The Marketplace as an Untapped Ministry Field

Wayne Mosley

Kathy Blakely

Wayne Mosley (Co-founder): Wayne is a life-time believer/follower of Jesus Christ and has served in business and ministry all of his adult life.

Justice & Mercy Track

Natalie Appleyard

Natalie Appleyard has been blessed in coming to a deeper knowledge and intimacy with Christ through the mentorship, friendship, and spiritual disciplines of people from a variety of Christian traditions. She dreams of a renewed witness of love & unity for the church as we better understand and live out what it means to love our neighbours, and to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.

Service & Justice Go Hand in Hand

Direct service provides us an opportunity to form relationships with our neighbours, helping us better know, love, and serve them. It can also make us aware of deeper issues behind the needs we are addressing that our loving service, while valuable, cannot fix. “Advocacy” can be a daunting term and is sometimes confused with partisan politics, but in this workshop, we will explore how service and advocacy go hand-in-hand in loving and walking with our neighbours. Drawing from real historic and contemporary examples, we will explore how God’s call for love and justice can be lived out through both service and advocacy.  Panelists will include Darlene O’Leary, Citizens for Public Justice; Rev. Monique Stone, Julian of Norwich Anglican Church; and Rebekah Sears, Mennonite Central Committee Ottawa.

Chelsea Oleniuk

Chelsea Oleniuk has been with MoveIn Ottawa for over 8 years now. She is passionate for her generation to imitate Christ and literally move in to the neighbourhood, specifically among the unreached, urban poor. She has worked in many different sectors including hospitality, non-profit, government, and government relations and currently leads her own firm called Hearth Communications. She and her husband Paul have two adopted children and a newborn boy.

MoveIn: Prayer, Presence, and the Urban Poor

MoveIn is about copying Jesus’ example by literally moving in to the neighbourhood. Something amazing happens when a group of Christians intentionally moves into a neighbourhood to pray and be. In doing so, they have chosen to become part of the neighbourhood. Rather than visiting or serving and then going away, they share in their neighbourhood’s joys, and in its troubles; they are there as salt and light. These Christians can act as the hands and feet of Christ – with a cup of cold water in one hand and the good news in the other. Starting with one “patch” in Toronto, there are now MoveIn teams in 48 cities around the world.

Connect Care Ottawa: a city-wide vision to see churches embrace children and families in crisis.

Connect Care Ottawa desires to see that every child in the welfare system has a family and every family has a church. In this workshop we will discuss how to connect churches to meaningful relationships within their community, equip them to establish a culture of care, and mobilize them to take effective action so that all the requests of hurting children and families will be embraced by a church.  We will learn about Care Portal, a revolutionary online development that makes local churches aware of the needs in their neighbourhood in real time by partnering the church with social services. God’s heart is for the orphan, fatherless and vulnerable. Let’s follow his heart together!

Timothy has also recently completed a Doctor of Ministry in Leadership at Gordon-Conwell Seminary.

Developing Intercultural Leadership

Developing leaders who are capable in today’s changing climate, means responding to the ever-growing complexity of multicultural and multiethnic communities. Especially – but not exclusively – in our Canadian urban centers, migration and immigration has changed our neighbourhoods into dynamic organisms that require cultural sensitivity and intercultural competency. Training Canadian leaders necessitates both diaspora and local participation being equipped side by side in order for real collaborative efforts to bear fruit in God’s Kingdom.

Pastor Luke Haggett has pastored for 10 years, 8 of those years as a youth pastor in the Ottawa area.  He believes in helping youth face their doubts, find answers to their questions and in challenging them to actively live out their faith.  Luke recently chaired a team in Ottawa with the goal to inspire young people to launch Youth Alpha courses in their school.  In 2016 Luke became the Lead Pastor of Chapel Ridge Free Methodist Church but his passion for youth and young adults remains central to his enthusiasm for ministry.

Ottawa’s Next Generation Leaders of Today

We often see people do amazing things and think, “I could never do that” or “they have a gifting I just don’t have”.   Please don’t ever let this stop you from going after an idea God has placed on your heart.  Rather, Come, be inspired by what God is doing in Ottawa through young adults, who stepped out in faith, said yes to God, had a bold vision and ran it.   Several young leaders will share briefly about what God inspired them to do and how he is using them.  You will be encouraged, yes, but hopefully you will also leave challenged to either inspire other young people to chase the vision God is given them, or be that next young leader taking action on the idea God has given you.

Rick speaks on Canadian church and cultural trends, including the new Young Adult Transition Research about faith and the crucial year after high school.

Renegotiating Faith

Many students disengaged from faith and church during important transitions in life.  There are few more important transitions for a young person than moving from high school to life after high school. Unfortunately, much of our ministry to youth tends to end when their time in high school ends. In this session we will look at what new Canadian research tells us about this transition period and what is playing the most significant roles in terms of our students’ faith formation. See RenegotiatingFaith.ca for more information about the research.
