Welcome Message
from our Leaders
Dear Esteemed Sons and Daughters of The Most High,
Welcome to our Annual General Conference 2025! It is with great joy that we gather together under the theme “Higher Each Day.” This theme serves as a powerful reminder of God’s call for us to deepen our relationship with Him, seeking a higher level of intimacy that we can experience every single day.
As we journey through this conference, let us embrace the truth that God desires for us to know Him more profoundly. In our daily lives, we are encouraged to cultivate this intimate connection, drawing closer to Him in every moment.
We also recognize that the enemy may plant obstacles and distractions in our path, aiming to hinder our growth and our connection with God. Despite the obstacles, we stand firm in the assurance that God has made a way for us – not only to navigate through these challenges, but also to transform the devil’s schemes into opportunities for our elevation. Each challenge can thus become a stepping stone towards a greater revelation of His Glory in our lives.
We are truly grateful that you have decided to join us for this year’s conference. Our prayer is that this gathering will be a rich blessing to each and every one of you. At its conclusion, I pray that you will leave carrying the insights and the encouragement you receive, inspiring others to seek a higher calling and deeper relationship with our Lord.
Let us embark on this journey together, lifting each other up and striving to grow in faith and understanding. Welcome once again, and may this conference elevate our spirits, causing us to climb higher and grow closer to the heart of God!

Higher Each Day (Colossians 3:1–2) isn’t just a theme—it’s about growing closer to God daily. Reaching higher ground with Him brings safety, clarity, and purpose. But this growth takes commitment and consistency. It’s a process designed by God to deepen our understanding and spiritual maturity.
To truly grow in God, we must build a close relationship with Him—one where we know He cares about every part of our lives and speaks to us according to our unique calling. When we see our challenges as chances to grow, we start to understand our special place in God’s Kingdom.
Look at Joseph’s life: betrayed by his brothers and imprisoned for years, yet God used those trials to prepare him for a greater purpose. Joseph’s faith and humility allowed him to rise in God’s timing and forgive those who wronged him.
To climb higher, we need more than desire—we need to be called by God and stay faithful through His process. Prayer and fasting helps, but it’s consistency that shapes us and prepares us for greater things.
As this conference begins, we welcome you. I pray that the Word spoken will inspire you to keep pressing forward. Let what you hear transform you. Don’t just hear the word; listen. Listening produces behaviour. Listen to the message; believe the message; become the message (for faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God). May you leave this conference renewed and ready to carry out the Kingdom mandate. God bless you, in Jesus' name.

Our History
Conference started in 2012 with A Word from a Distance when, at the prompting of Pastor Andrew S. Henry by the Holy Ghost, Elder Kevin Colquhoun (then newly-minted Pastor of the Wisdom & Life Church in Cambridge, Ontario) came to meet and minister to the brethren in the “Upper Room” on Montreal’s Gouin Blvd. At least two souls were baptized in the name of Jesus by the end of that service after hearing that I Am is a Jealous God. The following year saw The Abundance of Rain as we not only planned our first full three-day conference but also renovated and moved into our new storefront home days before the conference began.
From that first conference, we witnessed miraculous healings as well as spiritual healing and growth/maturity on an individual and congregational level as the 2014 conference speakers showed us through the imitable Word of God that we Possess the Power to Heal. After a year of healing came the Unity that Cultivates the Anointing, demonstrating practically how true church culture includes a place for whosoever will obey Jesus Christ. Why? Because Holiness Is Not a Rule; it’s a Lifestyle that any soul seeking isolation with the Creator of all things can live.
We were shaken to our core in the year of Apostolic Conception when Jesus asked again the question: Who do Men Say That I Am? The answer that came back forced us to our faces as we carefully considered our lives, our behaviours, and our religious practices in light of the unchanging Word of God. But being the compassionate and fair Father that He is, Jesus came to remind us that, despite the pain of enduring process of transformation, The Best is Yet to Come to all those who suffer with Christ and trade our dependence on what we think for what He says. The reassurance drove us to our knees for a year, cancelling everything so we could seek the face of Jesus Christ, even before the pandemic shut down all other gatherings.
After five years of reflection, repentance, revision, and renewal, we came back with our cups turned up, eagerly awaiting The Return of this Kingdom experience and, more importantly, the eminent return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. While there is much work to be done in these last hours, we keep one hand to the plow and the other holding up our emptied vessels, ready to hear from the Lord. We are ready for this Kingdom move and invite whosoever will to get ready and stay ready because it’s Rapture Time.
