After being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 40, Anke Jenkins, who was halfway through her chemotherapy treatments, decided to go on the adventure of a lifetime. That decision changed everything, not only for Anke and her children, but also for people on the other side of the world who she hadn't met yet.

They followed the star to where the humble infant was cradled in a manger. The wisemen then “bowed down and worshiped Him” (Matthew 2:11). Yet the religious leaders, who were not ignorant concerning the prophecy that declared the birthplace of the Messiah, refused to make the effort to go to Bethlehem to see for themselves. This was the beginning of their rejection of Christ. How do we prevent our hearts from growing cold to Jesus? See how you too can follow the star today and bring your gifts to Him, like the wisemen did so long ago.

ProGrace is a training and equipping organization whose vision is for Christians to embrace a grace-centered response to dealing with unplanned pregnancies; thus, creating communities where both the woman and the child can thrive. There are two foundational beliefs at the heart of the ProGrace mission: #1 God’s design for pregnancy was to intertwine a woman and a child. He has made it impossible for us to try to help one while bypassing the other, but instead calls us to work for the dignity and welfare of both. #2 God’s path for transformation for any of us is always grace, not judgment. So, we will extend the same grace we've received to any woman facing an unintended pregnancy.

Over the last few weeks, historic flooding occurred in British Columbia: mudslides, highways washed out, power outages, towns evacuated, land lost, vehicles lost, and lives lost. Bridges and mountain passes were also washed away, which meant that people were stranded alongside mountainous roads and highways, sometimes in their vehicles, and sometimes they had to abandon them. It’s hard to imagine how frightening that would be to be caught out in the cold in the middle of nowhere late at night, far from your home, not knowing how long you were going to be stranded or if you are going to even make it. One of the places where many people were stranded was along a back road near Hope, BC. A Christian campground called Camp Hope gladly took in close to 300 travelers. Listen to some of their heart-wrenching stories.

Clay and Sarah Weppler were both very active at the highest levels of Canadian winter sports - Sarah as a figure skater and Clay playing ice hockey. Their lives were challenged by a longing for much more than their ambitious sporting careers offered. Sarah already grew up with a strong foundation as a Christian, but Clay’s faith grew as he felt less and less satisfied with the various successes of his hockey career. Together they followed God leading them through the Bible and prayer, where they faced challenges causing them to at times sit in darkness where the LORD became a light to them.

Often when we look back on our lives we see a chain of circumstances where one decision led to the next and the next, and we realize that each decision led us to where we are today. And especially if we have dedicated our lives to the LORD, we see a magnificent mosaic of colourful events, which may not always be easy, but when we see God’s hand in it, we would have it no other way. This was certainly true for Paul and Raquel Antunes who are our special guests on IIWC today.
