James and Colleen Guskjolen

James is in his twenty-seventh year of ministry with The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. During this time he has served as pastor and church planter in Saskatchewan and as a missionary to the island nation of Seychelles.

James has traveled extensively throughout the world to teach and strengthen ministry personnel through leadership seminars with a Biblical focus.

Colleen is called to ministry and the market place. She has a passion and desire to see women everywhere grow to fulfill their personal destiny. Colleen has had the privilege of sharing the word of God with women around the world.

In taking up our responsibilities, our mission is to facilitate the development of new ministries, recruit missionaries and assist current missionaries and nationals to develop and refine their vision, goals and objectives.

Pastorally, we will provide practical and spiritual support to missionaries and national leaders. Practically, our goal is to create effective networks of ministries that will reduce duplication of activities and enhance ministry effectiveness within the region. We will coordinate efforts with ERDO (Economic Relief and Development Overseas) to meet the needs of the poor and continue to build strong educational systems.

Promotionally, we are committed to communicating the needs and challenges of the region to the Canadian constituency and beyond. Personally, a significant part of our mission is to engage entrepreneurs in missions. We believe that engaging entrepreneurs in mission activity will help Christians significantly impact their nations for good through mentoring and the modeling of business practices.
