Please support your local foodbank drug and alcohol center. #opioidcrisis #overdose #streetoutreach #streetpastor My email john@brotherjohnelving.com My website brotherjohnelving.com My Youtube youtube.com/c/BrotherJohnE… My Rumble rumble.com/user/BROTHERJO… Facebook facebook.com/BrotherJohnstr… My Facebook group facebook.com/share/g/14jFZ5… My Instagram instagram.com/brotherjohnstr… My whole life I struggled with drug addictions. By the grace of God, I am in my 7 years clean and sober. Now in my 5 years of full-time street ministry. I love the homeless and the addicted. When I was a teenage runaway I got involved with streetlife, gangs, jail, and homelessness. I graduated from the Teen Challenge drug addictions center and flew to Mexico City. Two years later I graduated with a diploma in Ministry in Spanish. My ministry is focused on the truth found in the Bible taught in all Christian Churches. I was dedicated and baptized in a Pentecostal church. My family has been a part of the Canadian Pentecostal church for three generations. ​ The good news of the Gospel is forgiveness of sin. The consequence of our sins is hell, a place of torment for eternity. The Father sent his only son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. We accept the gift of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. There are great pastors in your community who want to help you. Contact them and get involved in a local church. We are all one family in Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless you. Luke 5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. KJV

Today marks 8 years since I stepped back into full-time ministry. My journey back into ministry began on my knees in a homeless shelter, crying out to God and asking Him to forgive me for all my sins. I told the Lord that if He would have mercy on me, I would serve Him all the days of my life. Today, I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I look back on the faithfulness of God. Over these last 8 years, the Lord has restored so much in my life, not only my relationship with Him, but also my family, my daughters, my calling, and my purpose. By His grace, I’ve now had the privilege of traveling and ministering across Canada, the United States, Mexico, Sweden, and Finland, preaching the Gospel, encouraging people in recovery, and bringing hope to those who feel forgotten or broken. Today was especially meaningful to me because I was invited to speak at a women’s recovery center, and it was such a powerful and humbling opportunity. I was able to share my testimony, hand out copies of my book, and preach from Luke 15, reminding them that the prodigal sons and daughters are still coming home. As I stood there today, I couldn’t help but think about where God has brought me from, from addiction, brokenness, and hopelessness, to restoration, purpose, and the joy of serving others. Only Jesus can do that. And the journey is still continuing. Right now I’m headed to Calgary, Alberta for street outreach, to meet with friends of the ministry, and to visit a recovery center to encourage the young men who are currently in treatment. What a gift it is to now walk into places like that, not as the broken man I once was, but as someone carrying the hope and mercy of Jesus. To every person who has prayed for me, supported this ministry, followed along online, encouraged me, or stood with me over the years, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are part of this story too, and I am deeply grateful for every one of you. My prayer is that my testimony would encourage someone today to keep going, to not give up, and to believe that Jesus still restores lives. No one is too far gone. There is still hope. There is still healing. There is still a way home.

Buddy the cat went to church yesterday… and I’m pretty sure she had more fans than me 😂🐱⛪ Before the service, I asked if I could bring her in and quietly sit in the back. Buddy loves people, is super calm in crowds, and honestly might be the most friendly cat I’ve ever had. She did amazing. Just sat there, purred the whole time, and soaked it all in like she’s been going to church her whole life 😂🐾 She literally sat through Pastor Reg’s service like a little church cat, then afterward made her rounds at the fellowship banquet like a celebrity. Everyone loved her. She was calm, happy, and just brought a lot of joy into the room. Not gonna lie… Buddy might be taking over the ministry at this point 😂❤️ If you’d like to follow the journey, support the outreach, or check out what we’re doing, you can visit: brotherjohnelving.com #BuddyTheCat #ChurchCat #AlbertaMinistry #StreetMinistry #BrotherJohnElving

Yesterday I had the privilege of being with Pastor Reg and his church family. He invited me to share with the church about the street ministry outreach the Lord has called me to, and it was such an encouraging time. The service was beautiful, the fellowship was sweet, and afterward they held their monthly banquet, which was a real blessing to be part of. It meant a lot to connect with so many kind people, and it was especially encouraging that a number of them already knew me through my social media videos. It’s always humbling to see how God uses these online platforms to open real doors for ministry in person. And yes, Buddy the cat was on his best behaviour 🐱😂 He made lots of new friends and definitely enjoyed all the attention. One of the biggest blessings from yesterday was meeting a new friend, Natasha, who is the director of a women’s recovery centre. She has invited me to come and share my testimony this morning at 10 AM. I’ll be encouraging the women, sharing what God has done in my life, and reminding them that no one is too far gone for the grace of God. There is real hope, freedom, and restoration in Jesus Christ. This Alberta mission trip has already been incredibly encouraging. I’ve been reconnecting with old friends, meeting people who watch online, and being reminded again that the body of Christ truly is one family. God is opening doors, and I’m so thankful to be able to serve wherever He leads. Next stop: Calgary, Alberta. I’ll be in Calgary for the rest of this week. If you live in or around Calgary and would like to grab a coffee, say hello, or even meet Buddy the cat, feel free to send me a message or email me at john@brotherjohnelving.com Thank you to everyone praying for this trip and supporting this ministry. Your prayers, encouragement, and support truly make a difference. ❤️ brotherjohnelving.com #AlbertaMinistry #CalgaryAlberta #StreetMinistry #Testimony #JesusSaves

What an awesome last day in Kamloops 🙏❤️ I had the privilege of sitting around the kitchen table with about 15 men in a recovery program, hearing their stories, praying with them, and sharing a little about my ministry. Every single man in that room is deeply loved by the Father, and each one is a miracle of God’s grace. ✝️🔥 One brother had reached one full year clean and sober that very morning 🙌 As much as I came to encourage them, the truth is, they deeply encouraged me. A special thank you to Pastor James, a dear friend I’ve known for about six years. I truly value his friendship and ministry partnership. ❤️ The work he is doing through The Mustard Seed in Kamloops is vital, serving people on the front lines with real love and hope. 🙏 I’m so grateful for this time, and I can’t wait to return this summer to continue outreach in the community. ☀️🚐📖 If you’d like to learn more, download my book, or support the outreach: brotherjohnelving.com 🌎 #Kamloops #MustardSeed #Recovery #AddictionRecovery #StreetMinistry #JesusSaves #ChristianOutreach #HopeInChrist #BrotherJohnElving #FaithInAction #MinistryPartnership #RecoveryMinistry #StreetOutreach #GodIsGood #CleanAndSober #Testimony

This is the proper reaction when a pastor tries to work a miracle by pushing your forehead.

My van is fixed and I’m back on the road. Tonight I’m spending one night in Jasper, and tomorrow I’ll be heading into Edmonton to continue street outreach, visit recovery and treatment centres, and encourage people who are fighting to rebuild their lives. I never take these opportunities lightly. So many people are hurting, searching, and trying to find hope in the middle of addiction, brokenness, and hard seasons. I’m grateful to be able to go, listen, pray, encourage, and remind people that their story is not over. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for this trip and standing with me in this ministry. Your support, prayers, and encouragement help make these kinds of outreach trips possible, and I’m deeply thankful. If you’re in Edmonton and would like to connect in person, send me a message or email me at john@brotherjohnelving.com. And yes, Buddy the cat is traveling with me too. If you’d like to learn more about the ministry or help support the outreach, download my book for free visit: brotherjohnelving.com If you’d like to donate to my ministry, it is brotherjohnelving.com/donate #StreetOutreach #Edmonton #Recovery #ChristianMinistry #FaithInAction

More Prophetic Fraud on the part of "Prophet" Jeremiah Johnson surrounding his famous Donald Trump Election prophecies. WATCH TODAY: youtube.com/watch?v=69yJyo… My friend Joshua Harris puts out another video. While we are on the subject, neither Jeremiah or Kim Clement said Donald Trump would be president. Both Joshua and I believe in the prophetic and that God still speaks today but we believe Jeremiah has committed prophetic fraud several times in recent times. Now several other have come forward saying the same thing. Because Jeremiah Johnson fails to acknowledge any of this prophetic fraud we will continue to release videos. This might seem harsh at times but we are trying to make sure he isn't able to harm others with his prophetic fraud. Another two victims of Jeremiah Johnson prophetic fraud have come forward: Nancy Knopp has decided to finally come forward and share her story of Jeremiah Johnson using her prophetic revelations as his own with failure to give Nancy credit. NANCY'S LETTER: nancyknopp.com/a-witness-test… Jeremiah Johnson's personal Assistant releases a statement: facebook.com/share/p/1A7Wia… WE URGE JEREMIAH JOHNSON TO STEP DOWN FROM MINISTRY RIGHT AWAY

My plea to Sean Feucht: Please use the multiple exposures of your ministry in recent times to get things cleaned up. Stop denying and deflecting all of your poor behaviors at every turn. Proverbs 29:1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.

I don’t normally post when people block me. This is an appropriate exception. After lying about me (not for the first time) Sean Feucht announced he was going off X for a while. To which I replied with the following gif and he immediately blocked me.

Actually. It even looks like you took a shot and realized it would show up as green, really obviously looking like a SENT WhatsApp message, so you dropped down the saturation to the point where it was now colorless. Notice the praying hands. Identical to WhatsApp praying hands but colorless. Sean, you're busted.

This was hilarious but there’s a deeper issue. The hilarious part is how easy it was to catch Sean Feucht lying to everyone in order to make himself look like a victim (like Jussie Smollett but MAGA). The deeper issue is… Sean Feucht, the famous worship leader with multiple ministries, friend of Shawn Bolz, lies a lot. Yesterday’s example of him lying about me and Julie was merely a convenient one. I quickly discovered it was not a message someone sent Sean but really a message that he sent himself, possibly because he knows I’m going to make a video about him outlining many lies and manipulations in his ministry. The issues I will uncover are serious. He even got a community note. But it doesn’t currently lay out all the reasons for it being fake. So, here’s a list. 1. Check marks indicate a sent message on WhatsApp, not a received one. Only senders see check marks on messages. 2. The praying hands, font, and timestamp are also from WhatsApp. 3. The color has been drained (see the praying hands which would normally have blue sleeves) likely as a way of hiding the green color inherent in a sent message. 4. The message is dumb, implying Sean Feucht wrote it. I have also attached a message I was recently “sent” warning me about Sean Feucht attacking me.

My van broke down in Kamloops, but thank God the parts came in and it’s finally in the shop today. What started as a strange pinging noise while turning ended up being a much bigger issue than I hoped. The front suspension is worn out, both front strut mounts were seized, and I need a full front suspension repair and alignment before I head out again. This is one of those unexpected ministry costs that just comes with living on the road and doing outreach. My van is not just transportation, it’s a huge part of my ministry life. I sleep in the back to save money while traveling, I do my podcast from it, and it carries all of my street outreach gear, books, supplies, and everything I need to keep moving from city to city. I’m hoping to head toward Alberta soon to continue street outreach, connect with friends of the ministry, and visit people along the way, but I need to get this fixed properly first. Thank you so much to everyone who prays for me, encourages me, and financially supports this ministry. Your support truly helps keep me on the road doing what God has called me to do. If you’d like to support the outreach, you can donate through my website: brotherjohnelving.com/donate #StreetMinistry #BrotherJohnElving #OutreachMinistry #VanMinistry
