As CEO of ‘Christians Against Poverty Canada’ Mark Griffin shares some great insights from a life of ministry in various parts of Canada and the world. We talk about the particular challenges of urban poverty and hopeful ways that we can be part of seeing change come to our communities.

Why Would Anyone Go To Church?

I first heard of Kevin Makins through my friend Rielly McLaren. He told me about his college friend that was planting a cool church in Hamilton. I next heard of Kevin as a guest on New Leaf Network podcast where he talked about his ‘Holy Shift’ tour, as he and some of his friends cycled to bars to do stand-up comedy, have conversations about Jesus and have one of his friends perform music on a bicycle. I was not surprised when we first met at Eucharist Church and he showed up on a one-wheel motorized skateboard.
