Joining Jesus in Victoria

Prayerfully consider partnering with the Donalds who are being sent to Victoria as church planters + equippers! 

This missionary church planting endeavour involves fundraising and steps of faith.  It's starting from scratch just like overseas missionaries would do.  Victoria is one of the least religious cities in Canada and needs Jesus. We want to make Jesus known in Victoria and beyond.  Please pray.

CHURCH PARTNERSHIPS
Does your church have a church plant that you partner with?  Churches can partner by:
  • Including us as a missions/church planting partner with monthly support.  And/or
  • Inviting us to speak and encouraging individuals to consider joining as prayer/ financial partners.
We are praying for 75 financial partners. Please click here to join the story and partner financially in this missionary church planting work. Monthly partners are particularly helpful.

One-time gifts to the "Pastoral transition fund" will help, under the oversight of CityLights, support relocation and sabbatical expenses amidst this significant transition. We desire for the family to  start the next season strong.  

SUPPORT FOR THIS PIONEERING EFFORT
"Having known both Brett & Natalie Donald and Chris Synaesal, their ministries and leadership for more than a decade, I was beyond thrilled to hear that they were feeling called by Jesus to join forces in a new church planting endeavour. Both Brett and Chris are among the strongest church planting leaders in Canada, particularly in the areas of genuine discipleship and missional living in and through community. Both Brett and Chris are inspiring followers of Jesus and are transformational leaders with real results in effective multiplication. I look forward to supporting them personally and to leading our church meet them, support them, and enter into mutually beneficial partnership."
- Mike Bidell, Lead Pastor, Comox Pentecostal Church

“I thank God that Brett is saying yes again to a pioneer a new church community in Canada. We need more church planters who want to make and mobilize displaces in cities across Canada.  I am struck by his passion to reach people who might have no connection at all to christians or a local church. It’s important in our time to invest in pioneering works like this.  That is why our church community is supporting this initiative through our church planting funds.”
- Jason Ballard, Lead Pastor, The Way Church Vancouver.  Director, The Pastorate.


“Brett Donald is the only student I taught at Summit Pacific College whom I invited back to teach my Urban Mission and Church Planting class every year. With integrity and passion he and Natalie have grown as missional leaders, making disciples that make disciples, and effectively training others to do the same. I recommend them to you.”
Fred Fulford, former lead pastor at Portico, Mississauga and Evangel Church, Kelowna.
Emeritus Pastoral Theology Professor at Summit Pacific College, Abbotsford, BC.
