I am extremely grateful for those who been coming along side of Canada Arms of Love (CAL Ministries), in the past couple of months.
From Jan 1st-April 30th, 2008, I will be functioning on two tracks, partly as the Associate Executive Director of the Canadian Convention of Southern Baptists & partly, more fully developing the foundation of CAL Ministries. We will be continuing to coordinate the Formal Launch & Fund Raiser for this exciting new ministry! (Launch Event - April 25, 2008 - details to come.)
Brenda (my wife) & I are really trusting God to lead our lives & provide a strong support base, so that I can give my VERY best in reaching & encouraging people with the Love of Jesus. I cannot express how extremely grateful I am for your being willing to walk with me in the early stages of this ministry.
Canada Arms of Love is not “just DK’s ministry!” It’s ours, with DK being called by God to lead CAL Ministries. Only our God knows exactly where we are headed & how we will get there. But be assured that He has a plan & if we will just “stay the course”, with God’s help, we’ll see some great things happen & this is going to be quite the journey. Thanks for being in the boat with me!

Welcome!
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Welcome to the "Canada Arms of Love" blog. We are excited to be planning and working toward the official launch of this ministry in May of 2008.
For those of you who are in the Cochrane, Alberta area, (or anywhere else if you want to come!)set aside Friday, April 25 so that you can come and join us for our official launch party! We have some special things in the works, so check back on this blog and on the website for more details later.
We began preliminary work on the planning for Canada Arms of Love in the fall of 2007. We came up with some initial plans - in very rough draft form - to at least give people a bit of an idea of what this ministry will be about.
We are now at the stage where we are applying for charity status so that we can give folks receipts for their donations. That process may take awhile, so for now, the Canadian Convention of Southern Baptists has offered to set up CAL as a ministry under the CCSB, so that we can do the receipting through them for now. That is very much appreciated.
We have also set up an agreement with an organization in the US - Texas Arms of Love - so that US donors can send their donations there and receive receipts for them. (And by the way, we are a Canadian organization, entirely separate from Texas Arms of Love, but their name was the inspiration for our name.)
(Donations details are on the Donate/Support page on the website.)
We recently decided on a logo - which you can see on the website, so we are now working on some of our promotional materials.
We would appreciate your prayers as we plan for this ministry - that God would clearly direct our steps and that we would clearly hear God's directions.
