It is the time of the year when we celebrate our “good things” and choose to learn from our mistakes. An equally useful exercise for Passion374!
Health restrictions were quietly lifted in 2022, which allowed us to resume many of our in-person activities. In all, we did 25 events this year, 49 Bible studies, and a training session to help Christian singles enter their calling. It’s a little less than last year, but it’s still a great diversity of activities.
We had the great pleasure this year to expand our team of volunteers with representatives to organize activities in the Capitale nationale (Chantal) and in the Centre-du-Québec (Daniel). These regions are therefore added to those of Greater Montreal (Sonia and Carole) and Yaoundé, Cameroon (Crescence). We also had the first meeting with two representatives from the Gatineau-Ottawa region, for a possible start of service in 2023. A married couple has also agreed to join our team. Coaches Dany and Diana will be there to encourage singles at various events and give good advice.
Unfortunately, we have lost the services of our graphic designer and video editor, Charlène. We hope that God will send another precious pearl to help us in this area. Our YouTube channel has grown a lot this year and now has more than 340 videos, in French and English! All our videos are now also available in Podcast format on several platforms. We continued to feed our blog, with the help of a few collaborators, to reach nearly 450 articles.
Here are the five most popular English-language articles of 2022.
Sex after divorce We had big dreams, and then the unimaginable happened: a divorce. After the dust has settled, the issue of sexuality resurfaces. If we are no longer virgins, do the principles of purity still apply?
3 signs that confirm that you are filled with the Holy Spirit “Is that what a Christian is?” Some unbelievers sometimes doubt when looking at the lives of those who claim to be born again. To truly be Christ-like, we have no other options: we must be filled with the Holy Spirit.
No retirement for the servants of God We spend our adult lives working hard to pay our expenses and save for our retirement. We know that one day we will stop working. Now, in the Lord, we are never too old to serve.
No plan B with God We sing beautiful songs to our God, telling Him that we surrender ourselves to Him, that He is our King. But on a daily basis, is He really our God or just one source among many others?
The need for a mentor We live in a world of information. We swim in an abundance of knowledge. So much so that we no longer see the need for a mentor. Yet the Bible strongly encourages this practice.
