Atlantic Connexion

Hartland Wesleyan (Jamin Melanson) celebrated two baptisms this Sunday – PTL!
  • Amy Taylor (CenterPoint Wesleyan) reported a salvation in their July 13th service – Thanks be to God!
It’s all about transformed lives – every number has a name, and every name has a story that matters.


God is on the move at Framework (Jason Blaikie) and lives are being changed!

  • Jason shared, “When we started The Bridge (@ Hub Coffee) it was with three young adults from three Presque Isle churches. They have been core in forming and raising our young adults and growing our ministry from nothing to 45 this spring with Framework as a spiritual home for this ministry.”
Jason continued, “In May we did a commissioning service with one of the young adult leaders as she was following her calling into missionary service. On July 13th we just did another as of the initial leaders and her husband have felt God calling them to ministry in New York. Our Church surrounded them (pictured above) as we sent them with the backing and blessing of our Church.”
  • “As they leave and we see our vine pruned we are already seeing leaders fill their void as people they have raised up (along with our Y/A pastor, Isaac Ashby) are stepping up and into the roles they previously filled. This is truly seeing disciples making disciples and leaders raising up leaders. How cool to see God move as we at Framework look to Reach, Restore, Raise and Release. Also multiple salvations this weekend!”

A new Believer as early spiritual fruit of the Hub Coffee vision shared this recently, “I have a restored foundation—thanks to Framework, and especially to Hub Coffee. The impact The Hub is having on this community is profound—immeasurable, really. It should be the standard for ministry. While I’ve had to take the action, Framework has provided the road to walk on. God is amazing. I am so blessed to have found this new home. Thank you to you, the staff, the patrons, and all the Christ-followers at Framework for helping me rise from the ash-filled valley. What Dave and the team do at The Hub is miraculous. I spend a great deal of time there, and my observant nature sees the Godly work being done every day. They don’t just serve coffee or Neapolitans—they serve hope. They restore faith. Thank you for creating a space where people are truly seen and loved.”

  • There’s nothing more powerful than competence with humility. (Steve DeNeff)
  • Young men grow up when older men show up. (Chris Harper)
  • Any formation in the face of Christ is for others not myself. Contagious faith is a life of adventure with Jesus. Your call is to be the living proof. Powerless faith is also contagious. It can reshape the Church to something tame. (Jeff Clark)




The Tabernacle stage was filled on the Beulah Family Camp Tuesday evening’s Marketplace Discipleship Conference invitation to be commissioned in the call to disciple-making (bottom picture). CLICK HERE for all the details of this embedded 48-hour conference.

There were so many opportunities for us to learn from and interact with our four guests from College Wesleyan Church (Steve DeNeff) – thank you for coming to spread the fire of this lay movement in the Church!
