Gareth and Michaela Wiesner are embarking on a remarkable journey in Toronto, Canada — the most multi-ethnic city in the world. Originally from the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa, they bring a rich cultural perspective to their ministry. Toronto, with its vibrant tapestry of cultures, mirrors the diverse multitude described in Revelation 7:9, where people from every nation, tribe, and language gather before the throne of God in unity.
This setting offers an unparalleled opportunity for ministry, especially at the University of Toronto campus, where their new church, Every Nation GTA (Greater Toronto Area), is strategically located. Here, they serve a community of approximately 98,000 students representing 170 countries, and 200 ethnic groups, embodying the vision of a heavenly gathering envisioned in Revelation.
Gareth and Michaela believe that God's purpose led them to Toronto, a city rich in diversity and strategic significance. This aligns seamlessly with the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, where Jesus commands, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations," and with the calling in Isaiah 6:8–10, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" They have answered, ‘Here we are, God. Send Us!’
The work God is doing in Toronto is immense, and Gareth and Michaela are humbled to be part of it. They witness young lives being transformed as students encounter Jesus in profound ways, reshaping their futures and igniting a passion for God's calling. But this mission extends beyond them; it calls for a community of ministry partners united in faith.
We are deeply grateful for ministry partners like you who join us in this global mission. Together, we can reach the campuses and transform the world.
