Reach

Two-time GRAMMY nominee, Blessing Offor hopes his newest single conveys a positive message.

While there are many ways to celebrate Thanksgiving, many people will have enjoyed sitting down to a nice juicy turkey.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two biggest seasons for turkey consumption,  but over the last few years, the industry has launched a campaign to broaden that reach.

Chair of the Turkey Farmers of Canada  Darren Ference says more and more people are now eating whole turkeys or turkey parts throughout the year.

Several contestants of the latest season of 'The Voice' came together recently beside their hotel pool to worship Jesus. 

The impromptu church service was captured on video and posted on contestant, Craig Riepe's social media.

Psalm 62:1

Truly my soul finds rest in God;
    my salvation comes from him.

1 Corinthians 15-16

I heard a statistic the other day that blew my mind. Anna Sklar, the author of a book called Runaway Wives, was a guest on a local talk show. In the course of the discussion, she cited that 10 years ago, for every wife or mother who walked away from her home and responsibilities, 600 husbands and fathers walked out. Today for each man who walks away, two women do.

Pause and let that sink in.

Ag Growth International has teamed up with the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) to raise funds for a cure for breast cancer.

Since its peak in 1986, the breast cancer death rate has been nearly cut in half. Today, the 5-year survival rate continues to improve. But there is still work to do! 

Ag Growth International’s (AGI) Canadian farm team has released a pink limited-edition UCX³ U-trough belt conveyor to raise funds to support breast cancer awareness.

Local Rotarians from Grande Prairie are set to embark on the 2024 Highway to Mexico Project, driving eight donated emergency vehicles to Mazatlán, Mexico.

The convoy, consisting of six school buses, a fire truck, and an ambulance, will depart at 6 a.m. on Friday, October 11th, from the Subway at Four Mile Corner.

Over the last few years, a real emphasis has been put on the importance of making your mental health a priority and removing the stigma around reaching out for help.

Farming is known to be one of the most dangerous occupations, it involves a lot of stress and factors unique to agriculture like the weather and markets both of which can have a major impact and are totally out of farmers' control.

Learning ways to recognize and release stress is key especially when trying to stay focused when working with large farm equipment or unpredictable livestock.

Dozens of inmates, many serving life sentences, lined up to be baptized at a recent event hosted by God Behind Bars at Angola State Prison in Louisiana. 

Over 1,000 inmates attended the event, making it one of the largest prison events in the ministry's history.

"We invited the ENTIRE STATE to join so that all the incarcerated can hear about the FREEDOM of Jesus," said God Behind Bars in a post on Instagram. " 9 prisons were bused in — including a female prison."

Proverbs 19:20-21

Listen to advice and accept discipline,
    and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
