In God’s design, a requirement for growth and fruitfulness is sunshine. Sunshine is vital for plants because it is a source of energy that plants need that creates food for growth and survival. Without sunshine, plants will not grow strong and may not grow at all. In fact, if two seeds are in the exact same environment (soil, water, etc.), but one seed is given sunlight and the other is given no sunlight – the difference is that one will…

Another Sunday and another amazing blessing from a guest speaker. This past Sunday we had the privilege of hearing from Jenny (Remember Ministries), who has been instrumental in helping the LifeSpring family in our refugee sponsorship process. As Jenny was sharing her journey into refugee ministry, the Lord highlighted that everything changed when Jenny encountered and experienced the heartbeat and love of God. God did not put ideas in her head first, God gripped and changed her heart. Once God…

We had the amazing privilege of having Donnett and Daniel from Compassion Canada to come speak to us this past Sunday. They encouraged us and thanked us as a partner. Part of the guidance LifeSpring felt this year was to be generous, so we decided to sow our 2024 surplus. One of the projects we decided to sow into was a mother & baby survival program in Rubongi, Uganda. The project details can be found HERE. Rubongi has a special place…

We had the privilege of hearing from Mary Cho, a missionary to Sierra Leone in West Africa. She shared about her adventures and challenges serving in a foreign nation founded on witchcraft while serving and loving those often forgotten. Mary serves at a blind school. As Mary spoke to the church family, she kept encouraging us that although our lives and surroundings seem so far apart, we were all part of the same body. In my quiet time this past…

In God’s design, a requirement for growth and fruitfulness is the act of pruning. Pruning is the process of cutting away dead or overgrown branches/stems. The act of pruning is required to increase fruitfulness and growth. When Karyne is working in her garden, she is constantly snipping away. I often see dead branches and leaves being cut off so that it makes room for the new. However, sometimes I see her cut off large, fresh, and lively branches. In cutting…

Having the Wi family here in Toronto was such an amazing time. For me, it was extremely nostalgic. Every place that Adrian & Sherene went, I was reminded of moments that happened over 15 years ago where we shared laughs, tears, and moments with the Lord. Whether it was in the Fireside room where we used to have Overflow, in the sanctuary where I decided to go into the priesthood, or at Redeemer where I had a deep encounter with…

It has been so good to have the Wi family back the past couple of days and we are so excited as they continue to prepare to speak at our upcoming Family Weekend. The Wi boys are so big, Sherene is still mama bear, and Adrian is still short. Everything is so different, yet everything is the same. In worship, I saw a fast-forwarded vision. I saw hundreds of moments where the Holy Spirit had fell over the people of…

We had the privilege of listening to my beautiful and amazing wife, Karyne. She taught lessons from her garden, but more importantly the things God has been showing and revealing to her as she nurtures growth. Take a listen and be blessed! One thing that the Lord was highlighting to me as she spoke was her statement that “Everything Wants to Grow”. In God’s divine creation there is a God-given mandate to simply grow. We can find it for mankind…

In God’s design, a requirement for growth and fruitfulness is proper nutrition. Nutrients are substances that provide the fuel required to support growth, maintain health, and even repair damage. Having the proper nutrition for seeds will determine the health of the seed. It can stunt the growth, maintain its maturity, or help it flourish to fruitfulness. Nutrients are found in many different forms – including fertilizer, aka poop! The bottom line is, seeds require nutrition for fruitfulness. And in our…

In God’s design, a requirement for growth and fruitfulness is the process of germination. The process of germination, in essence, is the breaking and dying of the old so that the new can come. In fact, Jesus teaches us the following principle: Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. John 12:24 The process of germination is not glamorous or extravagant, in fact,…

Praise God for an amazing report of God’s provision and guidance at our 2025 AGM. God is so good. He has entrusted us and blessed us with more than we could have ever imagined. In a year where the world’s economy was shaken (I personally felt an ~30% decrease in revenues), the Lifespring family posted a $141,000 surplus! A surplus that, through prayer and seeking to hear the Lord, we felt the Lord guide us to sow in its entirety.…

Fathers, please hear this: We Love You, We are Proud of You, and You Are Good! Being a father is an interesting journey. When I am became a father to Justus, I started to talk to my child like a Singapore aunty. “Wah – so cute lah”. And Karyne looked at me and just said “why are you speaking like that?” I had no idea. I saw my mom do that. When I see a small child I instinctively just…
