Partnership

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”
Psalm 126:3
When Israel finally crossed the Jordan into the land God had promised, He told Joshua to do something that seems almost small. Pull twelve stones out of the riverbed and stack them where everyone would see them. Why?
"In the future, when your children ask you, 'What do these stones mean?' tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord." — Joshua 4:6–7
Memorial stones are how God's people refuse to forget what He did. This post is a stack of them. It is an honest look at what the Lord has done through Love on The World, Jesus Festival and the work Katie and I carry through e3 Canada — and an invitation into what He is about to do next, including a brand built to carry the gospel into culture: SIX33.
"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." — Psalm 126:3
In 2014, Katie and I stepped onto the streets of Hamilton, Ontario with food, prayer and the gospel. We called it Love on Hamilton. Week after week — rain, snow or heat — the team kept showing up: feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, praying for the sick and sharing Jesus with anyone who would listen.
It never felt big. It felt faithful. That turned out to be the point.
As word spread, believers in other cities started asking how to do the same thing where they lived. Between 2020 and 2022, Love on The World was established to help start and grow outreach groups anywhere.
Today Love on The World has active outreach groups meeting weekly in 12 cities, with prayer going up for 36 nations. Newcomers don't need experience or training first — you can find a group in your city, and if there isn't one, anyone can start a Love on City outreach. The full story lives on the Love on The World impact page.
None of this happened because of one gifted person. It happened because ordinary believers kept showing up. "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it" (1 Corinthians 12:27).
Jesus Festival Hamilton is a free, family-friendly gathering at Gage Park — worship, testimonies, prayer, food and practical love for the whole city, with no ticket required.
Across the 2024 and 2025 festivals, more than 10,000 people gathered at Gage Park and more than 6,000 hot dogs were served freely.
Then came September 4–5, 2026. The festival drew a record turnout, and early reports counted:
2026 was also the first Jesus Festival Niagara, and the City lit Niagara Falls yellow in recognition of it. Read the stories in Thank You, Hamilton and the full Jesus Festival history and impact.
Those numbers are not trophies. Each one is a person. The early Church had the same experience — "And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47) — and the same God is doing it in Hamilton.
A festival is a moment. Discipleship is a walk. One of the hardest lessons we learned on the streets is that people rarely fall away because nobody preached to them — they fall away because nobody followed up.
That's why we built Kingdom Base: a free evangelism and discipleship command center so every person met on a sidewalk, or at a festival altar call, is remembered, prayed for and followed up within 48 hours. Teams use it alongside a printable outreach tally sheet, the 48-hour follow-up field guide and the gospel conversation planner — all free.
Here's something new. Long before most of this, in 2014, we started a small apparel brand called Seek First. In 2026 it is being rebuilt from the ground up as SIX33 — a Christian lifestyle and performance culture brand built on Matthew 6:33:
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." — Matthew 6:33
SIX33 is unashamedly built to glorify God and remind people to seek Jesus first — while meeting people where culture actually lives: limited apparel drops, athletes and creators, events and stories. Everyone is welcome, wherever they are with faith.
And a big part of its heart is raising funds for Love on The World's street-level outreach. As SIX33 grows, the giving grows with it. Paul put it this way: "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some" (1 Corinthians 9:22). Some people will never walk into a church service, but they will notice what a friend is wearing, what an athlete stands for, or a story that won't let them go.
SIX33 hasn't announced a launch date — no fake countdowns. The first people in will be the Inner Circle. Join the SIX33 Inner Circle at SIX33.World, and read what SIX33 is and why it exists.
The stones behind us are why we can believe for what's ahead:
We serve as staff with e3 Ministry Canada, whose purpose is equipping God's people to evangelize His world and establish His Church. When you partner with us through e3, your gift is made to e3 Ministry Canada; e3 honours your preference to support our ministry, and gifts remain under e3's discretion for its charitable purposes.
If you want the biblical heart behind partnering — why the ones who send share the victory with the ones who go — read Plunder Hell, Populate Heaven.
Here's how to be part of the next stones:
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." — Habakkuk 2:14
One day our kids will ask what these stones mean. We want to be able to tell them: God did it — and a lot of ordinary people said yes.
