TopicThe Movement
What is Love on The World?
Love on The World is a Christian movement focused on fulfilling the Great Commission by helping believers share the Gospel, make disciples, serve their communities, and multiply outreach groups in cities and nations.
Learn about the movementWhat does Love on The World mean by the Great Commission?
The Great Commission is Jesus' call in Matthew 28:18-20 to make disciples of all nations. For Love on The World, that means sharing Jesus, baptizing and teaching new believers, and helping disciples become disciple-makers.
Read the missionWho founded Love on The World?
Love on The World was founded by Daniel and Katie Ziedins in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 2014. It began as street outreach called Love on Hamilton and grew into a wider movement reaching cities and nations.
Read our storyWho writes the articles on Love on The World?
The articles are written by Daniel Ziedins, co-founder of Love on The World. They are practical teaching on evangelism, discipleship, prayer, and following Jesus. His personal site is danielziedins.com.
Read the articlesWhat is the Gospel according to Love on The World?
The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again so that anyone who turns to Him in faith can be forgiven, made new, and restored to relationship with God. Love on The World exists to help believers share that message clearly and compassionately.
Read the Gospel in plain wordsWhen does Love on Hamilton meet?
Love on Hamilton gathers every Tuesday at 7:00 PM at 75 John Street North, Hamilton, Ontario. New people are welcome and do not need prior outreach experience. Other city groups publish their own schedules on their city pages.
See this TuesdayWhat is a disciple?
A disciple is a follower of Jesus who learns His way, obeys His teaching, and helps others do the same. Love on The World emphasizes making disciples who make disciples, not collecting one-time decisions.
Read the missionIs Love on The World affiliated with a specific denomination?
Love on The World is a Great Commission movement — not a denomination. Local outreach groups include believers from many churches who unite around Jesus, evangelism, discipleship, and loving their cities practically.
About our beliefsWhere does 'Do everything in love' come from?
1 Corinthians 16:14. It's the motto of Love on The World and sums up how we reach our cities — loving our neighbours in practical ways and sharing Jesus.

Teams gather to pray, encourage one another, meet people in public spaces, offer practical compassion, share the Gospel with respect, and pray with anyone who is open. Each city group follows local leadership and its posted gathering details.
Explore city groupsDo I need evangelism experience to join?
No. New and experienced believers can participate. You can begin by observing, praying, serving practically, and learning alongside a local team before leading conversations yourself.
Open the field guideHow do I share the Gospel with someone?
Begin with prayer and genuine listening. Explain who Jesus is, what He accomplished through His death and resurrection, and how His grace has changed your life. Invite a response without pressure, respect the person's answer, and offer a practical next step such as prayer, Scripture, Christian community, or a follow-up conversation.
Open the evangelism field guideHow do I lead someone to Jesus?
Pray, listen, and explain the Gospel in plain words: God made us on purpose, sin broke that relationship, Jesus died and rose to rescue us, and a person receives Him by trust rather than by earning it. Then be quiet and let them respond. If they say yes, help them pray in their own words, tell another Christian, start the Gospel of John, and agree on a real follow-up.
Read the guideWhat is street evangelism?
Street evangelism is sharing the Gospel with people in public places — sidewalks, parks, transit stops and markets — by noticing people, praying for them, meeting practical needs and telling them about Jesus when they are open. Love on The World teams do it in pairs or groups, respectfully and without pressure.
Read the beginner's guideHow do I share my testimony?
Use three parts, about a minute each: what life was like before Jesus, how you came to trust Him (including the Gospel in plain words), and what is different now. Keep Jesus the hero, skip church jargon, and end with a question that invites conversation.
Get the 3-minute outlineHow do I share my faith with family and friends?
Pray for them by name, let your changed life speak first, share naturally what God has done for you, ask honest questions and listen, and invite without pressure. Respect a no and keep loving them — many people come to faith after years of a loved one's prayers.
Read the guideHow do I overcome fear of sharing my faith?
Pray for boldness, remember that God saves people (not your words), start with your own story, ask questions and offer prayer rather than giving speeches, go with a team, and take one small step at a time.
Seven ways to grow in boldnessWhat are good church outreach ideas?
Start with simple, repeatable ideas: free prayer stations, weekly street outreach, prayer walks, care packs, coffee giveaways and meals for neighbours. Plan follow-up before you start so outreach becomes discipleship.
See 20 practical ideasHow do I share my faith at work?
Let your work speak first through integrity and care, keep faith conversations to breaks or after hours, follow workplace policies, never pressure anyone (especially people you supervise), and answer questions about your hope briefly and sincerely.
Wise, respectful stepsWhat is evangelism?
Evangelism is sharing the good news about Jesus — that He died for our sins and rose again — and inviting people to trust and follow Him. Every Christian is called to be a witness.
Meaning and typesWhat Bible verses talk about sharing your faith?
Key passages include Matthew 28:19–20, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8, Romans 1:16, Romans 10:14–15, 2 Timothy 1:7 and 1 Peter 3:15 — the call, the message, boldness and gentleness.
Verses by themeHow can I help homeless people in my city?
Start with dignity: learn their name, ask what they need, carry a simple care kit (socks, water, snacks, hygiene items), offer to pray without making it a condition, stay safe by going in pairs, and partner with local shelters so you can keep showing up.
Practical guideHow can Christians serve their community?
By meeting practical needs consistently — helping neighbours, volunteering with local organisations, caring for the isolated, supporting schools and responding in crises — while praying for the city (Jeremiah 29:7) and being ready to share the hope of Jesus.
20 practical ideasHow do you share Jesus with children?
Use simple, age-appropriate words: God made you and loves you, we have all done wrong, Jesus died for our wrong and rose again, and if we trust Him we become part of God's family forever. Live it at home, never pressure, and outside your own family work with parents and follow safeguarding policies.
A guide for parents and leaders TopicStarting a Group
How do I start an outreach group in my city?
Begin with prayer, gather two or three committed believers, choose a consistent public place and time, and contact Love on The World for support. The movement provides a simple pathway and practical tools to help a local team begin faithfully.
Start a group TopicPrayer
How do I prayer-walk my neighbourhood?
Choose a safe public route, go with a partner when possible, ask God for compassion, notice without making assumptions, pray specific blessing over the people and places you pass, and finish by choosing one practical act of love. Love on The World's free guide includes 30, 45, 60, and 90-minute plans, a timer, prayer prompts, and a safety checklist.
Build a prayer walkHow can I pray for the nations with Love on The World?
Visit Love on Nations for prayer points across 36 countries and regions. Each nation includes a specific prayer focus so you can carry places you may never visit into your daily prayer life.
Pray for nationsHow do I pray when I don't know what to say?
Use ordinary words. A prayer can be one sentence: help, thank you, or a person's name. If you want a shape, walk through the Lord's Prayer in your own words — who God is, what you need today, what needs forgiving, and help for the next step. Silence counts. You do not have to sound like anyone else.
A simple way to prayHow do I pray for someone in public?
Ask simply — "Would it be okay if I prayed for that right now?" — let them say what they need, ask before any touch, then pray briefly in plain words using their name. Respect a no, never blame anyone if a prayer isn't answered as hoped, and offer a next step.
See example prayersHow do I pray for revival?
Start with your own heart, then pray for local churches and pastors, for people far from God by name, over the places in your city, and with Scripture such as 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Habakkuk 3:2 — ideally together with other believers.
How to pray for revivalHow do I hear God's voice?
Start with Scripture, which is God's voice in writing. Make space to be still, ask Him specific questions, and test what you sense: it should agree with the Bible, sound like Jesus, build love and be confirmed by wise believers.
A practical guideHow do I start a prayer group?
Pick a regular time and place, personally invite two or three people, keep it to about 45 minutes, and follow a simple format: Scripture, thanksgiving, praying for each other, then an agreed focus such as your city or the nations.
A 45-minute formatWhat is intercessory prayer?
Intercession is praying to God on behalf of others — family, friends, leaders, your city and the nations — standing in the gap and asking God to act (1 Timothy 2:1; Ezekiel 22:30).
How to pray for othersWhat does the Lord's Prayer mean?
It's the prayer Jesus taught in Matthew 6:9–13: honour God as Father, ask for His kingdom and will on earth, trust Him for daily needs, receive and give forgiveness, and ask for protection from evil. It works as both a prayer and a pattern.
Line by lineWhat does the Bible say about anxiety?
It invites you to bring every worry to God in prayer with thanksgiving, promising His peace will guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:6–7), and to cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Prayer and professional help can go together.
Verses for anxietyWhat are good Bible verses about prayer?
Key verses include 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (pray continually), Matthew 7:7 (ask, seek, knock), Philippians 4:6–7 (pray instead of worrying), James 5:16 (prayer is powerful) and Matthew 6:9–13 (the Lord's Prayer).
Verses by themeHow do you pray for your city?
Pray for leaders, churches, schools, workplaces, families, the vulnerable, peace, and that many would come to Jesus (Jeremiah 29:7; 1 Timothy 2:1–2). Practical rhythms include praying on your commute, prayer walking, praying through local news, and gathering others to pray.

What was the August 2026 evangelism training in Hamilton?
Love on The World's evangelism training was scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2026, at Hamilton Christian Fellowship. Registration is now closed. The archived event page preserves the schedule, while the Events page is the source for current gatherings.
See current eventsWhat was Jesus Festival Hamilton 2026?
Jesus Festival Hamilton was a free, all-ages gathering at Gage Park on September 4-5, 2026. Friday's Pure Worship Night ran 6:00-9:00 PM, and Saturday's Family Festival Day ran 10:00 AM-6:00 PM with worship, the Gospel, baptisms, a Kids Zone, food, and community. That weekend is finished.

See current gatheringsWere there baptisms at Jesus Festival Hamilton?
Baptisms were part of Saturday's Family Festival Day at Gage Park on September 5, 2026. That weekend is over. If you want to be baptized now, talk with a local church. Baptism identifies a believer with Jesus; it does not earn salvation.

Read the invite guide TopicFollowing Jesus
How do I become a Christian?
Becoming a Christian means turning from running your own life and putting your trust in Jesus Christ — believing He died for your sin and rose from the dead, and receiving Him as Saviour and Lord. There is no ritual, fee, or qualification; you can tell God so in your own words right now. Then tell another Christian, begin reading the Gospel of John, and connect with a healthy local church.
Start hereWhat do Christians actually believe about Jesus?
That God made people on purpose and for relationship with Him; that sin broke that relationship; that Jesus — God come as a man — lived the life we could not live, died in our place, and physically rose from the dead; and that this rescue is received as a free gift by trusting Him rather than by earning it.
Read the whole thingI have done too much for God to forgive me. Is that true?
No. The first person Jesus promised paradise to was a criminal being executed beside Him who had nothing left to offer but a sentence of faith. There is no floor below His reach, and you do not clean your life up before coming to Him — you come to Him and He begins the work.
Honest answersIs there a prayer I can pray to give my life to Jesus?
No words are magic — God responds to your heart, not to a formula. If you want help beginning, pray something like: “Jesus, I have been running my own life and I need You. Thank You for dying for my sin and rising again. I turn from my old way and I trust You. Be my Saviour and my Lord. Amen.” If you meant it, He heard it.
Pray it hereWhat is baptism?
Baptism is a believer going under the water and coming up again, in front of other Christians, as a picture of Jesus' death and resurrection and as obedience to Him. It does not earn forgiveness — Jesus saves people who trust Him. It is how a local church publicly identifies a disciple. Love on The World is not a church; ask the church you are joining when and how they baptize.
A plain answerWhat should I do after accepting Jesus?
Begin by trusting His grace, reading the Gospel of John, praying honestly, telling a mature Christian, connecting with a healthy local church, and asking about baptism. Love on The World's free seven-day guide saves your progress privately and helps you take one faithful step at a time.
Begin First Steps With JesusWhere should a new Christian start reading the Bible?
Start with the Gospel of John, one chapter a day, not at the beginning of the whole Bible. After a short section, ask what it shows about Jesus, what you can trust, and one thing to do today. You will not understand every verse. Keep going, and ask a person when you are stuck.
A first-time reading planHow do I pray if I am a new Christian?
Speak to God honestly in ordinary words. A prayer can be one sentence. Thank Him, ask for help, confess sin, pray for others, and leave room for quiet. The Lord's Prayer is a pattern you can walk through in your own words, not a script you have to recite.
A simple way to prayHow do I find a healthy church as a new believer?
Look for a church that centres on Jesus and the Gospel, teaches Scripture faithfully, practices prayer and loving community, handles leadership responsibly, and helps people grow toward baptism, maturity, service, and mission.
What to look for in a churchWhat is Christian baptism and why does it matter?
Baptism is a public act of obedience that identifies a believer with Jesus in His death and resurrection. It does not earn salvation; it declares the new life Jesus has given. A faithful local church can help a new believer understand and prepare for baptism.
Explore the baptism stepHow do I disciple someone?
Meet regularly with one person, read a short Bible passage together, ask what it says about God and people, decide one step of obedience for the week, pray together, and encourage them to share what they learn — so they can disciple someone else too.
Read the practical guideHow do I lead a Bible study?
Read a short passage twice, then ask simple discovery questions: What does it say about God? About people? Is there something to obey or follow? What will I do this week, and who will I share it with? You don't need to have every answer.
Get the one-hour planWhat is repentance?
Repentance means turning around — changing your mind about sin and God, turning away from going your own way, and turning to trust and follow Jesus. It isn't earning forgiveness; it's coming home to a God who forgives.
What repentance meansWhat does it mean to be born again?
Being born again means receiving new spiritual life from God through the Holy Spirit when you turn from your own way and trust Jesus. Jesus said in John 3 that no one can see the kingdom of God without it. It is how anyone becomes a Christian.
Read the clear answerWhat is grace?
Grace is God's undeserved favour: forgiveness, new life and His help given freely to people who could never earn it. Christians are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, not by good works (Ephesians 2:8–9).
Grace in plain wordsWho is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is God — the third person of the Trinity — who lives in every believer, gives new life, teaches, helps us pray, grows Jesus' character in us and empowers us to share the Gospel.
Who He is and what He doesWhat does it mean to be saved?
To be rescued by God from sin and its consequences and brought into a restored relationship with Him through faith in Jesus — a gift received by grace, not earned (Ephesians 2:8–9).
What salvation meansWho is Jesus?
Jesus of Nazareth is a real first-century Jewish man, crucified under Pontius Pilate, whom Christians believe is God the Son: fully God and fully human. He claimed to be one with the Father (John 10:30), forgave sins, died for the sins of the world and rose from the dead.
Who He isWhy did Jesus die on the cross?
Because sin separates people from God and carries a real penalty. Jesus, who had no sin, willingly took that penalty in our place (1 Peter 3:18; 2 Corinthians 5:21), showing God's love and making forgiveness a free gift to anyone who trusts Him. His resurrection proved it worked.
A clear answerWhat does 'seek first the kingdom of God' mean?
In Matthew 6:33 Jesus tells worried people to make God's rule and His will their first priority, ahead of food, clothes and money, trusting their heavenly Father to provide what they need. It is a call to trust and priority, not a formula for wealth.
Matthew 6:33 explainedHow do I find my calling as a Christian?
Start with the calling every Christian shares: follow Jesus, love God and people, and make disciples. Then look where your gifts, burdens, relationships and open doors overlap, do the next faithful thing, and ask wise believers to confirm what they see.
Find your callingDid Jesus really rise from the dead?
Christians believe He did, and the evidence is stronger than many expect: an early report of appearances in 1 Corinthians 15, an empty tomb first found by women, appearances to groups, sceptics like James and Paul transformed, and a movement that began in Jerusalem, where a body could have ended it.
Look at the evidenceCan you trust the Bible?
There are good reasons to. More than 5,800 Greek New Testament manuscripts survive, the Dead Sea Scrolls showed the Hebrew text was copied faithfully over a thousand years, and archaeology regularly confirms people and places it names. The best test is to read it yourself.
Honest answersHow can I grow closer to God?
Make steady space for Him: read the Bible, pray honestly, listen, belong to a church, worship, serve someone and share what He has done. Small daily habits shape you more than rare big efforts, and God promises to come near as you come near (James 4:8).
7 daily habitsWhat does the Bible say about hope?
Biblical hope is confident expectation grounded in God's faithfulness, "an anchor for the soul" (Hebrews 6:19). Through Jesus' resurrection believers have "a living hope" (1 Peter 1:3), even in suffering (Romans 5:3–5).
Verses for hard daysWhat does it mean to be salt and light?
In Matthew 5:13–16 Jesus says His followers are the salt of the earth — preserving what is good and bringing God's flavour to life — and the light of the world, living so visibly that people see their good deeds and glorify God.
Matthew 5:13–16 explainedWhy does God allow suffering?
The Bible points to a world broken by sin, human freedom often used to harm others, and God's patience in delaying judgement so more people can be forgiven. In Jesus, God entered our suffering, and He promises a day with no more death, mourning or pain (Revelation 21:4).
An honest Christian answerHow do you become a Christian?
By turning from sin and trusting Jesus Christ — who died for your sins and rose again — as your Saviour and Lord. Salvation is a free gift received by faith, not earned (Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8–9).
A simple, honest guideWhat does the parable of the Good Samaritan mean?
In Luke 10:25–37 Jesus shows that loving your neighbour means showing practical mercy to anyone in need — even someone you were taught to avoid — and ends with the command, 'Go and do likewise.'
The parable explainedWhat are spiritual gifts?
Abilities given by the Holy Spirit to every Christian for the good of others and the building up of the Church (1 Corinthians 12:7; 1 Peter 4:10). They are usually discovered by serving.
How to discover yoursHow do you forgive someone who hurt you?
Name the hurt honestly, remember how much God has forgiven you, then choose before God to release the person from what they owe and leave justice to Him (Romans 12:19). Forgiveness is not forgetting, excusing or automatically trusting again, and it never requires staying in danger.
A biblical, honest guideWhat is the fruit of the Spirit?
The nine-fold character the Holy Spirit grows in every Christian: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22–23). It grows as believers stay connected to Jesus (John 15:5).
Galatians 5:22–23 explainedWhat is the Trinity?
The Christian belief that there is one God who exists eternally as three distinct persons — the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit — each fully God. It summarises what the Bible teaches, for example at Jesus' baptism (Matthew 3:16–17) and in Matthew 28:19.
One God in three personsWhat happens when you die, according to the Bible?
The body dies but the person continues. Those who trust Jesus go to be with Him (Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8), everyone will face God (Hebrews 9:27), and when Jesus returns the dead will be raised and God will make all things new (1 Corinthians 15; Revelation 21:4).
What the Bible actually saysWhat is worship?
Giving God the honour, love and obedience He deserves with your whole life — not only singing, but prayer, thanksgiving, obedience, giving, serving and everyday work done for Him (Romans 12:1; John 4:24).
