About Us
Every believer has escaped eternal hell, and yet few find victory over the daily hell in which they live. Bondage to adverse circumstance, people, sin, and the past continues to steal abundant life from God's children. Abiding Life Ministries Canada is a discipleship ministry committed to helping defeated believers find victory over the daily obstacles of life. We do this by providing resources and seminars to individual believers and churches across Canada.
