Last October, 150 Canadians gathered in Collingwood for a simple purpose: to explore God’s heart for generosity.
What happened surprised many of us.
Conversations moved quickly beyond the surface. New friendships formed. People spoke honestly about faith, money, purpose, and influence. Prayer broke out around tables. Many left with a renewed vision for what God might do through their lives.
One attendee told us, “I thought I understood generosity, but this is opening my eyes to something entirely different.”
Another asked, “Why have we not been doing this every year?”
By the end of the weekend, there was a shared sense that this could not be a one-time event.
So we are doing it again.
On October 16–18, 2026, leaders from across Canada will gather in Niagara-on-the-Lake for the second Canadian Celebration of Generosity—a weekend of inspiring stories, meaningful conversations, and fresh vision for what God can do through lives fully surrendered to Him.
Why We Believe This Matters
Canada needs hopeful stories.
We need reminders that God is still at work. We need examples of lives marked by faith, purpose, and generosity. We need places where people can talk honestly about money, influence, and calling without pressure or expectation.
Many of us pray for renewal in Canada. We ask God to move in our communities, our churches, our businesses, and our families. Yet we also know renewal begins with people whose hearts are fully available to Him.
That is what draws us to this vision.
The more we discover God’s generosity toward us, the more it changes us. It reshapes our priorities, expands our perspective, and invites us into a life that is larger and more joyful than we imagined. It calls us beyond comfort and into the adventure of following Jesus.
And when that kind of generosity begins to spread—from one person to another, from one family to another, from one community to another—it changes places. People notice. Relationships deepen. Communities flourish. The impact reaches far beyond what any one person could accomplish alone.
But none of us can sustain that vision in isolation.
We need encouragement. We need inspiration. We need examples. We need to be surrounded by others who are seeking to follow Jesus faithfully and asking many of the same questions we are.
That is why we wanted to bring the Celebration of Generosity to Canada.
What Makes This Gathering Different?
The Celebration of Generosity brings together leaders from business, technology, health care, investing, real estate, philanthropy, ministry, and many other fields.
Some arrive successful by the world’s standards but searching for deeper purpose.
Others are already investing significant time, energy, and resources into Kingdom work and simply need renewed vision, encouragement, partnership, or perspective for the road ahead.
What unites them is a desire to explore what God can do through a life surrendered to Him.
This is not a fundraising event.
No one will tell you where to give. No one will ask you for money.
Instead, you will hear stories from people who are seeking to live generously with everything God has entrusted to them. You will engage in meaningful conversations with others who are wrestling with similar questions. You will have space to listen, reflect, and consider what God may be inviting you into.
Come exactly as you are.
See where the conversation leads.
Join Us in Niagara-on-the-Lake
We would love to have you with us October 16–18, 2026.
Whether you are looking for encouragement, fresh perspective, deeper relationships, or simply a chance to step away from the noise and hear from God, we believe this weekend could be meaningful for you.
Most of all, we are praying that God will gather people who are eager to follow Him more fully and discover what becomes possible when generosity becomes a response to His grace.
We hope you will join us.
