James serves alongside Legacy Life Centre Burks Falls, the 11/72 Network Ontario, and Muskoka Christian School while working as a Mortgage Broker.

Simon Flint
I found Jesus at 24 when I was N.Z travelling.
I worked as an evangelist at an Anglican Church in Bath city centre for 13 years and became an Anglican priest in 2013. I am currently leading Muskoka Community Church in Port Sydney. I enjoy Ice fishing and hunting, I love meat pies and Jesus.
My desire is to be led by the Spirit and make disciples.

Peter Jackson
Peter and Heather Jackson were the founding directors of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship School of Ministry (SOM) in 1995, as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was beginning to spread worldwide. Their vision for the SOM came from many years of experience teaching and directing ministry schools with Daystar Ministries and teaching at Youth With Mission (YWAM).
For more than twenty five years now, they have been privileged to impart the revelation of the Father’s love in churches, conferences, and equipping schools all over the world. Although attending a conference may introduce someone to the concepts of the Father’s love, Peter and Heather have found that it is in a retreat-like setting, where people can get away from the business of life, that the most radical transformations take place in their lives.

Frank and Kimberly Laaper
Frank and Kimberly have been married for almost 34 years and have had various careers, including pastoring, teaching, and paramedicine. Recently, God has been unfolding new areas, including apostolic and counseling. They ultimately love how the Lord is maturing and growing their relationship with Him, each other, and others they walk and partner with. They have four married children and eight grandchildren.
