This past week we attended the Israel Allies Caucus where Israeli Ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed provided Israel updates. We learned that antisemitism is on the rise. Up by 235% globally but by an astonishing 800% right here in Canada. Jewish people continue to be harassed and their properties vandalized. As the church in Canada, we must stand with the...

In a poignant reflection from the Toronto Holocaust Museum, Chris Byberg highlights the dangers of devaluing life, drawing parallels to historical events and the rise of antisemitism. He emphasizes the church's critical role in combating hate by preaching the gospel.

Recently, a school of evangelism was held in Gatineau and they had astounding results. 87 people made documented decisions for Christ as a result of the students taking their training to the streets and putting it into action. 87!!!

Election Prayer Strategy 2025 https://www.nhop.ca/2025/04/22/gods-not-worried-so-why-are-we/ As election day approaches and political tensions rise, we can rest knowing God is not anxious—His Kingdom does not depend on any government. Scripture reminds us that He directs the hearts of rulers to fulfill His purposes. While government has a role, it cannot fulfill the mission of the church: to bring healing, freedom, and...

Our video this week explores “What if?”. What if, cities, towns, and neighbourhoods across Canada had churches committed to praying and interceding for our nation, our leaders, and the issues that unite and divide us? What if, we were able to do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Do you think we would...

As a follow-up to last week’s video about building a war chest in prayer, our video this week reminds us that our war chest needs to be full to the tipping point. Full of adoration, worship, and supplication. So full, that it is overflowing into the dry and barren places of our lives, as well as our neighbourhoods and even...

Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! In this week’s video, we are reminded that NOW is the time to prayerfully prepare for the next election cycle. NOW is the time to build our war chest in prayer.

"If we find ourselves grumbling about the government, it hinders the effectiveness of our prayers for them. Drawing a parallel, just as Moses had to say to God “how can we go if You don’t go with us?”, our posture at NHOP is similar. "How can we enter Parliament Hill if You are not with us?..."

In the midst of what we are seeing in the world – wars, rising of antisemitism, hate, division, depression among our young people, increased financial stresses, it’s easy to dwell in the negative. But we serve a God who is sovereign. He doesn’t sweat the adverse and gloomy events we may see around us. Our God is able to do...

Very early in our married life, Chris and I were in full-time volunteer ministry. What I mean by that is we were working in ministry for no pay. Essentially, we were living by faith. Some would say we were being irresponsible while others admired our faith. We were simply moving in obedience. We felt that obedience was the only responsible...

Let us take today to remember those who have given their time, energy, and even lives in support of our freedom and peace in this country, and for those who continue to do so today. Let us always remember them even beyond Remembrance Day.

There is a new directive to Canadian Armed Forces chaplains regarding prayer. The term, “public prayer at military ceremonies.”, will be replaced by “spiritual reflection in public settings”. The Forces’ chaplain general, Brig.-Gen. Guy Bélisle says prayer “does not play a role” in the lives of some CAF members and therefore chaplains “must ensure that all members feel respected and...

Anti-Semitism appears to be on the rise in Canada. Calling for the boycott of establishments simply because they are owned by Jews is alarming to say the least. However, this incident in Toronto was not an isolated one. From a Star of David stamped with an image of blood pouring on it to Jewish schools being vandalized and Mezuzahs ripped...

We stand with Israel and Jewish people around the world. The pain being inflicted is devastating.

In our video and article this week, we are reminded that God has called us to be watchmen.
