At Kingsway Church we will be doing something specific in prayer. Every few weeks, we will intentionally pray for a different Foursquare Church, learning what God is doing through them, in them and with their communities. Our goal is that by connecting to and praying for other Churches across Canada, God will open our eyes - we will see the bigger picture of how He is working and moving through the power of prayer in this nation. We will Look and Watch... (Habakkuk 1:5)

Following Jesus Together

Cornerstone Church in Airdrie and Calgary, Alberta
PS BARRY AND AUDREY MARSTEN





Barry has pastored in Airdrie for over sixteen years and in January the Airdie and Calgary Churches officially became one church. They are now the Cornerstone Church. Barry reports that the transition has been exciting but not without its challenges. He asks for prayer for the furtherance of unity in their body and for each person to be able to quickly discover where they fit. The people are plugged into “Life Together Groups” which are followers of Jesus choosing to live in community. Their motto is simple ~ Following Jesus Together.

They are working very hard at impacting their communities by meeting very practical needs of people. In December they became the home of "Stephen's Backpacks", a ministry to homeless children who are living on the streets. The backpacks are filled with clothing items, blankets, toys, hygiene items and lots of love. Through this ministry they were able to bless over 1000 homeless children and teenagers in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and even Cranbrook.

They are renovating their building to house homeless people through a project called Inn From The Cold. Another church has donated equipment to house the homeless (cots, bedding, etc.) Praise the Lord! He is certainly providing the needs!

Other ministries for prayer:
- young married group and young adults groups
- expansion of Stephen’s Backpacks
- for people to come to Christ through Inn From the Cold
- youth and young married ministries
