Keeping one’s faith can be difficult. Believing in the unseen, believing in goodness in the midst of darkness. It is hard to keep your faith. It is especially difficult when we don’t see things happen the way we expect things to happen. Faith dwindles because it seems our prayers are unanswered. Strong faith becomes questionable faith, small becomes little faith, and if we are not careful, we can even lose our faith. How then do we hold onto faith? How…

Something that has been stuck on me the past couple of weeks is the idea that we can move from Fear to Faith. These words have sat in my spirit, and I have been reminded of so many times in my life where faith has replaced fear. Most people, including myself, can be afraid and weary of the new. New circumstances, new surroundings, new experiences all come with a degree of uncertainty. In fact, the older I get, the more I…

For those of you who joined us at the Family Weekend, I believe you now understand why I wrote my grade 8 assignment – the most interesting person you know – on Stephen Hawkins. I chose to write this paper when I was 13 years old. That was 28 years ago and I could write a new paper on him today. For LifeSpring, it felt like he was the right person, for the right time. A man that would encourage…

We had the wonderful privilege of hearing from a Board of Director and LifeGroup leader, Peggy Leung. Ray & Peggy have been part of the LifeSpring family for 15 years now and I remember the first day they walked into the basement of the church for an Overflow LifeGroup. They came broken and it was the love and grace of God that encountered them. The Holy Spirit met them, worked in them, transformed them, and even to this day continues to…

We had a wonderful privilege of hearing from Mae-Tuin Seto. Mae-Tuin shared that in her time of serving the LifeSpring family, God has been faithful. From little steps of obedience, to breakthrough moments, God has been doing more than she could have ever asked or imagined. As Mae-Tuin was sharing, the Lord impressed upon my heart her real, raw, and transparent feelings. Mae-Tuin shared pictures and moments of tremendous victories. We see young people while they were just toddlers, becoming…

We had a wonderful privilege of hearing from the Amecet team this past Sunday. As the LifeSpring family we count it a privilege to partner with Amecet and to be a part of what God is doing in and through them. The message contains sensitive material, so the recording is not posted publicly. If you would like to get a recording of the message, please contact a member of the pastoral team directly. As the team was speaking the Lord…

Every year we are required by law to have an Annual General Meeting (AGM). It is a necessary gathering to inform the church of the numbers, budgets, metrics, and overall analysis of the church. And although it may seem like nuisance at times, it has become a forced reminder for the church family to review God’s faithfulness! We can even see the growth and evolution of the church family. This was Josh Siu’s first time presenting the data as the…

Here at LifeSpring, we want to appreciate all the fathers out there. Physical, spiritual, soon-to-be, one day fathers–we want to appreciate every male in this house. I speak on behalf of my family and as a dad to this church: I love you guys. I am proud of you guys. You guys are good. We have amazing men in this church. We have had the blessing of encountering the Father’s heart and it is on full display as the love…

Another Sunday with the privilege to hear from Dr. Siang Yang. The more time I spend with Siang Yang the more I recognize that he truly loves God and relies on Him and he deeply cares and loves the Lifespring family. He shared with me that his assignment at this point in his life is to help young pastors (Gabe), counsellors (Andrew), and academics (Ryan) in their journey with the Lord. He is doing so for the Lifespring family. Siang…

What a packed, yet amazing, weekend for the Lifespring family. Friday evening was our very first 415 Food Hub of the year, Saturday we had Dr. Siang Yang do a training sessions, and Sunday we had Siang Yang as our speaker. My body is tired, but my spirit is filled to the brim. There was so much to unpack the last couple of days, but something the Lord has been highlighting to me is the same question that has come…

Happy Mother’s Day! We appreciate all the physical, spiritual, soon to be, one day mamas in the Lifespring family. We appreciate and love you for all you do, but importantly all that God has made you to be. When God created the male and the female, He created them similar but not the same. Both play unique roles and responsibilities in this world that is meant to make each other better. Genesis 2:18 “The Lord God said, “It is not…

Rabbi/Pastor/Teacher/Mr/Uncle/Grandpa Stephen Hawkins spoke to the church family this past weekend and it is just a taste of what is in store for us at the Family Weekend. As Ryan and I were reflecting on where God has taken the Lifespring family, one of the major moments of gratefulness was the fact that God has brought amazing people to teach and impart us Kingdom principles that have truly blessed us and carried us to where we are today. I think…
