Break Forth Canada
Edmonton, AB Phone: 780-417-5082 Email: info@breakforthministries.com Website: www.breakforthministries.comYou would think that a lineup which includes John & Stasi Eldredge, Michael W. Smith, Frank Peretti, Erwin McManus, MercyMe, Paul Baloche, William Paul Young (writer of The Shack), Brian Doerksen, Shane Claiborne, NewWorldSon, Dr. Leonard Sweet, Brenton Brown, Dr. Neil Anderson, and Matt Maher would be enough. You would think that 160 classes in 27 tracks from leadership to creative arts to spiritual renewal would be plenty. But then, Break Forth Canada adds an interactive ministry fair, a nightly Christian festival filling downtown Edmonton with jazz, rock, folk, and blues, and Bananas Comedy Hour. It’s no wonder it sells out in November each year. Break Forth Canada 2009 will be held January 30 – February 1 in Edmonton. People travel worldwide to join 15,000 in this weekend of worship, renewal and equipping. Break Forth Canada is sponsored by Break Forth Ministries, an evangelical ministry that reaches world-wide with training conferences, concerts, workshops and resources, including the second Break Forth Finland this September. The vast influence of Break Forth Ministries was acknowledged when Alberta Venture Magazine recently named founder Dr. Arlen Salte as one of Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People.
