Luzines to Lead Calgary Church

Sunday, 24 August 2008 19:20
After much prayer and consideration, Mike & Helen Luzine (West Region Evangelist, Toronto Church of Christ), have eagerly accepted God�s call to move across Canada and begin serving the church in Calgary.

An Announcement of Sacrifice, Service & Love:

Presently the Rocky Mountain Church of Christ (Calgary International Christian Church) is without full time ministry staff. Disciples within the congregation of that city, put out a request to sister congregations to inquire if there would be any minister desiring to continue to work on the excellent foundation already laid in Alberta.The Luzine�s leadership has been instrumental in guiding and nurturing stability in the Toronto Church for many years. As a result of their efforts on the leadership team, we have developed into a healthy family of believers that continues to support world missions (Eurasia), has been experiencing baptisms and restorations, and is enjoying a resurgence of growth and commitment in all ministries.

We commend Mike and Helen Luzine, not only to the disciples in Calgary, Alberta, but to the family of believers worldwide. We are confident that God will continue His good work with and through His servants Mike and Helen. We are confident that they will continue to serve the congregation with humility and a heart to further unity in Christ in our country. Finally, we are certain that they will continue to live as examples of Jesus, willing to be taught as they teach others.
 
As the staff of the Toronto Church gathered for a final farewell meeting we all recognized the reality of the moment. Our hearts ached because of the conclusion of a chapter in the Toronto Church story, yet our hearts are bursting with joy as we see God directing the Luzines and the Church in Calgary to a new and exciting future. Our meeting ended in sincere prayer as the congregational elders laid their hands on Mike and Helen and prayed for God�s protection, the Spirit�s guidance and blessings upon them.
 
As we all journey forward, please pray for the Luzines, the Church in Calgary and the Church in Toronto. May we all be dedicated to the sacrifice, service and love of Christ.
 
In Christ,
The elders and evangelists;
Toronto Church of Christ
