Alliance Canada Vision 2034

We’re committed to doubling our reach, internationally and nationally by 2034.

What if we double the number of empowered and equipped leaders. What if twice as many people were lifted from poverty, or vulnerable people rescued from exploitation through our ministries? We want a double portion of the Spirit—to see the Gospel transform our world even more.

Partner with PALM Ministry Association

PALM Ministry Association celebrated its 20th anniversary as an official charity in 2023 with a banquet at Central Edmonton Alliance Church. In fact, the initial ministry team was in place starting in 1998 made up of official Alliance Workers Harold and Maureen Klassen and three different African households. For more than two decades now this team has been welcoming newcomers to Canada in Jesus' name.

Today, Ron and Lois, based in Edmonton, along with Shawn in Calgary continue to be employed by PALM and be licensed Alliance workers on "special assignment". If you're looking for a speaker for your church, small group, or any kind of event, we'd be happy to try and make it work. We currently have Tanzanian, Somali, and Syrian staff who would also love to share their story and ministry with you.

Our facility in Edmonton allows us to have roughly 60 men and women enrolled in ESL classes which run 5 days per week. The vast majority of those we serve are from the Muslim world while in total we have served clients from about 90 nations. With a staff of almost 15, we are able to embrace men, women, and children who are new to Canada. But we still count on many volunteers from area churches to fill in all the roles needed to love on immigrants and refugees well.

If you might be interested in checking out service opportunities or to have someone come and speak, please contact Ron at infopalmmin@gmail.com.

Webinar: Welcoming Our Uyghur Neighbour

Canada expects to welcome 10,000 Uyghurs over the next five years. Join this webinar to learn more about their journey, the challenges they face as they build a new life in Canada and how we can welcome them in the name of Jesus. Hear from Uyghur followers of Jesus and from those that have lived and worked with them, both in Asia and here in North America. Whether you have a Uyghur neighbour or not, you will find this webinar a fascinating opportunity to explore what it means to welcome newcomers to Canada from a very different world.

God is Moving in North Korea

North Korea has been the #1 most dangerous country to live in as a Christian for more than 20 years according to Open Doors World Watch List research. It is essential to be a secret Christian in North Korea because the consequences of your faith being found out are severe.

South Asia | Arabian Peninsula

The specific country in the Arabian Peninsula we’re working in is one of the most persecuted places on earth to be a Christian. Following Jesus here is full of risk. We’re training between 75–100 pastors, running social media campaigns with Gospel messaging, and sending humanitarian aid for families in need. Despite the high levels of persecution, the church is growing quickly here and there is much hope!
