Ken Shigematsu
Becoming who you were before the world told you who you had to be.
You're not alone when it comes to experiencing shame or fear of not being enough. Shame isn't felt only by those who have gone through failure or trauma or been told they'll never amount to anything. Many people—even those who are considered successful—struggle with a sense that they are deficient or inadequate.
Drawing on a rich variety of personal experience, Scripture, spiritual formation classics, psychology, and relational neuroscience; award-winning author and pastor Ken Shigematsu shows how a deep, experiential encounter with the love of God can heal us of our shame, make us whole again, and inspire us to fulfill our purpose by making a faithful contribution to the world.
Now I Become Myself will help you:
• Break free of an unhealthy self-image and from jealousy of others' achievements.
• Discover how beauty and spiritual joy can help you overcome the unhealthy shame you're clinging to.
• Create space in your life to draw close to Jesus and deepen your sense of God's boundless love for you.
Written with pastoral compassion and understanding, Shigematsu's stories and teachings will uplift you and help you break free from the feeling of not being enough so that you can find rest in the security of God's grace.
Each chapter concludes with a prayer exercise intended to nurture your relationship with the God who formed you in love and created you in beauty. http://tenth.ca

CityReach Care Society
Volunteers sort and pack bags of food – fresh produce, school snacks, eggs, and milk – to hand out at CityReach Care Society’s Food for Families program in Vancouver B.C. The ministry is in the business of hope – addressing food insecurity through food hampers and community meals, finding ways to help people in their community prosper by offering support, praying for and providing needs to local schools, and even housing bee hives to save the honeybees.
It is all part of CityReach Care Society and their founding church, Broadway Church’s vision to help people experience and express the purest form of love imaginable and to see a nation transformed for Jesus.

Terrance Richmond
Pastor Terrance Richmond grew up in the church and attributes his faith to the guidance of a praying grandmother. Over the course of his life, athletics was a grounding force in his life leading him to play professional baseball for the California Angels and later on Division 1 Basketball at San Jose State University but it was in June 2007 that he received a revelation that would change his life and so many others forever. Following a radical encounter with the Lord, he chose to set aside a life of petty crime, addiction and complacency and chose to say yes to his call to the ministry. As a professional “Professional Communicator”, his greatest passion is to activate people and point them to the promises, freedom and power available in and through the Gospel.
Some of his professional experiences like mentoring young people, guidance counselling for marriage and families, playing professional sports and producing inspirational music, lend themselves well to his role as a Pastor. Along with being a student athlete at NCAA’s Division 1, San Jose State University and Bachelors Degree in Theology and Marriage and Family Counselling, Terrance Richmond is a dynamic leader, a captivating speaker and conveys the authority of a father, wisdom of a scholar and the faith of a child. This family not only loves us but the love they have for each other is compelling.

Michelle Reitsma
Michelle was placed in the foster care system at 6 months old and eventually adopted at 3 into a Christian home. At 13, she found out that her birth mother was a heroin addict and prostitute. As a teen she rebelled and ended up getting trafficked in the downtown Vancouver. She got out of that situation at 18, when the man she was with was arrested. Pregnant at the time, she gave birth to her son, now 33. While at a group home, her adoptive mom helped with caring for the child. Later, after marrying Richard Reitsma at 19, while in Quebec they decided to foster, and that’s when they met Maddy —eventually adopting her and moving to BC. Michelle shares some of the heartbreak their family walked through which eventually led to a beautiful story of healing and transformation.
