THE OBJECTIVE
ENGAGE
Seven Mile Story was crafted to be an approachable, fun, entertaining outreach that anyone can enjoy. No matter what someone's background or foreknowledge of the Bible is, this captivating delivery of the Gospel draws in listeners. Seven Mile Story isn't simply an event, it's an invitation for people to find their place in God's story and then join your congregation on a regular basis to go deeper.
EQUIP
Seven Mile Story doesn't just reach OUT, it builds UP by strengthening people's knowledge of the Bible, equipping listeners to understand it better, and inspiring a renewed hunger for God's Word. It provides a firm foundation of the Biblical narrative that listeners can build upon and pastors have continued to reference in messages time and time again.
SERVE
Church is busy. You have a lot going on. That's why Seven Mile Story doesn't just aim to bless the community but also the leadership of the local Church. Having served in and alongside the Church for over a decade, Ross knows firsthand that "special events" are often the most taxing on leadership and volunteers. We work hard to ensure our demand on your team is minimal. We provide you with all marketing material, handle media for the event, and have minimal requirements to bring this to life.
IGNITE
We want to see people hungry for God's Word. Time and time again we have witnessed people's view of the Bible transform from boring, irrelevant, and outdated, to a book they'd be crazy not to read after encountering the passionate, unbroken story inside. As Bible literacy across North America continues to decline, we want to partner with churches equally excited to see people reading the Bible for themselves.
WE WOULD LOVE TO PARTNER WITH YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY IN PURSUIT OF THIS GOAL IN 2025!
ABOUT ROSS BREITKREUZ
It's pronounced "bright-keh-rights"
Hi! I'm Ross.
After a devastating car accident left me with brain damage, clinical depression, news that I'd never play hockey again and a desire to end it all, Gods Word changed my life. I am passionate about the Bible, changing the way people experience it and inspiring people to encounter the living God of the Bible.
I believe when people experience the Bible as a passionate unbroken story, they can no longer view it as anything less than a book they'd be crazy not to read. Gods Word is living and active and does not return void. If I can use my gift as a communicator to inspire people to pick up a Bible and read it, I know the Holy Spirit will transform lives like it did mine.
I've served in ministry for over 10 years as an itinerant speaker, interim pastor, and most recently as associate pastor on Vancouver Island at Duncan Pentecostal Church. I'm a graduate of Briercrest College & Seminary and hold pastoral credentials through Fellowship Pacific. I've spoken throughout North America, written for magazines, been featured on podcasts, and partnered with many major Christian organizations. When I'm not on the road with Seven Mile Story I speak often at my home church, Sicamous Community Church.
If you have questions about the event or myself, do not hesitate to reach out. I understand all the hesitation about guests speaking in your community. I am more than happy to chat and remove any reservations you may have about myself, my theology and my heart. Also, if you want to watch my personal testimony (which includes what lead me to writing and speaking) or a short promo video I've used on previous tours, you can find them below. I know first hand how demanding ministry is. If you've taken the time to read this, thank you. And if you think Seven Mile Story can serve you, your congregation, and compliment your efforts to advance the Kingdom, I'd love to partner with you.
Sincerely,
Ross Breitkreuz
