Mike Zenker began pastoral ministry in 1990. Currently Mike is the Sr. Pastor of Hope Fellowship Community Church in Waterloo, ON. As well, he is the National Director for Grace Walk Ministries in Canada. Having been part of a number of different church denominations, Mike refers to himself as 'multi-tribal'. This has given Mike tremendous exposure to multi-faceted expressions of how believers respond to Jesus Christ. In 2000, Mike was deeply impacted by the book "Grace Walk" by Steve McVey. It was while reading this book that God revealed to Mike who he was in Christ and who Christ was in him. Realizing that he had not heard this truth 'packaged' like this before, he contacted Grace Walk Ministries and began the exciting journey of connecting with this ministry. In 2006, Grace Walk Canada was launched as a ministry to 'Share the Love and Life of Christ' across Canada. Now Mike spends his time teaching the foundations of who we are in Christ as well as the profound truth of who Christ is in us. The bride of Christ (the church) needs to have a deeper and clearer understanding of who God is and that He is lavishing His love on the world. When we see each other and the world as God sees, then true love (agape) will come flowing out of us towards others. |

Before becoming a Christian, Mr. Johnson was a fanatical atheist. He had a mysterious encounter that he could not explain away and, at first, found much of Christianity very confusing. With the help of close friends, he found the answers he was looking for in Trinitarian theology which led him to the ancient church fathers. He now believe s we should endeavour to remain faithful to the very same gospel as was taught by the apostles and not follow after novelties. He says, "In doing so, we find Jesus Christ to be far bigger and far more powerful in His love than we could ever imagine. I hope I can share insights that will be valuable to your journey and the overall mission of taking this good news to the world."

Based in London England, Paul Anderson-Walsh is a teacher, author, a broadcaster, inspirational speaker, and church leader. He is the founder and director of The Grace Project.
The strap line of the Grace Project – “Discover who you really are” – articulates the heart and purpose of the initiative. Paul believes that many, if not most, Christians not only have yet to discover this truth but worse, in the absence of this awareness, they (we) are left to live out of our “own” resources with the inevitable consequences of burnout and disillusionment.
Paul's books: The Bonsai Conspiracy; Safe and Sound and Grace for Grown Ups all speak to this, his main emphasis, what he calls “the gospel to the saved” as expressed by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians – “It is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me and the life that I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God.” [Gal 2:20].
Paul is a well-respected commentator who is called upon by the BBC television and he is a regular contributor on Radio. One Producer kindly said of Paul, "There are not many intellectuals who're able to unpack issues in a lay manner, that give clarity, wisdom with deep emotional understanding. He's popular amongst listeners and viewers alike."
Far from being a career pastor, Paul is a director of the City-based firm Simply Leaning & Development and is a partner in the Organisational Development and Inclusion practice AWSS LLP.
Whether commercially or pastorally, Paul’s work centres on enabling people to understand the primacy of identity and inclusion. Paul’s clients range from Investment banks to Government Departments.
Paul has been a trusted advisor to numerous business leaders, professional sports people, professional entertainers, singers, actors and musicians, helping them to remove their interior barriers to their own success.
The common thread through Paul's work is his desire to help people realise their full potential. Regardless of the context Paul's unique gift to communicate peoples' self-worth and expand their horizons is truly extraordinary.
