Next Door Social Space
Next Door Social Space is a community for those without community. A few years back they started a community garden to enable people who live in the community the opportunity to learn how to grow their own vegetables.
Angie Crichton, On Site Manager, talks about the difference it’s made in the lives of families when they have this chance to share in the tending of a garden through the seasons. Our cameras visit them at harvest time and we meet Diana, Rowena and Tabbi as they share the impact that this amazing ministry has made on their lives.
Next Door seeks to be good neighbours, particularly to those living in difficult socioeconomic circumstances. They gather together for meals and social activities. They also use our facility to prepare healthy meals that are distributed throughout the community.

Kevin and Leanna McCarthy
Personal Testimony
On December 27, 2024, Kevin McCarthy suffered a stroke that seemingly happened ‘out of nowhere’. As a young, healthy husband and father, this health crisis came as a complete surprise and his world shifted dramatically.
What was also a surprise at that time, was the level of peace and comfort Kevin felt while in the hospital and since that time as he has been in recovery.
He, together with his wife Leanna, join us to share the vital things they have learned about the importance of taking our health care seriously and also about the supernatural blessing and strength one can only find in Jesus Christ.
Today, they are grateful to God for the wonderful medical care Kevin received at the time and since suffering his stroke. And, they are grateful to God for His sustaining love and powerful presence and peace through it all.

Joshua Ali
International Gospel Recording Artist
Producer
Joshua Ali is an international Gospel recording artist, producer, and musical ambassador from Trinidad and Tobago, now residing in Canada where he serves as a worship pastor in Ontario. Raised in the church and musically trained from a young age, he was mentored by legendary engineers Martin Raymond and Dextor Simmons— whose credits include work with Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Beyoncé. Since launching his performance career in 2015, Ali has pioneered a unique genre he calls “alternative Gospel,” blending Caribbean soca with contemporary and traditional Gospel sounds. His debut album Over Dey – Where Home Is delivered standout hits like “Blanket” and “Over Dey,” earning him recognition throughout the Gospel music community. Ali’s life is a living testimony of God’s power—he and his three siblings are all miracle babies, a story that continues to inspire those struggling to believe that God is real. His journey of faith became even more personal when he and his wife Ashley welcomed their son, Israel Ali—a miracle baby and a constant reminder of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Israel’s life has strengthened their testimony, showing that even through seasons of loss and difficulty, God restores and brings forth joy. His work has earned him numerous accolades, including five Marlin Awards—with his first win in 2017, and four more in 2025 where he emerged as one of the top awardees in the entire Caribbean. He has also received 14 recent Marlin Award nominations and 19 nominations at the Atlanta Music Awards. In 2021, he became a voting member of the Grammy Recording Academy. His song “On My Way” was selected for Grammy consideration, and his production on Kay Morris’ “Abba Oh” was also recognized by the Academy. Beyond the achievements, Joshua is a devoted husband to Ashley Ali and proud father to Israel—their greatest joy and motivation. At the heart of his calling is a clear and urgent message: Jesus is coming soon. Through every song and every platform, Joshua Ali is committed to proclaiming hope, truth, and the soon return of the King.
