We are continually reminded that God’s timing is perfect and His provision is always enough. Over the past few months, the Lord has brought three young people to join the Christ For Your City team — each carrying unique gifts that align with His purposes for this season. Their arrival is an answer to prayer and a signpost that God is expanding the way we carry His message to the nations.
The first came at a time when we were asking the Lord how to release written content that would strengthen and encourage the Body of Christ. He approached us seeking mentorship, and as we talked, he shared that he was a writer. Immediately, we knew the Lord had set this in place.
The second came during the 50 Days to Your Pentecost video project. She carried a burning passion for media and was instrumental in helping us navigate the technical process of livestreaming. As we wrapped up that season, we felt the Lord prompting us to begin a podcast to continue sharing the testimonies and lessons He had given us. Before we could even extend the invitation, she offered her help.
The third arrived soon after — a young person gifted in audio editing, something we had long needed but could not yet fulfill. Again, the Lord had provided exactly what was required.
For many years, Ann and I have carried the call to go — to cross borders and walk alongside leaders, churches, and communities in Canada and across the nations. This remains our joy and passion. Now, in addition to that call, God is opening the door for the message of the Gospel of the Kingdom to travel further still, through written word, audio, and video. These avenues allow the testimonies, teachings, and encouragements we carry to reach people in places we cannot physically be — yet always with the same heart of discipleship and relationship.
As a team, we are launching The Father’s Life with Michael Pierce, a new podcast that will extend the work begun in 50 Days to Your Pentecost. Through stories of faith, and words of encouragement, our desire is to strengthen believers and their relationship with our Father. Alongside the podcast, we are releasing monthly blog posts, sharing not only updates from Christ For Your City but also stories of how God is transforming lives and communities.
Our heart in this is two-fold: to release the Gospel in every form of communication available, and to walk closely with these young interns as they grow in their relationship with the Lord and step into their God-given calling. We see in them the next generation of voices who will proclaim the truth of God’s Kingdom in every sphere of life.
The psalmist urges us in Psalm 96:3, “Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!” This is our heart in every blog post, every podcast episode, and every video — to proclaim the goodness of God and testify to His works. In this season, we see Him expanding the ways we can carry this declaration, ensuring that His glory is made known both near and far.
We invite you to pray with us — for these young leaders, for the work ahead, and for every word, every recording, and every video to carry His presence and His truth. May the Gospel go forth unhindered and may the Kingdom of God be revealed in every nation.
