Go Into All The World
Pastor Paul Khosla
One of the many great qualities of Faith Tabernacle Church is that this is a missional
community, one that not only reaches out but goes out and is apart of the
community.
In doing so we fulfill Jesus Christ’s commands from Mark 16:15:
Mark 16:15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News
to everyone. 1
There is something about ‘all the world’ that is important for us to pick up on.
Certainly Christ was speaking of reaching every part of our world in the geographic
sense. That is happening more and more in our time.
However, I believe there is a message here for us on a personal level that our
‘World’ is also the place where we do life on a daily basis. For example, our
community, our workplace and our family would be parts of the immediate world you
and I live in, reaching different parts of our community.
Consider Alan Hirsch’s words, writing in Christianity Today.
“A missional theology is not content with mission being a church-based work.
Rather, it applies to the whole life of every believer. Every disciple is to be an agent
of the kingdom of God, and every disciple is to carry the mission of God into every
sphere of life. We are all missionaries sent into a non-Christian culture.”
The ideas of every ‘sphere of life’, and ‘non-Christian culture’ are not necessarily
comfortable ideas for us. This is because they challenge you and me to resist the
tendency to compartmentalize our Christianity based on what sphere of life we
happen to be engaged in.
However Christ’s words are clear: ‘GO into ALL the world...’
Responding to this command requires a multifaceted, dynamic approach to mission.
What is so exciting to me, and what we all should be thankful for is that is what our
local church is endeavoring to do. There are many ministries from our church that

ed.). Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.

4. 4
are out in the community on a regular basis and there are many people from a wide
variety of community groups that are within the walls of Faith regularly. It’s
wonderful to witness that coming and going.
As we attempt to deepen our existing community connections, and further our
presence and service in part of ‘our world’ that is Halifax, I’m thrilled to draw your
attention to a couple of new endeavors that are continuing in our missional
trajectory.
First we have a note from our GROC Coordinator, Joyceleen Osbourne regarding a
new GROC initiative:
G-ROC will be launching an indoor site here at FTC
from Oct. 12, 2013 - Dec. 7, 2013.
This EXCITING opportunity will make it possible for us to connect with kids from
other communities in our area where we are currently unable to bring our Sidewalk
Model. Taking this step also means we will be able to continue sharing Christ’s love
with these kids through the colder months of the fall.

5. 5
Along with the excitement surrounding the expansion of GROC’s reach also comes
a rise in the level of work that has to be done and the cost to make it happen. Our
main cost increase has to do with transportation.
One of our G-ROC kids came by bus to VBS this summer and said that it made him
feel like he was famous being picked up every day. Isn`t that our goal? To let the
kids know that they are famous but not because of the bus but because they are a
child of the King.
You can help us reach more kids with the Gospel by:
1. Contributing financially in one of the following ways: designate G-ROC
indoor site on your offering envelope, visit us online at groc.ca and select
donate now button, or by stopping by the main office.
2. Contributing your time as a volunteer: We need volunteers to make all of
this happen so if you would like to be a bus monitor, hall monitor, prepare
hot chocolate and treats, or teach please contact us.
Finally I would like to invite each of you to please join with us in prayer as we step
out in obedience to follow God`s direction.
Serving Together, Joyceleen.
Second, ELEVATE is moving forward with some initiatives on Dalhousie’s Campus.
Part of that involves supporting existing ministries such as Shiloh University Church
on Friday nights but all also launching some campus initiatives of our own.
In the coming weeks ELEVATE will be launching a Campus ALPHA gathering at
Dalhousie University. ALPHA Canada suggests that a Campus gathering offers
students ‘A DIFFERENT KIND OF EDUCATION’, giving them the space they need
to contemplate, study and
reflect on ‘life’s big
questions’. The answers
to those questions, in
turn, will determine the
beliefs that map out the
course of a particular
student’s life. What an
amazing opportunity for us to be engaged with our students on that level.

6. 6
The Elevate Lead Team has prayerfully
considered how we can move beyond the
walls of our church into college part of ‘our
World’ and Campus ALPHA will be a
strategic first step of that plan. In addition,
we are working towards offering
transportation for Students to and from Faith on
Sunday Mornings. We are in need of drivers and
vehicles for this initiative so please email
elevate@faithhalifax.org if you are interested in driving
Students to and from Faith on Sunday mornings.
Finally Elevate plans on launching a Halifax
Red Frogs chapter to serve both Dalhousie
and St. Mary’s Universities in various ways.
Please join us in prayer for God to provide the
right individuals to lead that initiative.
As a church family, let’s continue to celebrate
our missional focus by involving ourselves in
some way in these initiatives.

Just a reminder to all those 55+ that on October
9th at 11:30am our Golden Treasures will gather
for our Thanksgiving Luncheon. There will also be
a book table with all the proceeds going for our
kitchen renovations project.
Thank You Seniors
October 1st is National Seniors Day in Canada, and so I would like to take this
opportunity to thank our Seniors here at Faith Tabernacle Church who have
given so much time, commitment, physical energy, love for God, love for His
Church, love for our community, and so much more over the years to help make
our church what it is today. Only eternity will truly reveal all that our seniors have
deposited into our lives and continue to do so. When so many sit back and do
little, our seniors are actively involved in the life of Faith Tabernacle Church and
to you we say “thank you”.
Almost without exception it is the Seniors of Faith Tabernacle who make Golden
Treasures happen each month for the many seniors who come from the various
Senior’s residences throughout the city as well as some who come from private
homes. These are not sitting back expecting to be served, they serve. To all of
you who are part of that ministry, thank you!
We are excited to look forward to our Youth (Ignite) coming in November to
serve, sing, testify, and bless our hearts as they have in past years. As well, we
look forward to our Young Adults (Elevate) coming in a few months to share with
us from their hearts. We are blessed to know that the hearts of our youth and
young adults are toward the seniors and as such want to bless them.
On October 9th we will be blessed by the ministry of Pastor John. You will not
want to miss this time of food, fun, fellowship, and ministry of the Word of God.
Pastor Sheila

Praying Together
By Pastor Sheila
Many years ago Alfred Tennyson made this statement that has been often quoted
regarding prayer: “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams
of.” Many books have been written over the years regarding prayer and its
tremendous value. What a privilege is ours to be able to go to the very throne room
of God and open our hearts up to Him and know that He is there to hear and
respond to the cry of our hearts. Here at Faith Tabernacle Church there are a
number of opportunities for us to gather corporately and seek the face of God, to
pray together:
1. Sunday Morning Pre-Service Prayer Time 9:30 – 10:30 am
2. Monday Evening 7:00 – 9:00 pm
3. Monthly Missions Prayer 6:00 – 6:45 pm 3rd Wednesday of each month
4. Prayer Chain
All are invited to be part of these corporate prayer times. If you are hosting a prayer
meeting at your home and would like to have it mentioned, please contact John
Pelton at 902-444-1948 or 902-830-8860 or by e-mail john_pelton@hotmail.com

Faith Tabernacle Church – Bringing
a message of hope to the world
Short Term Mission to Malawi -
October 24th to November 07th 2013
In Malawi, a southeast African county,
poverty means that most children will never
attend school beyond their primary years, let
alone dream of being able to attend university or college in their lifetime.
Only 13% of high school age children living in Malawi actually attend high school, partly
due to poverty and a lack of resources that make paying for school fees impossible. In
many countries around the world, high school education is a basic service providing
essential knowledge, skills, and values that form the foundation for lifelong learning.
Simply put, basic education gives people greater economic opportunities and
empowers them to lead healthier and more productive lives.
Your generous financial gift* will provide the opportunity for a child in Malawi to be
rescued from poverty to complete their high school education, and restore hope.
Thank you for giving and… Changing Lives Forever. *Tax receipt will be issued

As we engage our Vision of bringing good news to the people of Halifax through
Community Action, City Mission and Church Ministry, a strategic part of our
Christian service is demonstrated through good neighbourliness, generousity, and
HOSPITALITY.
The Bible encourages an ongoing engagement in the ministry of Hospitality
(Romans 12:13, Titus 1:8 and Hebrews 13:2) and in order to be fully engaged we
must first be PREPARED. Recently we have taken a further step in this ongoing
process of preparing ourselves to better serve our community in the strategic area of
Hospitality by updating and reappointing our Kitchen Facilities. Our future plans
include Fire Suppression, Proper Ventilation, a new Industrial Stove and New
Cabinetry.
This investment is one in our capacity to serve the purposes of God more
effectively. Our kitchen already serves thousands of hot meals every year. As we
continue to move ahead with the renovation of our church kitchen, we are not just
smartening up our facility. We are getting ready to better serve our church and
community.
We have already placed a new 30" stove, and now have purchased the
new 60" industrial stove. Installing this industrial stove will involve electrical work
and appropriate ventilation. Soon to come is a commercial dishwasher, two
refrigerators, cabinets, countertops, improved lighting, and flooring. Thank you for
sharing your part in helping bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the heart of our city.
