What an incredible day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa! We had the honour of welcoming more than 40 pastors and ministry leaders from across Central and South America, including Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and Costa Rica. It was so encouraging to see so many people travel from outside Canada to stand with us, and pray for revival in our nation.
During our time on Parliament Hill, we observed Question Period, prayed over the Supreme Court, and spent time praying in the Sullivan Chapel.
We wrapped up the day with a powerful gathering of worship, and prayer believing for renewal, and spiritual awakening across our country. Canada is not alone. Believers from around the world are praying, and believing with us that the wells of revival in our past would be unplugged.
"Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them."
Genesis 26:18

Good news on Medical Assistance in Dying Law
A joint committee of MPs and senators is urging the federal government to keep people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness ineligible for medical assistance in dying (MAID). It was the only recommendation that all parties on the committee could agree on after months of study. The recommendation comes ahead of a scheduled expansion of MAID eligibility next March, which will take effect unless Parliament passes new legislation to change it. Justice Minister Arif Virani says he needs a few weeks to review the report before deciding how the government will respond.
While this recommendation is encouraging, we are not out of the woods yet. The government still has important decisions to make, so please continue to pray for wisdom and discernment throughout this process. Pray especially for Justice Minister Arif Virani, that he would have eyes to see the implications of this decision clearly, the courage to act wisely, and a commitment to protecting vulnerable Canadians.

Weekly Prayer Points
Pray that God would reopen every spiritual well of prayer, worship, faith, and revival that has been blocked, neglected, or forgotten, and that a fresh hunger for His presence would arise in our lives, churches, and nation.
Pray for the grace to persevere through opposition and discouragement, just as Isaac continued digging despite conflict, trusting that God would ultimately lead him into a place of blessing and fruitfulness.
Pray for healing and restoration in families, churches, communities, and ministries, asking God to restore what has been lost and to cause the wells of His promises to flow again with fresh strength and purpose.
Pray for greater unity among believers across denominations, cultures, and generations, that together we would see the kingdom of God advance and that the Glory of God would cover the earth as the rivers cover the sea.
Pray that God would bring us into a season of growth, breakthrough, and fruitfulness, making room for His purposes to flourish in our Canada.
"Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land."
Genesis 26:22
