“Dear brothers and sisters, honour those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work.”
1Thessalonians 5:12-13 NLT
It was a busy week—this last week—for our Canadian Leadership team. They met for most of the week to plan, seek God, worship, and pray.
We are so blessed that our ACOP Leadership takes the time to seek the heart of God for our ACOP Family and for the work that He’s laid out for us—we’re not done!
Let’s ask God to refresh each of their hearts and minds, and that they would find some rest this summer.

Friendly Reminders #
Leading in ministry is highly demanding and extremely stressful – so much so that it’s common for leaders and their spouses to struggle with discouragement, burnout and relational issues.
