Staff brings a blend of denominational, international, entrepreneurial and administrative experiences

We look for individuals who bring the twin strengths of experience and energy. This is a do something ministry - that's the energy. Doing something well comes from the experience of adaptable and teachable people. It is our commitment to find ministry oriented workers who take ownership of the opportunity to help missions and church planting. Most of the staff is part time. In the past two years over a hundred people have helped carry the flag under the key leadership of Gary Carter.

Rev. Gary Carter

Rev. Gary Carter is the the founder of Kainos Enterprises in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Mr. Carter also serves as Canadian Church Planting Facilitator for World Team Canada.

Gary has a varied background in pastoring, church planting and the blending of various ministry and business endeavours. As a missions graduate a generation ago he has always promoted the worldwide missionary cause. In particular, Gary’s passion is for church planting in Canada. 

Over the past two decades, along with his family, Gary has been involved in four church plants in urban centres in Ontario.

Gary is co-author, along with Dr. Timothy Starr, of How to Reproduce Your Church. He is also the writer of Successful Church Building Programs. His most recent book, Hot Brass Tacks is designed as a hand out for personal evangelism.

In recent years, Gary has been the major writer of the Church Creation ToolBox which is an enhanced version of The Ministry ToolBox, an extensive software program that includes strategic planning, surveying and program planning tools for local churches. Church Growth Resources Inc. of Cambridge Ontario is the developer of The ToolBox, which is distributed widely across North America. As the originator of the systematic program for personal contacting as exhibited in "The Titus Plan," Gary has been the inspirational leader behind the development of the book "The Titus Plan." This resource documents the philosophy and the steps to practical fulfillment for anyone raising personal support from donations.

Gary’s wife Wendy serves as Office Coordinator for World Team Canada. The Carter’s have four children and take great fulfilment from the fact that all are involved in ministry and missionary work in many places.

"The work of Kainos Ministries is to assist Christian missions and denominations in sending more missionaries to the field and to plant more churches in North America and around the world.", says Carter.

"We believe that one of the traditional brick walls for missions and church planting has been funding the missionary or church planter.  Many are willing and available to go - they just do not know how to get their support raised.  At Kainos, we will use the tried and true methods of communication to raise support on behalf of the candidate.  We will work with mission agencies and denominations to enable workers to get to the field.", Carter continued.

Long a passionate supporter of both missions and church planting, Carter and the team at Kainos have developed and tested strategies to raise more support sooner.  Kainos Ministries will work with individuals needing to raise support but who do not yet have a mission/denominational home and then link them to appropriate ministry connections.  Kainos will also assist individuals who are serving under a denomination or mission but who need help raising the necessary support.

"As Christians, we believe that everyone has been gifted in different ways.  Not many potential church planters or missionaries have the gifts to raise their support.  Even fewer have an opportunity to be trained on how to effectively reach out for support.  The role of Kainos is to enable those raising their own support and to raise support for those who need help.  Let the missionary or church planter concentrate on their spiritual and practical preparation for their ministry.  Kainos can do what it is good at doing so that those willing to go to the field can concentrate on getting there."

Kainos invites interested missions, denominations and individuals to contact Rev. Carter for more information.
