Willy's life’s passion is to see people meet and be transformed by Jesus. Although, he was raised in a loving, Christian home, God didn’t get a hold of his life until he was 18—"I knew about Jesus growing up, but I didn’t actually know Jesus. When I met Jesus, everything changed: my priorities, interests, and life purpose."

Willy is the Executive Director for Ignite Prayer Canada—a group of ministry, network, pastoral, and denominational leaders who seek to equip and empower local churches in cultivating cultures of kingdom prayer and becoming houses of prayer.

We live in a time of great spiritual interest and searching. This is the time for God’s people to work together for God’s glory and the transformation of lives across Canada.

It’s the Sabbath. The day on which God rests from the work of creation has become the day on which He rests in the grave from the work of recreation. I imagine the smell of those spices and perfumes prepared by the women filling their house all day. I imagine their many tears. Their hushed conversations. Their attempts to pray.

Listen to the rest here: Journey to the Cross: Walk With Jesus this Lent

"Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man. He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before." -Luke 23:50-53 NKJV
