This message of Christ's resurrection was proclaimed by the apostles and the church worldwide today. Proclaiming this good news is at the heart of our faith and Resonate's mission work around the world. These resources remind us of the declaration that we are all called to make on Easter and every other day of our lives.

April 27th A.M. – New Ground (Diaconal Ministries Canada – DMC) - NewGround has been impacting communities for more than 35 years. God is always at work and calls churches to follow Him into their communities to share Christ’s transformational love with each and every person. Cities and neighbourhoods should be impacted and blessed through the social action and thoughtful cultural engagement of local Christians. The NewGround program of DMC partners with deacons and churches to break new missional ground, nurturing Spirit-led ideas into healthy ministries that bear everlasting fruit; assisting churches in areas like leadership development, fundraising, strategic planning and more. When you give, it’s about the people in your community who will be reached through your gift.
