Gates are defensive. Nobody attacks a city with a gate. When Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against His church, He was not describing a church hiding behind its walls hoping the darkness stays outside. He was describing a church on the move — kicking at the doors of every place the enemy has claimed, and walking out with people.

That is the whole story of my life with Katie. We did not start with a stage, a brand, or a plan. In 2014 we started on the streets of Hamilton with practical love, prayer, and a question about Jesus. That became Love on Hamilton. Love on Hamilton grew into weekly outreach teams, church equipping, a free citywide festival, and Love on The World — a movement spreading the Gospel and equipping believers in cities across Canada.

Everything on this site — the build log, the brand, the billion-life goal — sits downstream of that. SIX33 is named after Matthew 6:33 for a reason: seek first the Kingdom. The brand is the “all these things.” The Kingdom is the first thing. So this post is not about SIX33. It is about the work the brand exists to serve, and an invitation to be part of it.
