WHAT IS WINTER EMPOWERMENT WEEKEND?

At the Winter Empowerment Weekend (WEW), students from public campuses across Ontario gather for a four-day weekend of student empowerment for public campus ministries, creating life-long friendships that can truly be life-changing. The weekend features empowering resource kits, inspired preaching, practical workshops, scripture-based illustrations, walk-in prayer stations, powerful testimonies, uplifting praise & worship, dynamic social engagement, sportive campsite activities, and, of course, the beautiful open-nature. By the end of the weekend, students not only step closer to Christ, but also leave with a renewed commitment to serving God with everything they have on their public campuses. Our mission of empowering students to reach the campus and change the world is realized through this weekend event (amongst other province-wide initiatives).

Pastor Sarah Oliveira

Young Adult, Youth, and Family Life Pastor

Sarah Oliveira was born and raised in Toronto to Portuguese parents and is the oldest of four children. Dissatisfied after working a year in retail, she relocated to Canadian University College in Lacombe, Alberta and earned a degree in Behavioral Science. There, she was active in Campus & Prison Ministries, preaching her first evangelistic series in El Salvador.

After graduation, Sarah served on the pastoral team at College Heights SDA and took Theology students to preach evangelistic series in Cuba before transferring over to working with students at College Heights Christian School. When the opportunity arose, Sarah attended the SDA Theological Seminary at Andrews University. There, she served as President of the Women’s Clergy Network and Coordinator for the Adventist Conference on Family Research & Practice, sponsored by the GC and NAD. Then she gladly served as Worship Pastor for the Grace Place in South Bend, Indiana.

She enjoys water sports, trampolines, books & sleeping under the stars with the loves of her life. Her sons, Raheem & Emoni, ages 4 and 7 get to enjoy the same as they spend their school years in Arizona. God has placed a burden on her heart to walk alongside other’s often challenging life journeys and help cultivate a truthful picture of God. She wants her legacy to be remembered as an authentic ambassador for the King of kings. And at the end of her journey when all is said and done, the words she MOST LONGS TO HEAR are “Well done good & faithful servant; welcome home princess.”
