Abbotsford Christ

Rev. Justin D. Manzey, founder and director of Latitude Ministries, has journeyed in ministry for over 20 years. He, his wife Kim and their family moved to Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada in 1995 from Miami, Florida, USA to pioneer a ministry designed to serve and bring health to churches and church leadership throughout the nations. Bring Leaders In to be Equipped, Build Leaders Up to be Empowered, Send Leaders Out to Serve, To be coaches to leaders and churches in the area of leadership development and church development. Latitude Ministries (formerly known as Christ in Action) has seen a lack of leadership, discipleship, balanced evangelism, vision, purpose, direction, order, and organization in the local churches that has caused pastors and youth pastors to feel frustratedd, undecided, burned out, and often unsure of their call. This has caused many Christian leaders to ask, Am I doing something wrong? and, Is it even worth it anymore? This ministry understands those very issued and we desire to serve in a way that leaders would be encouraged, refreshed, and restored to the awesome call that the Lord has on their lives. Remember, everyone needs encouragement, especially Christian leaders. We are all called to minister to one another and strengthen each other. Latitude Ministries desire is to minister to the local churches and communities to bring repentance, refreshing, and restoration. By reaching out, our goal is to raise up and encourage leaders who would then raise up leaders to bring forth the gospel. Our focus is discipleship and leadership based on servanthood. We also desire to exhort leaders in how to delegate the work of the ministry so that pastors can have time to Pray, Preach and Protect their flock.
