Waters to
swim in.

The river is rising

The prophet Ezekiel saw water trickling out from under the threshold of God’s house. An angel measured it as Ezekiel waded in:

“He measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ancles. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in.”

Ezekiel 47:3–5

That is the clearest picture we have of the last twelve years. We never set out to build anything big. We just stepped into the water God was already pouring out. And every year it has been deeper than the year before.

“For who hath despised the day of small things?”

Zechariah 4:10

Ankle-deep: one street corner (2014)

In 2014, Katie and I walked downtown Hamilton with coffee and a single question: “Can we pray with you for anything?” No stage, no budget, no plan beyond obedience. That walk became Love on Hamilton — ordinary believers on the streets every week, praying with people, meeting practical needs and sharing the hope of Jesus.

Ankle-deep water doesn’t look like much. But it’s moving, and it’s coming from the right place.

Knee-deep: Love on The World

What God did in one city, He wanted to do in many. Between 2020 and 2022, Love on The World was established to help believers start and grow outreach groups everywhere — a Great Commission movement making disciples who make disciples.

Today there are active Love on The World groups across 12 cities, prayer going up for 36 nations, and evangelism training that equips everyday believers to share their faith with confidence.

“Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Acts 1:8

Hamilton was our Jerusalem. The cities are our Judaea and Samaria. The nations are the uttermost parts. See the Love on The World story — or start a group in your own city.

Waist-deep: Jesus Festival

Jesus Festival began with a simple conviction: take the gospel outside the four walls and lift up the name of Jesus in the middle of the city — free, for everyone, with churches standing together.

Across the 2024 and 2025 gatherings at Gage Park, more than 10,000 people came, and more than 6,000 hot dogs were given away freely in Jesus’ name.

Then came 2026. We held Jesus Festival Niagara for the very first time — and the city lit Niagara Falls in yellow, the festival’s colour, in recognition. In Hamilton, the festival saw record numbers, and both nights ended in powerful altar calls. Early reports from the weekend:

• 70+ people gave their hearts to Jesus
• 50+ baptisms in the middle of a city park
• 3,000+ hot dogs and drinks shared freely
• Healings, deliverances and countless lives touched by the gospel

“Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”

Acts 2:41

Some of what people said coming up out of the water:

The festival ends. The stages come down. But the mission continues — read the 2026 thank-you and recap, or bring a festival to your city through Jesus Festival Movement.

Equip. Evangelize. Establish.

Behind all of it, we serve in partnership with e3 Canada, whose mission is to equip believers to evangelize and establish multiplying, life-changing churches. Through e3 we also stand with I Am Second — sharing real stories of people who put God first and themselves second.

That partnership is how we stay accountable, how we keep growing as leaders, and how ministry partners can give to the work we do. It’s also why our focus is never just events. It’s people who keep going after the event is over.

Waters to swim in: SIX33 and the culture

The river doesn’t stay inside church buildings. Ezekiel saw it flow out into the desert and into the sea — and “every thing shall live whither the river cometh” (Ezekiel 47:9).

That’s the heart of SIX33, coming really soon. SIX33 is a Christian lifestyle and performance culture brand for people who refuse to waste their potential. It began in 2014 as Seek First Brand and is being reborn in 2026 as a world, not just a label: limited drops, athletes and creators, stories, events and an ambassador movement — with a heart to raise support for Love on The World.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Matthew 6:33

Seek First. Live Different. SIX33 exists to carry that into gyms, streets, sports, screens and fashion — places a sermon may never reach, but a life lived for Jesus can.

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”

Matthew 5:14

Be first in line: join the Inner Circle at SIX33.World.

One river, many streams

Love on The World, Jesus Festival, SIX33, Overflow, and missions like Water Well Project are not separate projects competing for attention. They are streams of one river, flowing together through Thy Kingdom Network — streets, cities, culture and nations, all for one name.

A well brings water to a village. The gospel brings living water to a soul. We want both — everywhere.

“And every thing shall live whither the river cometh.”

Ezekiel 47:9

Plunder hell. Populate heaven.

“Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

John 4:35

Every number above is a person. Seventy names now written in heaven from one weekend. Fifty baptisms in a public park. Groups in a dozen cities praying for people on their streets. That’s what it looks like when the Church stops waiting for the world to walk in and starts walking out.

We want to see that multiplied — more cities, more festivals, more trained believers, more nations. Read the heart behind it in Plunder Hell, Populate Heaven.

What your partnership fuels

• More outreach groups — helping believers start Love on The World groups in new cities.
• Churches equipped — evangelism training that turns spectators into witnesses.
• Festivals in more cities — the gospel proclaimed in parks and public squares.
• Culture reached — SIX33 and gospel-centred media where people actually are.
• The nations — prayer, partnership and missions far beyond Canada.

As the waters cover the sea

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”

Habakkuk 2:14

Twelve years ago it was ankle-deep. Today it’s a river. By God’s grace, tomorrow it will be waters to swim in — and we would love for you to be in it with us.
