Our Clientele

Working with Darren Roorda was a genuine blessing for our church council. We were extremely pleased with his leadership and expertise during a time of great challenge for our congregation.

Fine work on our Development Strategy.

You took some time to provide your considerate expertise and we are grateful.

 I am encouraged by the results of the Strategic/ Operational Planning process you have taken us through, and the acceptance from the Board. I feel positive about the days ahead because I have more concrete guidance and direction in my role as ED. Thank you for all you have done to speak into the life of this ministry and how you have shepherded us along in a gracious way. May God bless all your future efforts.

 Darren Roorda is a friend and colleague I met while serving on the governing board of the Canadian Council of Churches.  He is an ironman, a gifted leader, and an advocate and champion for local churches through a different lens (Shepherd Consulting).  He is to be trusted and will be helpful to local churches who need assistance with governance, strategic planning, and leader search among other organizational needs.

After 12 years of operating as a non-profit and being told by multiple lawyers that we can’t be charitable, Darren was the first person to tell me it’s possible. He has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom which he has applied to help us reach our goals. His professionalism and efficiency have been much appreciated throughout the process. Darren has helped me understand a lot of the confusing jargon around charitable status and he has eased my mind regarding the hoops that we need to jump through for our unique situation. I would highly recommend his services if you are overwhelmed or feeling defeated like I was. He has made the entire process less intimidating and brought a lot of peace to my mind. Because of his help, I believe my ministry will flourish for many years to come. 

Sydney Pauls, Founder and Director 

For months, when my team had the challenge of laying the foundation for the seemingly impossible task of building a home, a sanctuary, a hope, a future, and a life for children on the street, we had the blessing of working with Darren and throughout, at least several hours a week, at least three weeks a month, his pastoral leadership characterized by patience, gentleness and wisdom, his Spirit-led organizational and governance insight and experience breathed life in the team's tireless efforts, and now the organization will forever view his work as the unbreakable 3-bundle stick that could stand against many challenges.
