More people reached. More churches strengthened. More leaders released.

That is the vision driving Resurgence as we close 2026 and prepare for the year ahead. For 18 years, we have carried a clear mission: reach people, revive churches, and release leaders. What we witnessed this year has deepened our conviction that we must make room for more.

In 2026, we saw more people come to Jesus than in any year of our history. But the opportunity before us reaches far beyond what we have already experienced.

In Thailand, we stood alongside local churches and proclaimed Jesus in schools, universities, night markets, and a Gospel festival in Suphan Buri. Hundreds responded to the Gospel. People experienced healing. Churches came together to reach their communities.

Across Canada, we saw people respond to God in churches, camps, and gatherings. At Sunnyside Young Adult Camp, nine young adults were baptized on the final night. In Yellowknife, Fort Resolution, Fort Smith, and Hay River, we served alongside churches carrying the hope of Jesus in northern communities.

These moments point toward the future we are building: more people encountering Jesus, more churches equipped to

reach their communities, and more believers stepping into their calling.

Now we need the capacity to carry this mission further.

There are communities we want to return to, leaders who need encouragement and equipping, and people who have yet to hear the Gospel. We want to send more teams into those places and equip more people to go.

In Edmonton, we are cultivating spaces for worship, prayer, evangelism, and connection across churches. Across Canada, we are strengthening pastors, investing in young adults, and helping develop healthy evangelists. Through strategic international partnerships, we are preparing to serve alongside local churches in places where the Gospel is still unfamiliar to many.

Through the Spirit-Empowered Leader Assessment and Empower Curriculum, we are helping people grow as whole, Spirit-led, relational, fruitful, and Kingdom-minded leaders. Expanding these resources online will make that development accessible to more churches and individuals wherever they live.

We are also building a media department and hiring a full-time media director. Teaching can equip someone long after a gathering ends. A testimony can awaken faith in someone we may never meet. A Gospel message can reach a person in their home, on their phone, and in a moment when they are searching for hope.

We believe it is time to build for that kind of reach.

As we close 2026 and prepare for 2027, we are inviting you to take part in three ways:

1. Pray for What Is Ahead

We are gathering 168 intercessors committed to praying weekly for Resurgence. Through a weekly SMS prayer prompt, you can pray specifically for communities, ministry opportunities, leaders, and teams carrying the Gospel.

2. Build With Us Through Monthly Partnership

Our goal is to add $2,000 in new monthly support, providing a stronger foundation for ongoing ministry and growth.

A monthly gift of $30, $50, $100, or another amount helps sustain this vision throughout the year. You can also spread an annual contribution across 12 months to help us plan and commit to the opportunities ahead.

3. Help Raise $60,000 Before Year-End

We are believing for $60,000 by December 31, 2026, to build capacity for the next season—developing our media department, expanding leadership resources, and supporting more teams and ministry opportunities.

Would you make a year-end gift that helps move this vision forward?

Imagine more teams carrying the hope of Jesus into northern communities. More young adults discovering their calling. More pastors equipped to lead healthy churches. More people encountering the Gospel through a message that reaches them right where they are.

This is the future we are inviting you to help build.

There are more places to go. More people to reach. More leaders to release.

Let’s say yes together.
