ABOUT FOUNDERS



Dr. JOSEPH GRUBB

​Joseph has served GOD in Toronto and abroad for over thirty-five years.  His ministry began in Kitchener-Waterloo in the 80s, trusting and following the LORD JESUS, 
The CHRIST -- Emmanuel -- "GOD with us" (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23).

In 1990, GOD called Joseph and Betty Ann to plant a church in one of Toronto's "toughest" neighborhoods.  Since then he has planted churches in North
America and many other regions and nations of the world.

He has equipped thousands of leaders and others in many nations ... Christian and pre-Christian. And, together with others has cared for orphans and the poor.  By GOD's sovereign call (Psalm 136:19) and HIS grace, Joseph is an apostolic prophet and pastor    to nations, and has shared the "word of the Lord" for the Body of Christ and nations. 

Joseph gives general oversight in a dynamic group called "Hosanna Church" or Toronto Christian International Fellowship.  TCIF began with five people in August of 1990, and from these humble beginnings, the LORD created an international network of churches and ministries called Free Spirit Ministries (FSM).

In Canada, Dr. Grubb is an ordained minister with Ministers Network Canada (MNC).  His earned degrees are from St. Francis Xavier University (B.A); Emmanuel Bible College (B.Th); Master’s International School of Divinity (M.Min, D.P.Th). In 2018, he became a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist with the Grief Recovery Institute.

Betty’s Inspiration For YOU
 
 No Longer Indifferent 
  
“For I would say unto YOU My children, this is not a time for mourning about what I am doing in your life. This is a time of joy.  If YOU would see it with My eyes, with My faith, with My perspective. It is a time of joy ... for whom the SON sets free is free indeed   (John 8:36).
 
For I am saying unto YOU, look not at this as a time of mourning → what YOU have to lose, but look at what YOU have to gain, look at this time as rejoicing ... for whom the SON sets free is free indeed! I have come that YOU might have life and that                   YOU might have it more abundantly. 
 
For I would say unto YOU, do not put grave clothes on. I would say unto YOU, put on My strength ... which is joy (Nehemiah 8:10).  For I would say, as YOU face those things hidden within your heart, as I bring them to the light, be thankful, rejoice that            they  have come to the light. 
 
For there will be victory, as YOU look with joy at those obstacles that YOU are facing (James 1).  Know that YOU are more than conquerors in My Name. Know that I have not caused YOU to fail or be defeated. Again, know that I have come that YOU might have life and life more abundantly (John 10:9-11). 
 
For I would say that in this day, as I remove those things that are hidden within your heart, as YOU cry out to Me ... YOU shall see light come forth in your life, and YOU shall see the manifestation of tears for the lost in this land. 
 
For I would say unto YOU, do not allow grave clothes to come upon YOU!  Look forward with joy ... for I am bringing forth a new strength in YOU, as you embrace Me. As YOU choose Me, I shall bring forth life, resurrection life. As YOU embrace the cross, as YOU come unto Me, I shall bring forth life to YOU” (Betty Ann Grubb).
