Power to Change

What Power to Change does

Power to Change Ministries is a privately held, registered Canadian charity (Business Number 118827849RR0001) and evangelical Christian non-profit organization founded in 1967 as Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada, rebranded in the late 1990s, and headquartered at 30439 Great Northern Ave, Abbotsford, British Columbia. The organization operates as a unified family of nine wholly-owned subsidiary ministries - Athletes in Action, Christian Embassy, Connecting Streams, Digital Strategies, Drime, FamilyLife, LeaderImpact, P2C Students, and the Global Aid Network (GAiN) humanitarian partner - each targeting a distinct demographic or programmatic segment such as university students, athletes, families, business leaders, diplomats, marginalized populations, online spiritual seekers, and disaster relief / clean-water beneficiaries. It is led by President Darren Young with an Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors (Chairman Don Van Meer), and employs approximately 259 staff across Canadian offices in Abbotsford, Langley, Guelph, and Ottawa, with international reach through mission trips and GAiN humanitarian programming.

Power to Change's core operations are built around an online donation platform accepting one-time and recurring gifts in CAD and USD via credit card, bank transfer, and PayPal, supplemented by stock donations, mail donations, and an estate-giving partnership with Advisors with Purpose, with central administrative fees of 13% on ministry-designated gifts and 14% on staff-designated gifts. Programmatic delivery is enabled by a digital content and mentoring stack including the TMM.io online mentoring platform, the Issues I Face Strategy for anonymous online evangelism, and the Spiritual Journey Framework (Unaware, Curious, Follower, Guide) for tracking discipleship progression. The organization markets through a P2C Connect email newsletter, mission trips (Vietnam, Germany, Thailand, Edmonton, Filter of Hope water missions), per-ministry websites, and direct donor outreach supported by a Partner Care contact center (1-855-722-4483).

Its business model is entirely donor-funded through individual recurring or one-time donations, organizational donations from churches, businesses, and foundations, planned/estate giving, and stock gifts; it is audited annually by KPMG, accredited by the Canadian Council of Christian Charities (CCCC), and offers U.S. tax-deductible receipts through affiliate Power to Change International (501(c)(3)). FY2026 impact reporting cited 455,390 people engaged with the Gospel, 31,043 conversions, and 28,273 Christians living on mission, while GAiN reported 197 deep-capped wells drilled, 197,000 people with safe water access, 15,628 trained in hygiene/sanitation, and 10,920 women empowered through micro-loans, plus $210,000 of Ukraine relief aid.
