Dear friends,

Thank you so much for taking part in Burn Canada’s Inaugural Fundraiser, “Coming to the Table” on April 4th. It was an incredible night of gathering friends, both new and old, to support and learn about what God is doing. We appreciate each and every one of you and were so encouraged to see so many people coming together. We felt very loved.

THANK YOU!!!!

So what does your support go towards? 

i. Your support goes towards administration fees, travel expenses, website and communication fees, planning and presentation software fees, licensing fees, event and equipment insurance, Equipment purchases and rentals, varying costs for putting on small and large outdoor worship events including venue rentals and permits, hospitality costs for feeding volunteers, supplies, and promotional materials for events, and we hope to begin covering basic living wages for our 4 key staff members (see who they are below).

What do we still need?

We need Financial monthly partners who can commit to ongoing monthly support for Burn Canada. Our Non-profit has been taken on as an official project under the Great Commission Foundation, which gives us full charitable status and the ability to issue tax receipts. On our GCF Project page, there are 4 designation options for donors to give to our general fund as well as staff members who are raising support. Please click link below to donate.

If you are unable to partner with us financially at this time, we completely understand and are so grateful for every person who is connected to us, whether they can give or not. We are family first. There are also many other ways to support, such as volunteering time, making a meal and bringing it to one of our events to care for our volunteers, spreading the word, bringing friends to events, inviting us to your communities, reaching out with a message of encouragement or sharing a testimony of what God has done, but most importantly, prayer support. We cannot move forward without intercession and prayer! 

If You’re Still Wondering What We Do and Why We Need Support:

A.    Annual Worship Summits: This week, April 11-14th, our Burn Family Summit is taking place at Camp Qwanoes on Vancouver Island. Leaders from across Canada, and the US, are coming together to build Kingdom family and Train. We are required to do these annually.

B.    Firestarter Conferences: We mentor and equip believers of all ages on Kingdom Authority, Worship, Discipleship and Evangelism (collaborating with Disciple a City, Kingdom Lights and Proclaiming the Kingdom). Our second conference this year is coming up in May in Blaine, and we hope to do more of these throughout 2024. 

C.     Burn Worship Gatherings: Happening across Canada, weekly and monthly, please see our Website BurnCanada.com for more info under “Find a Furnace.” 

D.    Burn Wagon: 2024's Canadian Missions trip to Alberta, June 17-27th, to encourage local Burn furnaces, do street outreach, and support other churches while on tour. Many times, when we go into a community and serve, we see massive spiritual shifts take place within the churches and communities that welcome us.

E.     Let Us Worship, Canada: We are building teams and coordinating across Canada from Nova Scotia to BC for “Let Us Worship” coming this September 5-8th.
