“For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’.

Karen and I were connected through a local pastor here in Ontario who has been developing a ministry for small churches called Small Church Connections. She is the senior editor for the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada’s magazine Faith Today. I was privileged to do a podcast with Karen about the Flowers ministry this past winter.
Summer is winding down and fall is nearly upon us. This fall we are excited at Flowers to let you know about an upcoming article being published about the Flowers ministry. Faith Today is Canada’s leading evangelical magazine which connects evangelical Christians all across Canada, equipping them for ministry.
