Though being an international ministry,

I care especially for the region of Vancouver,

where the ministry materialized

at the beginning of the year 2019.

Churches

When you search for a church, then first of all pray to THEOS to lead you.

Secondly,
search locally (ideally same neighbourhood) in order to not only attend on a Sabbath, but to be an integral part in local activities involving your church, both for fellowship and outreach.

Avoid churches that have tendencies towards Catholicism, Calvinism (usually concealed by churches involved in it - this might take time to discern or the courage to actively ask if they are 'reformed'), Easy Believism (do they equate a sinner's prayer with Salvation), Ecumenism, Egalitarianism (no female elders / shepherds / overseers; but make sure that women are represented as deacons), Hyper-Grace (grace over sanctification and holiness), Mysticism & Contemplative Prayer, Pentecostalism (e.g. equating Past Salvation with tongues), Prosperity G‑spel, Once-Saved-Always-Saved et al. .

Make also sure that there are a plurality of elders / shepherds (=modern pastor) / overseers (all the same office). A church with a single-pastorate is anti-biblical and causes all sorts of problems.

A very effective way to evaluate a church is to look at their
library or book recommendations - if available. Another way to easily discern is to do a quick background search of any authors and teachers mentioned in sermons (with a healthy portion of grace) or on their social media feed. 

Verify the
financial ties of a church by visiting the Charity Finder (link CA, US).
Strictly avoid churches that use the
Passion Translation or the Message Bible; even a sporadic use is a red flag. Be very cautious with a church that uses the New Living Translation or similar.

Once discerned, then enjoy to serve IESOUS CHRISTOS and open yourself to a fruitful fellowship.

Evangelism

"I have told the glad new of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O KYRIOS. I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation." Psa 40:9-10

1. Print borderless, page 1 and 2 make a double-sided flyer on regular paper (~24-28 lbs. thickness; 20 lbs is too thin and 28 lbs is the limit for folding). 2. Cut along the center line. 3. Fold it twice while using the small gray reference line as orientation for the first fold. 4. Form a team of two / teams of two (rather not more) and chose a strategic place. 5. Pray beforehand for guidance. 6. Put your cellphone in your pocket and play worship music at a volume audible only to you. 7. When you are speaking, avoid cold water and prefer warm water - your throat will thank you.
