Health & Healing ACROSS CANADA

“The LORD is so good! I am pain free for the first time since I was a child.”

Those were the words of a young mother at One Week in Paradise, spoken with tears of joy early one morning at worship. She had lived with chronic pain since around the age of seven. After years of searching for relief, she came weary and discouraged. But through simple, Christ-centered care—nutrition, hydrotherapy, counselling, and prayer—something changed. Not only did the pain leave, but it did not return.

That is the kind of work God is doing.

Across Canada and beyond, we are seeing a growing hunger for a message that brings not only truth, but healing— physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through It Is Written Canada, God is opening doors to meet people at the deepest point of their need.

In the digital space, that hunger is becoming increasingly visible. Hundreds of thousands are engaging with Bible-based content each month. Short “Daily Living” messages—simple reflections on practical Christian living—are now reaching thousands at a time. What began as a modest outreach has grown into a powerful channel for sharing hope in everyday life.

But the real story is not found in numbers.

It is found in lives being transformed.

At another One Week in Paradise program, a guest who had struggled with sleep for years—rarely getting more three or four hours a night—came to worship one morning with a smile. “I slept more than eight hours last night,” she said. “I feel fantastic! Praise God!” For the remainder of the program, restful sleep became her new normal.

In our “Prescription for Love” marriage seminars, the transformation is just as powerful. After one weekend, a couple approached us with tears in their eyes and said, “You saved our marriage.” What once seemed broken beyond repair had been softened through biblical principles, honest communication, and God’s restoring grace. Stories like this are becoming increasingly common as we expand these seminars across the country.

We are also seeing a clear need among young people and families navigating today’s digital world. Through our “Tackling the Temptations of Technology” seminars, we are helping individuals step away from distraction and rediscover meaningful, Christ-centered relationships. In a culture filled with noise, many are longing for something real—and God is meeting them there.

Looking ahead, evangelistic meetings focused on Bible prophecy will continue to share a message of hope, clarity, and restoration. These are not simply presentations of information, but invitations—calls to experience a living relationship with Jesus and to become part of a caring community of faith.

When we pause to reflect, one truth stands out clearly: God is at work.

He is restoring health, renewing minds, and healing relationships. He is reaching people through screens and in sanctuaries, in retreat settings and seminar rooms, in quiet moments and life-changing encounters.

Thank you for your prayers and support of It Is Written Canada. Together, we are witnessing something beautiful—lives being touched, families being restored, and hearts being drawn back to Jesus.

If your church is sensing a desire to reach your community in a deeper, more intentional way, we would be honored to partner with you. Our 2026 calendar is now fully booked, and 2027 is already filling quickly—but we would welcome the opportunity to explore how we can serve alongside you in ministry.
