Curtis and Sylvia Hartshorn

My wife Sylvia and I had a massive awakening in our faith when we were in Malawi, Africa in 2016. We saw how the Christians lived there and we were challenged to get back to the simple Gospel. We felt convicted of how overcomplicating ministry had actually immobilized us. When we got home we encountered an e3 evangelism training and it put words to so much of what Jesus was already speaking to our hearts. We knew then that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives doing ministry as close to how Jesus did it as possible. We've found that e3 Canada gets to the heart of the simple, yet powerful, Gospel and calls believers to make disciples that walk as Jesus did.

Married since 2015, Sylvia and I have three children: Naomi, Gabriel, and Abigail. Our family lives in Peterborough, Ontario and we love to see the lost come to Jesus, and grow into mature disciples who can disciple others. Over the years, our ministry has included house church planting, international missions and missions across Canada, street outreach, equipping churches in evangelism and discipleship tools, hosting worship/encounter nights, mission schools, creating resources to mobilize the church, song writing for both the body of Christ and for evangelism purposes. As we have sought to follow the leadership of the Lord, our ministry has varied greatly, but no matter where God calls, our mission will always be to love people back to life and share that Jesus saves.
