God took our founder, John George Govan, on a journey...
John George Govan was born in Scotland in 1861. He was strongly influenced by his Christian parents and he gave his life to Christ at the age of 12. As a young man, he was greatly influenced by D.L. Moody and General Booth.
John's older brothers were actively involved in evangelism and he was deeply impacted by their zeal and dedication to reach lost souls.
Prayer, Evangelism & Revival
Launched in an atmosphere of Prayer, Evangelism and Revival this passion has been engrained in the ministry of The Faith Mission from its beginning in Scotland, October 1886, and continues to be the emphasis of The Faith Mission (in Canada). The command to ‘preach the Gospel to every person’ and the instruction ‘that by all means some may be saved’ throw light on the variety of ministries, methods and places visited by mission evangelists over the years.
Our commitment to preach an uncompromising Gospel, to passionately support the local church through children and adult ministries, to encourage prayer and holiness of life and to recognize "it is not by might, nor by power but by MY Spirit says the Lord” is as clear today as it was in 1927 when The Faith Mission came to Canada.
