to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please reach out to us.
01:21:21.940 And now, on behalf of Tanya and the Action for Canada team, may the Lord bless you and protect you.
01:21:28.060 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
01:21:31.040 May the Lord show you His favor and give you His peace.
01:21:34.680 Good night, my friends.
01:21:36.160 God bless you and God bless Canada.
01:21:38.540 I'm going to thank God and God alone for the ground that I'm standing on.
01:22:00.600 I'm going to thank God's founding fathers for giving their lives and sacrificing so much for our freedom.
01:22:16.060 And I'm calling on you today.
01:22:19.340 Don't put them to shame.
01:22:21.540 Don't raise what they did.
01:22:23.420 We have guaranteed rights in this country.
01:22:34.080 We are putting chapters across the nation.
01:22:37.780 We are going to be in every town and every city.
01:22:41.500 And we are going to build communities within these communities of like-minded people
01:22:46.080 who are actually going to care for one another again and love on each other
01:22:49.940 and give each other the help when they're down.
01:22:53.060 We are going to build the teams and the people that build within chapters to support our businesses.
01:23:01.080 The government's actions are completely, 100% unlawful.
01:23:07.660 Judgment will again be found on justice.
01:23:10.640 And those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.
01:23:15.440 You have a virtuous heart if you are here today pursuing freedom and righteousness.
01:23:23.100 And then verse 23 comes along with a promise.
01:23:27.920 God says He will turn the sins of evil people back on them.
01:23:33.460 He will destroy them for their sins.
01:23:37.440 I take great comfort in that because I serve a mighty living God
01:23:44.880 who has allowed us to go through this season of discomfort
01:23:50.420 because we as a nation have turned our backs on Him.
01:23:54.960 And we need to get right.
01:23:57.380 So I am just going to thank you so much.
01:24:01.240 I'm going to say God bless you and God bless Canada.
01:24:07.440 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you.
01:24:37.440 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you.
01:25:07.440 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you.
01:25:37.440 God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you with you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and Him God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and God bless you and grace you
01:26:07.440 You
