Our heart is to unite together across multiple ministries and ethnic groups as one body to stand in the gap and intercede for Canada. We are feeling an urgent call to pray for God’s kingdom to come and for His will to be done in our nation as it is in heaven. We sense the call to pray for a shift in the spiritual atmosphere over our nation, and for the Church to rise up as the radiant bride of Christ, in true righteousness and holiness, awakened to the Father’s love and our identity in Christ. We long for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in all of our lives to empower us for faith-filled prayer, evangelism and disciple-making.
Please join us in crying out to God for revival in the Church and a spiritual awakening in Canada. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few … let us trust the Lord of the Harvest to send us and many more into his harvest field!

Online - Easter Presentation and Prayer Forum
2026-03-26 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Toronto)
Register
The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada is hosting an online Presentation and Prayer Forum for Canadian pastoral, denominational, ministry organization, and academic leaders.
Easter is on April 5. Many nominal Christians, seekers, and unchurched people will attend Christmas and Easter church services. These are opportune times for churches to serve their communities and offer compelling glimpses of the gospel. These also provide an opportunity for faith-filled, missional prayer for church unity and gospel witness.
With this in mind, guest presenter Mark Buchanan has been invited to share his reflections on Easter and the church’s missional opportunities.
After Mark’s presentation, we’ll pray in large and small group settings, that people who may not normally attend church will do so; that pastors and parishioners will be prepared to share the gospel; and that churches will demonstrate Christian unity where joint Easter services are being held.

Mark Buchanan is an associate professor of pastoral theology at Ambrose University, a graduate of Regent College, a pastor for over two decades, and the author of 13 books (fiction and non-fiction), including the forthcoming What is Left of the Night: A World War II Novel (Kregel). He and his wife Cheryl also lead New Story Community, a ministry that promotes the flourishing of Indigenous women.

The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada invites all staff and leaders of EFC affiliate churches, denominations, ministry organizations, and post-secondary institutions to join us for a free online Presentation and Prayer Forum, May 14, 2026 (8:00 a.m. Pacific / 9:00 a.m. Mountain / 10:00 a.m. Central / 11:00 a.m. Eastern / 12:00 p.m. Atlantic / 12:30 p.m. NL).

In 2025, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada adopted a new strategic plan. One of our top priorities is to ask God to use the EFC and its affiliates to encourage the calling and sending of God’s people with the gospel of the Kingdom into the rich harvest field of Canada and the world. Our goal is to foster greater visible unity in gospel witness. One way to achieve this is “to practise and promote prayer among EFC staff and affiliates for gospel mission and workers” (Matt. 9:38).

To this end, the EFC’s prayer ambassador, Roger Helland, will share principles and practices of evangelistic prayer for the harvest, drawing from Scripture, history, and personal testimony. This will be followed by large- and small- group evangelistic prayer.

Roger Helland serves as the prayer ambassador of The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and as a lead team member of Ignite Prayer Canada. As a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M.) and Trinity Western University (DMin.), he has served as a pastor, district minister, and adjunct professor at several theological schools and is the author of seven books, including Pursuing God’s Presence. Roger is devoted to prayer, spiritual leadership, and church renewal.
