Brother John Elving

Brother John Elving I am a street minister working with the homeless and people with drug addictions. God bless you. My whole life I struggled with drug addictions.

By the grace of God, I am in my 6 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.

� Benny Hinn Says He HOPES He Gets to Heaven… Judge freezes Benny Hinn’s bank account

Benny Hinn says he “hopes to be accepted” on that day… but what does the Bible actually say about salvation?

Tonight we break down his own words, his past false prophecies, and the prosperity gospel system, especially in light of recent financial issues and a court-ordered bank account freeze over unpaid debts

We’re asking serious questions:

Is salvation based on hope or assurance in Christ?
What happens when prophecies are admitted to be false?
Does the prosperity gospel hold up under pressure?

These are some moments from outreach over the years 🙏

For the past 8 years I’ve been doing this, serving the community, connecting with people on the streets, in treatment, and in churches. Since 2024 I’ve been traveling more, across the United States, Mexico, Sinaloa, Sweden, and Finland, and next week I’m heading to Albania ✈️🌍

I also do funerals, speak at churches, and offer free consulting for those starting drug and alcohol recovery centres, including help with websites and promotion 💻

Everything I do is free. I’ve never charged for outreach or spiritual counseling. It’s just about helping people and pointing them to Christ ❤️

Thank you to everyone who prays and supports this work. You’re a big part of every connection and every life reached 🙌

� DAYSTAR Witchcraft, Astral Projection & Talking to the Dead?! EXPOSED ‪‬

In this video, I’m exposing two extremely serious teachings that are spreading in the church right now, and both of them cross a biblical line that should never be crossed.

First, we look at a shocking claim from a deliverance ministry where a “witch” allegedly left their body and took over another person. This is being presented as real spiritual warfare, but when you test it against Scripture, it lines up far more with occult practices like astral projection than anything found in the Bible.

Second, we examine a vision shared by Joni Lamb on Daystar Television Network, where she claims to have heard the voice of her deceased husband Marcus Lamb giving her guidance and instruction.

The Bible is very clear on this issue. We are not to seek or receive messages from the dead. That is not prophecy. That is not the Holy Spirit. That falls into the category of necromancy, something God strictly forbids.

This video is not about attacking people. It’s about defending truth.

There is real spiritual warfare. There is real deliverance. But when we go beyond Scripture and begin to mix in mystical experiences, voices, and supernatural claims that cannot be supported by the Word of God, we open the door to deception.

Test everything. Hold fast to what is good.

Me and Buddy the cat are hanging out at NOVUS Glass White Rock today 🐾🚐

They were kind enough to give us a private room while they fix the windshield again , so I’ve got my laptop open getting ministry work done, and Buddy is right beside me, calm as ever 🙏

This is my third windshield issue in a short time, so I’m really thankful this one could be taken care of today

It’s a beautiful day, and we’re doing well, still moving forward one step at a time in outreach ☀️

Thank you to everyone who is praying for and supporting this ministry. Your support truly makes this possible

� Here’s Why Jeremiah Johnson Keeps His Platform, No Matter What- Todd Smith & the Boxes

In this video, I’m addressing something serious in the body of Christ, the issue of spiritual blindness and why certain leaders continue to have a platform regardless of what comes out.

We are not talking about rumors or gossip. There are real allegations, real concerns, and real calls for accountability. Some of these include claims of false prophecy, manipulation, and a refusal to step down despite multiple witnesses and leaders calling for repentance .

As believers, we are called to walk in truth, humility, and discernment. This is not about attacking people, it is about protecting the flock and honoring Christ. When accountability is ignored and concerns are dismissed, it raises serious questions about the condition of the church and our willingness to see clearly.

My heart in this is not hatred, it is love. Love for the truth, love for the church, and love for those who may have been hurt. At the same time, love does not ignore sin. Love calls for repentance, restoration, and righteousness.

We need discernment now more than ever. We cannot afford to be spiritually blind in a time like this.

Back on the road with Buddy 🐱🚐 heading to the mainland.

I’m going to spend some time with my kids before I leave for my mission trip to Albania 🇦🇱, and I’ll also be doing street outreach along the way. I picked up some new blankets to hand out, and I’m trusting God for the right connections as I travel.

Thank you to everyone who prays for and supports this ministry. It truly means a lot. 🙏

� Jeremiah Johnson SHUTS DOWN, Where Are James Goll & Patricia King?

� LIVE: Jeremiah Johnson SHUTS DOWN Social Media + Where Is the Discernment?

Reports are coming in that Jeremiah Johnson has shut down his Facebook and YouTube. That alone raises serious questions.

Tonight we’re also looking at the lack of public discernment from voices like Patricia King and James Goll. How are major prophetic leaders responding, and what are they not saying?

We’ll review clips, compare with Scripture, and talk about what this means for the Church.

Street outreach today, about 12 km (around 7.5 miles) on foot, hours spent connecting with people, praying, and helping where I can. Taking a short coffee break at Tim Hortons and grateful for the strength to keep going.

Today is my last day in Courtenay. Next stop, the mainland. I’ll continue outreach there, and spend some time with my daughters before I fly out for my mission trip in 7 days.

Thank you to everyone who supports this work. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity truly make a difference. You are part of every conversation, every prayer, every life reached.

I am an Ex-Con turned street minister. I graduated from Teen Challenge and flew to Mexico City. Two years later I graduated with a diploma in Ministry in Spanish. Now I minister to the most hurting and dangerous people in our society. Runaway at 13 years old. Grew up back alleys of Main Hastings Vancouver Canada. By 22 sentenced to 9 years in prison. I broke every law in the book. Relationships with countless women, addicted to po*******hy, a compulsive gambler, alcoholic, druggie, reprobate, dead beat dad, and more

(But in Calvinism predestined to salvation).

I was the worst of the worst sinners out there. Jesus came into my life and gave me a new life now. Judge me all you want. I am God's kid now.

Bless you. Brother John
