Kari Leoganda has a passion for connecting women to each other and to God. Out of her own pain and personal struggles, she developed a deep desire to help women discover their true source of strength in Jesus Christ. Armed with this vision, Kari connected with Janet Fierbach of Power to Change (P2C). With Kari’s business acumen as a financial planner and entrepreneur, and Janet’s ministry experience, a dream began to take shape. Now, a decade and several hundred transformed lives later, Kari and the members of Women’s Heart-Engaging Network (WHEN) are providing opportunities in English, Spanish, and Cantonese for women to gather, share their stories, and encourage one another. Power to Change Magazine sat down with Kari to hear m

noun  con·flux  \ 1. a coming or flowing together, meeting, or gathering at one point 2. the flowing together of two or more streams by Erica Shelley As a young woman in search of education and opportunity, Jean-Marie left her quiet home village of Guede Codji, Benin, for the bustling economic hub of Cotonou. Though fearful and uncertain of what the future would hold, she was desperate to escape a life of poverty. Like many other young Beninese flocking to Cotonou, she felt forced to trade in the familiarity of home and take a chance on the unknown.

by Stephanie Cooper & Danielle Kinvig “Calgary’s core has been hollowed out, and with it, the identity and purpose of many marketplace leaders.” When gas and crude oil prices plummeted in 2014, Alberta was sent into a tailspin. Companies’ bottom line projections went deep into the red, triggering massive layoffs. In downtown Calgary, hundreds of employees were escorted from their desks in a single day. The fortunate ones were still employed, but with uncertainty looming each day. The unfortunate ones saw their entire companies go under. No one in Calgary was untouched. Four years into the downturn, a city which boasted one of the highest concentrations

Neil Josephson | Contributing Writer Why is marriage so natural and easy at one moment, and so difficult and complex at another? Why do some marriages grow in love and finish together, while others grow cold and end in divorce? Two words: differences and drift. Dealing with differences One of the greatest marriage myths today is the belief that conflict in our relationship is proof that we married the wrong person, or that we are a bad couple, or that we have no future together. Let’s explode that myth right now! Research from the Gottman Institute reveals that couples who are unhappy in their marriages estimate that 69 per cent of their marital conflict is over perpetual issues—essentially, over fundamental differences such as perso

by Fern Cyr | Contributing Writer As Power to Change celebrates its 50th anniversary, there are a multitude of stories to share. God’s faithfulness can be seen through each of these accounts. Below is one such example from Fern Cyr, Chairperson of LeaderImpact’s Calgary City Team. I was living two different lives. As an executive in the male-dominated industry of oil and gas, I was a driven businesswoman focused on efficiencies and profit margins. At home and in my community, I was a woman who loved family and God. No one saw my full personality. However, when I was 30,

Neil talks about FamilyLife and what it looks like, working side by side with his wife Sharol, as a ministry seeking to equip spouses in their marriages and family in today's society: FamilyLife used to be about just coming to the weekend getaway or just watching our TV show, but neither of those fit with our view of ministry. Our thought is, “Let’s equip you to honour Christ in your marriage, raise godly children, and reach out to your neighbours in the area of marriage and family.” A lot of people who come to our weekend would say they are Christians. That’s primarily who we market to. But a lot of people say they are Christians without living the spirit of Christ. They’ll say “oh yeah, I became a Christian when I was in high school, or when I was a little kid,” but they still live their married life and parenting life without any submission to Jesus. He gets segrega

After 14 years as a senior executive with the Jim Pattison Group and several years in leadership at Power to Change, Rod Bergen is named president of Power to Change Ministries.

For the first time in its history, Power to Change – Students begins the school year with a ministry presence in every province in Canada. There are now ministries on 60 campuses across the country.

In 2008, Women's Heart-Engagement Network (WHEN) began its strategy as a sub-ministry of the International Network at Campus Crusade for Christ. Later, in 2014, WHEN would become its own official ministry of Power to Change.  Today, WHEN connects women to Jesus Christ and the local church through meaningful relationships, authentic dialogue, and powerful teamwork.    

Campus for Christ Ministry was the original name of the Student Ministry with Campus Crusade for Christ. With the change of the organization's name in Canada, to Power to Change, Campus for Christ became P2C-Students. P2C-Students is established on many University Campuses in every Canadian Province helping students discover Jesus.  

 Tanya Price speaks about a man who became curious about Christianity and what happened down the road after a seed was planted in him through DRIME: There was an atheist man who regularly came out to the DRIME in Vancouver. He asked us thoughtful questions, was very receptive, and wanted to learn. After a while of coming out to the DRIME skits and connecting him with other believers, he came out to church with us. He did not make any confession to faith and then later moved to Malaysia. It was later that we found out he ran into Alpha people in Malaysia and became a Christian. He called us later to share with us that he was getting baptized. We had a DRIME member to go meet with him and present a Bible to him on behalf of the ministry.

Power to Change partners with More Than Gold and other like-minded ministries to share the gospel message in Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
