George and Karen serve with EveryEthne, a part of the ABWE family of ministries. EveryEthne is aimed at mobilizing local churches to identify and own the lostness of their culturally, socially, and religiously diverse communities, so that every man, woman, and child has repeated opportunities to hear, see, and respond to the Gospel. In this role, George and Karen invest time and energy in the following two important projects.
- OPEN TORONTO INITIATIVE: ABWE is asking God to raise up a team of 12-15 church planters to begin working among up to five unreached people groups in the Greater Toronto Area. George and Karen are part of that number! The team will have a field leader, church planters, and other teammates focused on building evangelistic relationships within these communities using creative platforms like teaching English and home Bible studies. Beginning with small groups, they will plant thriving churches within existing Canadian churches, in partnership with FEB Central and other like-minded organizations. George and Karen will start with RESEARCH and SURVEY TRIPS to various parts of the GTA in order to identify future locations for ministry. When other leaders and workers are in place, George and Karen will continue to CONSULT and ASSIST in the ministry.
- HEART, MIND & SOUL – MUSLIM SEMINARS: ABWE’s Heart, Mind & Soul – Muslim seminar is an interactive seminar designed to help believers build grace and truth relationships with unbelieving Muslims within their community. Through each interactive seminar, believers are equipped to lovingly engage Muslims in a biblically and culturally appropriate manner. As part of the seminar team, George and Karen can speak from their nearly 40 years of learning and experience.
