About

Mission:

To serve the maturation of apostolic foundations in the Canadian Church by intentionally investing in the next generation of fivefold leaders.

Vision:

Futures Alliance exists as a relational bridge, helping to restore family, formation, and generational continuity for fivefold leaders within the Body of Christ Nationally. We serve those called to build, innovate, plant, and strengthen the local work of the Church, ensuring they are developed and released as fathers and mothers in their own right, functioning within the household of God and relationally connected to the local church.

Values:

We adhere to a set of counter-cultural values designed to break the spirit of orphanhood and restore an Antioch-style, family-centered apostolic model of team ministry:

Identity over Industry: You are seen for who you are, not merely what you produce.

Sacred Disruption: We embrace apostolic grace that lovingly reforms culture.

Family before Function: Belonging precedes responsibility.

Relationship before Release: Inheritance flows from relationship, not gifting.

Character before Gifting: Character sustains long-term influence.

Formation over Information: Presence and process matter more than programs.

Shared Authority over Hierarchy: Authority expressed through trust, relationship, and shared responsibility.

Succession yields Success: Generational momentum is preserved through faithful transfer and stewardship.

Strategic Priorities & Methodology

Our primary focus is on fivefold ministers (ages 20–40), including both emerging and established leaders.

History

The Canadian Coalition realized the importance of thinking multi generationally, with a vision to connect the generations so that the Apostolic Movement in Canada would experience exponential growth and maturity over the next decade. This has resulted in the formation of Futures Alliance Canada as a life-giving component of the CCAL.

Futures Alliance Canada had its beginnings in 2018 when the CCAL Leadership empowered Kenn Gill and Michael Sitko to participate in the USCAL Bridge Summits in Dallas, Texas with a view towards building a Canadian expression of Futures Alliance USA. Over the next two years Kenn and Michael met with Joseph Mattera, Ned Maraman and Andrew Moman three of the founders of Futures Alliance USA as well as many other leaders exploring and learning from them. Following our research phase, we began to lay out an organic framework for Futures Alliance Canada.

In March of 2020 Kenn Gill and Mike Sitko met with three next generation leaders for an ad hoc meeting with a view towards creating a Future’s Alliance executive to act as a steering council. The five leaders were very enthused about the prospect of this Alliance. To facilitate forward movement, the steering council prayerfully considered and identified dozens of emerging leaders within our target demographic from across Canada who would, with the council, initiate our new beginnings.

In September of 2020 the initiative was launched hosting National & International Apostolic leaders from around the world infusing their wisdom and experience into the young leaders assembled during our monthly ZOOM calls. Our long term goal is to eventually launch an in person initiative by way of an annual conference, the Bridge Summit /Gathering for the purpose of networking, cross pollination, and the deepening of relationships between seasoned and younger leaders.

In November of 2021, we added to the team Teresa Webber, wife of founding member Peter Webber after his sudden passing.

In September of 2025, after the passing of Kenn Gill, David Kalaman and Craig Buroker were added to the team to compliment a multi generational expression and mandate to build together generationally.

Kenn Gill

Kenn & Cheryl Gill have been serving in active ministry since 1973 and their passion 'out of the gate’ was to see the five post- resurrection ministry gifts of Ephesians 4:11 fully restored to a highly functioning New Testament apostolic enterprise.  

It has been their honor to serve in kingdom enlargement and expansion as they have sought to fulfill Acts 1:8 as a purposeful Mission Empowered Witness Strategy [MEWS] given by Jesus to His Church for kingdom advancement on the earth.

Their ministry passion was cultivated from Luke 19:10 to harvest lost people, redeem culture, disciple and equip those won to Christ and effectively mobilize His body to active cultural engagement both locally and globally through schools of leadership training, intercession, discipleship, day, mission, schools of the Apostolic and the planting of missional churches. 

From their ministry settings their Proverbs 31:8,9 voice of compassion has been lifted globally as a 'Voice to the Voiceless’ to ‘speak up on behalf of those who do not have a voice’ [POWRP] the poor, the orphan, the widow, the refugee, the prisoner, the unborn, the homeless and the disenfranchised in fulfillment of Isaiah's directive as recorded Chapter 58:6-8 and Solomon’s wisdom of Proverbs 6:16-19. 

Their C.O.R.E. passion is to Advance the Cause of Christ in the earth as Kingdom Sons. They have trained and mobilized scores of ministry teams to scores of nations and they long to see the restoration of an Apostolic Christianity in the earth. 

They have been married for 48 years. They have four children, seven grandchildren and presently reside in the city of Calgary that serves as a base of operations for Ripple Effect Ministries. They see themselves as Kingdom Investors with an objective to influence the building of 21st Century Houses of Mercy, locally and globally. 

The 'joy of the Lord' is the strength of their lives. 

Kenn passed in June of 2025 and is survived by his wonderful wife Cheryl and 4 children.
