You 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.
