BIBLE STUDY THIS FRIDAY! Friday, September 4 at 7 BIBLE STUDY THIS FRIDAY! Friday, September 4 at 7:00 PM Namesake Tattoo & Piercing 320 55 Avenue SW Food and drinks will be served! Bring a friend or two. There’s always room for more! Come as you are and let’s seek the Lord together, grow in our understanding of His Word, and discover more of the beautiful plans He has for our lives. “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105 EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
PRAISE JESUS! 🙌 THE LORD IS SO GOOD! God is movin PRAISE JESUS! 🙌 THE LORD IS SO GOOD! God is moving, and it’s such a beautiful thing to watch His children coming home to Him. ❤️ Yesterday, at our Breaking Bread gathering, we were incredibly blessed to witness another baptism—another person publicly declaring their faith in Jesus Christ and choosing to follow Him! There is nothing more beautiful than watching someone surrender the old life and step forward into the new life Christ has given them. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 All glory belongs to Jesus. We’re simply blessed to have a front-row seat to what He is doing. WELCOME HOME! 🙏❤️🔥
YOU EVER SEEN A BAPTISM IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK??? YOU EVER SEEN A BAPTISM IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK??? 🙌🔥💧 “We were buried with Him through baptism… in order that… we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4 PRAISE THE LORD! What an amazing day. So many people came out to volunteer, support the ministry & simply be the salt & the light. I’m so grateful for every person who showed up to support what God is doing. I couldn’t do any of this without all of you, but most importantly, I couldn’t do any of it without God. When I think about where my life was just a few short years ago, addiction, depression, loneliness, brokenness & separated from God, my wife, my children & my family, then look at what Jesus Christ has done in my life today, I can only say: PRAISE GOD. Through the restoring power of Jesus Christ, I have been made new. He restored my family, gave me purpose & replaced darkness with light, loneliness with love & emptiness with a desire to serve Him. Now I get to go out with an incredible family of believers & help others discover that same hope & restoration through Jesus Christ. Today reminded me again that church was never meant to exist only inside four walls. WE ARE THE CHURCH. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. Mark 10:45 That truth has been heavy on my heart lately. So many of us want to be the best servants in the church, but what if our focus was on becoming the best servants of GOD? We should honor our pastors & leaders, but they are not our ultimate standard. JESUS IS THE STANDARD. HIS WORD IS THE STANDARD. HIS KINGDOM IS THE MISSION. When Christ is our benchmark, His Word challenges us, our ministries, our churches & our leaders. But most importantly, it challenges ME. That is where refinement, growth & transformation happen. Today we served. Today we loved. Today we fellowshipped. & today someone publicly declared their new life in Christ. ALL GLORY TO JESUS. 🙌🔥. AND YES… WE DID BAPTIZE SOMEONE IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK #Baptism #MadeNew #JesusChrist #BeTheChurch #SaltAndLight NamesakeMinistries
10,000 MEALS HANDED OUT!! 🙌❤️✝️ Praise our Lord a 10,000 MEALS HANDED OUT!! 🙌❤️✝️ Praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Yesterday was bittersweet. Being away on vacation meant missing outreach for the first time, but our amazing team carried everything forward and reached an incredible milestone: Our 10,000th meal was handed out! Along the way, we’ve also handed out over 500 Bibles, plus countless socks, blankets, winter coats, clothing and other necessities. But the greatest blessing isn’t the numbers. It’s sharing the Gospel, praying with people and watching lives change. We’ve seen people come off the streets into detox and rehab, and even into homes of their own. This started with me walking the streets alone, connecting with people and sharing the hope, love and salvation found only in Jesus Christ. What it has become is beyond anything I imagined, and I truly believe this is only the beginning. Thank you to everyone who volunteers, donates, gives clothing or food, prepares meals and prays for this ministry. ❤️ A special thank you to @experience.church and Pastors Jonathan @ecnatasha for their continued support, including helping provide our food and Bibles. Thank you to Pastor @jasonklammer & Pastor @liz_klammer for your spiritual support and encouragement. Thank you to Spring Church for continuing to provide devotional books. Thank you to Pastor @jeremyprest & @thrivedailyshow for your support and desire to serve alongside us. And thank you to Grace Point Church & Pastor Brian for supporting us and serving alongside us with your youth. One vision the Lord placed on my heart was bringing different churches together to serve as one Body of Christ. Today, our ministry has people from 17 different churches serving side by side. Different churches. Different gifts. One Lord. One Gospel. One Body. “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” — 1 Corinthians 12:27 Most of all, thank You, Father. Thank You, Jesus. None of the glory belongs to us. It all belongs to You. 10,000 meals down, and by the grace of God, we’re only getting started! 🙌❤️✝️
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and help A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and helped prepare sandwiches for tomorrow’s outreach! It’s such a blessing to see people giving their time, energy, and hearts to serve others. Every sandwich prepared, every conversation shared, and every act of kindness is another opportunity to show our community the love of Jesus. Tomorrow we get to take that love to the streets—to serve, encourage, pray, and remind people that they are seen and valued. We hope to see many of you out there serving alongside us! “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” — Colossians 3:17 We are blessed to serve, grateful for every willing hand, and excited to see what God does tomorrow! ❤️🙏 To God be all the glory!

AMAZING MILESTONES — ALL GLORY TO GOD! Hey everyo AMAZING MILESTONES — ALL GLORY TO GOD! Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to share a couple of amazing milestones with you all. Thank you to everyone who continues to help out and a special thank you to @experience.church for not only believing but also helping me with a lot of the food , bibles, willing vessels , discipleship amongst other things as well!! ❤️ This upcoming outreach, we will hand out our 10,000th meal in just the last two years. That is a milestone I honestly never could have imagined when this started. But God is so good, and He continues to surpass anything we could have imagined. And it goes far beyond the meals. 👕 Over 500 garbage bags of clothing distributed 🧥 Over 500 winter coats last year alone 🧦 Thousands of pairs of socks 🔥 Thousands of hand warmers 🛏️ Hundreds of blankets most importantly, handing out over 500 Bibles. .. all these other things are great, but the most important thing is sharing the good news… allowing everyone the opportunity for eternal life that only comes through Jesus Christ And behind every one of those numbers is a person. Someone who was fed. Someone who was kept warm. Someone who was prayed for. Someone who was reminded that they are seen, valued, and loved. But the greatest thing we have been able to give isn’t something that comes in a bag or on a plate. It’s the hope and good news of Jesus Christ. So thank you to every single person who has remained committed to serving the Kingdom. Whether you’ve cooked meals, sorted clothing, picked up donations, prayed with someone, served on the streets, donated, cleaned up, or helped behind the scenes — you are part of every one of these milestones.

Getting the warehouse/donation center in order! 🙌 Getting the warehouse/donation center in order! 🙌 We’ve been growing so fast and receiving so many amazing donations that we’ve honestly been running out of space. What an incredible problem to have! God has blessed this ministry with so much, and now it’s time for us to make sure we’re being good stewards of everything He has provided. Tonight we started putting up more shelving and getting everything organized, and we’ll be back at it again tomorrow. Soon, we’ll finally have a proper place for all the clothing and donations so our teams can sort everything efficiently and get it into the hands of the people who need it most. A huge thank you to all my brothers in Christ who came out tonight to help, and to those coming tomorrow as well. This is what the Body of Christ looks like—different people, different gifts, but all working together for one purpose. “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33 And I love this one when I think about all the brothers coming together: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:17 Little by little, shelf by shelf, donation by donation, we’re getting things in order and preparing for what God is doing next. All glory to Jesus. 🙏❤️

There is no “us” and “them.” There’s just us. Dif There is no “us” and “them.” There’s just us. Different stories. Different circumstances. Different walks of life—but the same people, made in the image of the same God. Today we shared food, clothes, conversations and prayers. But more than anything, we shared space with one another—because everyone deserves to be seen, valued and loved. “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” — Romans 12:10 One city. One people. One God. 🤍 #StreetMinistry #Calgary #YYC #LoveInAction #ServeYYC
Some people came for a meal. Some came for clothes Some people came for a meal. Some came for clothes. Some came because they simply needed someone to care. ❤️ Every Sunday reminds us that ministry isn't about numbers—it's about names, stories, and people created in the image of God. We shared meals, clothing, conversations, and prayers. We laughed together, cried with some, and watched strangers become friends. Sometimes the greatest miracle isn't something dramatic—it's someone realizing they're not invisible. Thank you to every volunteer who gave up part of their weekend to love Calgary well. Your faithfulness is making an eternal impact, one person at a time. How can we pray for you this week? Drop it in the comments or send us a message. We'd be honoured to pray with you. "Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." — 1 John 3:18 #NamesakeMinistry #LoveCalgary #StreetMinistry #BeTheChurch #FaithInAction

He’ll tell you plainly: the only reason he survived prison was the hope of Jesus. Now he’s taking that same power to the front lines.

🤍 It takes a village... apparently even to carry a 🤍 It takes a village... apparently even to carry a box of ice cream sandwiches. 😂🍦 But that’s what we love most about this team. We laugh together. We serve together. We pray together. We grow together. Some of us came looking for a place to serve and found something we didn’t expect,a family. If you’re looking for a place to serve, to belong, and to be part of a family that’s passionate about loving God and loving people, we’d love to meet you. Send us a DM and come serve with us. 🤍 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” — John 13:35
🤍 Love your neighbour. Yesterday, we had the privi 🤍 Love your neighbour. Yesterday, we had the privilege of joining thousands of churches around the world for Serve Day, a reminder that the Church is at its best when it steps beyond its walls and into the community. Together, we served at the Drop-In Centre, sharing clothing, food, conversation, and prayer with those we met along the way. We also had the opportunity to pray with a peace officer, reminding us that everyone regardless of their role, title, or season of life needs hope, encouragement, and prayer. No matter where you are in life, our heart is the same: to serve with compassion, to pray without hesitation, and to share the love of Jesus with everyone we encounter. Thank You, Jesus, for every conversation, every prayer, and every opportunity to be Your hands and feet. 🤍 A Simple Yes. 🌍 Gospel to All Nations. 📖 “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16
