As Bene D has pointed out in the past, Faytene Kryskow seems to like to have multiple identities for the work that she does.
I think I have seen one more, tipped off by Faytene herself.
At the recent Canada Awake conference in Toronto, according to this video of the first speaker, you can hear Faytene’s pastor Bill Prankard prepare to take an offering. Who should cheques be made out to, he asks at 33.51.
Faytene then says:
“This conference is being administered by CMI, which is the revival arm, the Holy Ghost revival arm, of everything we’re going to be doing in Canada. Got a few different arms…”
A quick Google search reveals that, according to WhoIs, someone named Faytene Kryskow owns the site and the domain name for a Campus Ministries International. (Which abbreviates to CMI)
If you look at campusministriesinternational. com, under the Who we are page, it currently reads, as I write, like this:
“For almost 3 decades CMI has been mentoring emerging leaders in the reality of a living and loving God. On campuses, in churches and through seminars, missions trips and conferences all across Canada ambassators of the reality of Jesus Christ have been in action through CMI’s workers. In past years CMI has established centres in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and hosted mission trips in various third world nations. On these trips young leaders have had the joy of seeing the love of God in action in compassionate and tangible ways. He is living, loving and He is alive.
CMI is currently in a transitional stage and looking forward with great anticipation to a new season of effective work in Canada under new leadership. Stay tuned for new developments as they unfold.”
The website also, perhaps notes a new motto for “CMI”, which may “Mentoring A Generation In The Reality Of A Living and Loving God. …” which lends itself to an explicitly charsimatic theology, where the old “what we do” note still on the …com site seems conservative and evangelical.
Needless to say the current campusministriesinternational.com pages make no mention of Faytene Kryskow, or her dominionist flourishes to her theology. So an old donor could return after a few years to the site, as it is now, and accidentally give to something that is more theocratic-minded than the old CMI was.
Let’s hope the website is updated soon, with Faytene’s views front and center.
Leaving the site as it is, if Faytene indeed has staged a coup d’etat and taken over the remnants of the old and different Campus Ministries International, would be naughty. Let’s hope she is not tempted.
What is wrong with “Mentoring A Generation In The Reality Of A Living and Loving God?” If you have become so immersed in your Theology that you have somehow found yourself at odds with this, I hope you would stop and take inventory of yourself. To label it “charasmatic” is just irresponsible and divisive. It should be the goal of every Christian sow their lives to accomplish this mission. Jesus didn’t say “make converts”, he said “make disciples”. The above is a discipleship statement. Studies in theology should further illuminate the “reality of a living and loving God”.
As Renfield would say “All those gods are dead. Don’t you have one that’s alive and keeking?”
Yes, “living God” does sound like something a Pentecostal would say, but plenty of mundane evangelicals will use it, too. Count me as an amen for RD’s comment.
Sounds like a line Preston Manning’s people would drum up.
Has Lou Engle used it?
There is nothing wrong with the line or the idea, it depends on who uses it.
“CMI is a Canadian charity and financially functions solely with the generous help of Canadian donors.”
I’ll check internet archives and Rev Can.
Ottawa is part of the 613 area code. CMI – 613-422-4279
rd,
“Jesus didn’t say “make converts”, he said “make disciples”. ”
talk is cheap. lu 14:26 and the gospel accounts of the rich man tell us it costs all we have. and, discipleship requires counting the [extreme] cost, which is why it is not “kid stuff”–do not dump on kids the guilt trip to go witnessing.
anyway, how many “christians” do you know who are disciples?
peter said, “we left all …”; jesus promised, “you’ll get 100x of it, w/suffering, now and in the next ages. they left their jobs and families to follow jesus. leave a career/income and see what your wife does. (i wonder what the divorce rate of disciples is.)
CMI founded in 1981.
In the 2008 tax return the office address is listed as 346 Selene Way, Ottawa K4A 0G6
Last phone number listed: 604-737-7455
The last listed board of directors: Calvin Weber, Ernie Culley, Charvine Adl, Isabel Acosta, Jon Boyd
They pulled in about 137 thousand in gifts
Active operation: SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITH UNIVERSITY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH SMALL-GROUP BIBLE STUDIES, LARGER STUDENT GATHERINGS, MULTI-MEDIA PRESENTATIONS, AND STUDENT SURVEYS
There is a Calvin Weber listed as Pastor at Prairie Mennonite Church (2004) in Raymond Alberta
Ernie Culley is shown in a Google doc appearing on a show called Eternally Yours with Audrey Mabley out of Burnaby BC and as Senior pastor of Life Center Community Church Vancouver, BC, Canada
There are a couple of Charvine Adls, one is a CFO in Vancouver
There is a Jon Boyd, a Lecturer Social Work at Renison College Waterloo U
Ms. Kryskow owns 25 domains and registered this one in January for a year.
I’ll contact 2008 board members and see what the charity was about and who is was affiliated with. I can also contact Rev Can and see if the records of transfer are available.
Rick and everyone who’d like to help: Have a look at this article about Marantha, Every Nations. Waterloo U and a rename of the Texas group called Christian Ministries International Inc. is mentioned.

I’ve found a Cal Weber and Jon Boyd at Westpointe Christian Centre Vancouver
http://www.westpointe.ca/
Seems a sensible place to start.
They have run a UBC campus ministry since 1981 (same year CMI started) called Ambassadors for Jesus.

RD–
It’s not that I *object* to the motto, it’s that I think the phrasing lends itself to “making God seem more real through signs and wonders, works of the Spirit, etc.” This is not a bad thing, but I am merely looking at how the “new and improved CMI” may market itself. Had the old CMI been non-charismatic, say, and had a motto like “Sharing the truths of God’s word to students worldwide”, the new motto would show a change in emphasis. Not a *bad* change, necessarily, but a sign of new ownership.
Given that , IIRC, Ernie Culley was a pastor at Glad Tidings, Vancouver’s biggest Pentecostal church, perhaps we can now guess that CMI was always charismatic and they had no big issue with selling/giving their assets to Faytene, who is charismatic-plus.
A “oh we’re merely charismatic” when you should be saying “we’re dominioinist theocrats” could be worrisome too.
Faytene denied any affiliation with Pat King and XP, yet there she was years before she said that on youtube with Pat blathering on about blue fire etc.
The emerging church/renewal sound so good but the author of the koran [the non-pagarized portions ie the Torah] is the same spirit which also drives Hinduism, Sikhism etc. Humans can not understand spiritual entities. This is why God gave us the real bible to discern with, which is also the Holy Spirit and the Son of God. Jesus is the Word. The Holy Spirit is also the word. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Eph 6:17 And take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
——
There are many more ie Revelation, John 6:33 but we have to examine these New “Apostles” by scripture [lol - how pretentious and also impossible as an apostle was a person taught by Christ personally ie Paul. Apostles were foundational to the primitive church and were unique which is why there are only 12 [also only 12 tribes] inscribed in the foundation stones of the Bride: Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ”
————-
All other “apostles” are FRAUDS! Dominionism [and Roman Catholicism] teaches apostolic succession which is a lie ~ but only according to the Word.
In Armageddon Factor mentions Faytene Kryskow is of a Ukrainian Catholic background.
But Bene D mentioned that Faytene Kryskow mentioned in a book she’d written that she’s related to Louis Riel.
In other words, Faytene Kryskow is saying she is Metis.
It seems so obvious to me from reading Bene D, Armageddon Factor and by going to Google typing “Faytene Kryskow” that she’s New Apostolic Revolution.
But she seems to imply to be an Evangelical Charismatic Christian.
Ukrainian Catholic vs Metis
New Apostolic Revolutions vs Evangelical Charismatic Christian
I’ve seen her on Extreme Prophetic with Carol King
The internet says one thing and Faytene Kryskow says another
She sure blasted me on Bene D over my note taking at The Cry Lumbermens’ Arch Stanley Park
My notes were correct and they’d made some mistakes probably due to so much info they were giving out. This can sometimes happen on Ch11 News or CBC Radio News on 690am.
Faytene Kryskow’s style corrected all the mistakes but claimed this is what was said and my note taking was wrong.
Then she threw in the comment to me,
“What God do you worship?”
There is something about that kind of the above wording that seems different and inappropriate.
She can figure that one out on her own.
She sees me through her own lenses
The bible says, ‘know them by their fruits’
In 2004 at Cordial Hall I go a good tasts of Faytene Kryskow’s style and dynamics
This is where she had an Exteme Prophetic Vancouver Venue event
The building located on Pender & Templeton in Vancouver is owned by Killarney Community Centre which is one of the Charities supporting Planet Bingo where I’ve worked since 1992. PB is under the Gaming Commission and employees must have a criminal record check before being hired.
So, I have no criminal record, am honest, deal with a lot of money.
We used to run the Cordial Bingo out of there is no longer running.
The building was originally one of the many former Ballroom Dance Halls in Vancouver
I’m on a sidewalk that is public property
My name is John Payzant
Faytene Kryskow says for no reason, “John Paysar I don’t like you, you’re standing on private property we own the building, go or we’ll phone the Police, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus”
Phone the Police for what?
What does the bible say as how to deal with situations?
Talk to the person and or take another person with you
My Priest said about the statement ‘I rebuke you in the name of Jesus’ “The person does not like you and is trying to have a religious justification to it”
What does the bible say about that?
Love the Lord your God with all you heart, soul and mind and Love thy neighbor as yourself
Faytene Kryskow claims on her replies on Bene Diction Blogs on that ‘She does not remember such and incident due to the face I’m so busy and -have no time for trivial skirmishes’
I was a victim of slander and possibly mistaken identity is how this escalated.
2004 been to a Worship Invasion venue at University Chapel Moderated by Ed & Wendy Rubuliak, then Fresh Fire Todd Bentley venue at Abbotsford Pentecostal Assembly to another Worship Invasion at Peace Portal Alliance in Surrey.
In Surrey a WI person slandered me saying, “Do you know you are never allowed to go to a Fresh Fire Conference again because you prayed over a woman and took the ring off of her finger?”
The place went beserk and they told Faytene Kryskow and she believed them.
I did no such thing and the whole accusation sounds bizarre.
They could’ve made this up because I look at things close and are afraid of being found out to be New Apostolic Revolution.
All these places had the same kind of differerent atmosphere
Tyler Wright on Worship Invasion’s Face Book or My Space said to me about my comment I made on their page and my comment was nice.
“You’ve been told you’re not welcome at Worship Invasion if you come we’ll phone the Police”
My friend said, “That doesn’t sound like a Christian attitude”
Tyler Wright 35 is the recently missing hiker
Cordial Hall rented out to Salvation Army War College under Jonathan Evans who Bene feels is NAR who let Faytene use the place.
These NARs seem all connected and tightly knit
Note of correction… incorrect domain name in the article: campusministriesindustries.com
604-737-7455 is listed as belonging to Westpointe, which is one organization Faytene ministered with while in Vancouver.
Thanks Tim, will fix it…
