On Mission Team

Char Woodman is an internal change catalyst who helps others understand their identity and value as a child of God. One of her guiding scriptures is Matt 7:6: “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Do not give what is holy and pure to those people or environments that do not value what you offer. Rather, give your pearls to those who appreciate, respect, and value what you offer. As a Certified Creativity Coach, producer, and photographer for 20 years, Char understands the value of creating a safe environment that inspires trust quickly, activating and empowering new mindsets and spaces to show up authentically. Her goal is to lead people to healthy, accurate mindsets rooted in the scripture Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will.” She believes in attunement and connection, which ultimately is the invitation to transformation, and transformed people transform people. The ultimate connection is with the one true vine. John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing’ Go be great and remember God loves you and Jesus loves you ♥

Shawn Alain is a devoted follower of Christ, joyfully embracing his identity as an adopted Child of God, as declared in Romans 8:15: “You received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’” Baptized on July 9, 2023, at Riverside Community Church in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Shawn found his spiritual home under the guidance of Pastor Derrick and Pastor Faheem. Having grown up Catholic but feeling disconnected in his teens from the Catholic institution, he rediscovered faith through a personal relationship with Jesus, trusting in salvation through Christ’s death and resurrection. As the owner of a digital marketing agency specializing in social media and web design, Shawn uses his 25+ years of expertise to glorify God authentically. His passion is to live out Matthew 22:37-38: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” He believes true transformation flows from abiding in Christ, as Jesus says in John 15:5: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.” Connect with Shawn on social media to share in the joy of God’s family. Jesus loves you!
