Re: Face to Face Ministries
Centered in Saskatoon, Face to Face Ministries has been conducting youth retreats and presentations both within this diocese and in several other dioceses of Western Canada. They have been doing so since 2003 and have built a solid experience of evangelization that has touched the hearts and lives of many young people. This is done through joyful praise and worship music, through vibrant preaching faithful to the Catholic teaching, through personal testimonies, through prayer ministry, through Eucharist and Eucharistic adoration. They have brought Jesus Christ and his message of love and truth to many young people either strengthening a faith already present or else bringing to a conversion of heart and ways. In doing so, they have built a strong team and a strong community of support for this ministry.
I offer my recommendation and blessing to their ministry. I encourage those interested in availing themselves of the Services of Face-to-Face Ministries to especially prepare well for their coming to your community by seeking a description of the content, format and style of the retreat or presentation and by planning the follow up in terms of your own on-going youth ministry.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact my office.
Sincerely in Christ,

First let me say what a great honor and privilege it was for me to be at the Ignite Camp this year! Face to Face Ministries is one of the most unique evangelization ministries I have ever seen. The energetic delivery and powerful messages kept the youth's hearts hungry for the beauty and truth of God’s Word during the entire week.
This is what makes you unique: the tremendously inspiring and dynamic presentation style of Face to Face Ministries, evenly balanced with time for spiritual enrichment (Mass, prayer, and Adoration) breathes life into the souls of youth who are mired in a culture of death. You rarely see this combination of catechesis and spirituality woven together with such splendor and faithfulness to Church teaching. Ken understands that youth are the future of the Church, and with Face to Face Ministries to guide them, the future looks very bright indeed!
Thank you for this opportunity to endorse Face to Face Ministries! I would love to work with you again in the future. God bless!
