In 1992, Gord founded Vision Ministries Ontario with a passion to plant new churches in Ontario through a collaborative and supportive network of churches. Over many years and with the help of many others and through God’s provision, VMC and the network of churches in Canada have grown to where they are today.
Gord led VMC as Executive Director for 24 years before handing the reins to Mike Stone in 2016. Gord has remained a huge supportive presence for Mike and the staff team during the last 6 years. Now Gord and Heather look forward to a little more time to enjoy other pursuits while still helping VMC pursue its mission in a volunteer capacity.
For those that would like to know more about Gord’s story, we invite you to purchase a copy of his book, Doing It Afraid (available on Amazon).
The Board and Staff of VMC wish Gord and Heather all the best in your retirement. It has been our privilege, along with so many others, to serve with you and be ministered by you. Thank you for your faithful service to the Lord.
