ASSISTED SUICIDE
Expansion of assisted suicide will be voted on tomorrow in the Senate, and shortly after in Parliament. If this bill (C-7) passes it will make assisted suicide legal for the mentally ill and take off some current safeguards. Please click here to watch an update by video with Faytene Grasseschi and Alex Schadenberg.
CONVERSION THERAPY
This bill will also be voted on shortly. All Canadians are against the barbaric practice of conversion therapy as it is culturally understood. This bill, however, is vague enough that it has the possibility of encroaching on faith freedoms, the freedom of Canadians to receive the kind of care they want & parent rights. Taken to it's extreme, it could also lead to criminalization of parts of the Bible. Click here to watch an update from Jojo Ruba of Free to Care and Pastor Kevin Cavanaugh.
FAITH FREEDOM
Several churches across Canada are in court battles with various provincial governments, one pastor in Ontario is currently facing jail time and up to $10.8 million in penalties for his church and elders. Several cases will be litigated nationwide in the next weeks.
ELECTORAL INTEGRITY
The Federal government is currently considering legislation that could dramatically alter how elections in Canada (federally) are done.
REVIVAL AND HARVEST
Accounts of unprecedented moves of Holy Spirit, salvations, and repentance in the hearts of believers are moving powerfully in several churches across Canada. Many churches are experiencing exponential growth because of the hunger in the hearts of Canadians for Christ right now.
