Camp season is almost upon us! Check out all our incredible ACOP camps below, and hold them in prayer as they gear up for summer! Lives are changed every year at camp, and we are trusting this year will be no different.

Collin and Eema of Kangirsuk, Nunavik, were discovered by a drone over the salt water (Ungava Bay), which would have been about 15 km downstream from where the tragic accident took place.

The families and the town of Kangirsuk will now be able to celebrate their young lives and trust the Lord for strength and comfort as they close this difficult chapter.

Please continue to pray for their children, Samaiya (11), Alexander (6), and Aqikki (3), who will likely be enfolded by their community and adopted locally. 

At our recent conference in Calgary, we announced the creation of several cohorts within the Fellowship. Those will now be starting up in September. In the meantime, stay tuned for more information later this summer!

If you took any photos during our Stirred Up conference, we'd love to see them! We are still waiting on the professional photos from the week (and will let you know when we get them!), but we want to see yours too! You can send photos to communications@acop.ca. 

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."*

Is this the manliest verse in the Bible?

"Act like men" is one word in the Greek (andrizomai); it's like a knock on the chin, a manly encouragement to survey the threats, to watch like a soldier, aware and alert. 

To be strong is not 'benching 300 pounds,' but it is being so deeply rooted in God's truth, that when Satan tells you to "curse God and die," you, as a Father, husband, pastor, and friend, have the strength to "let all that you do be done in love." (vs. 14)

You are not shaken, man of God, and for that we bless you this Father's Day.

 *1 Corinthians 16:13 ESV
