We are looking for committed individuals who share our desire to reach this generation with hope. If you would like to apply to become a LifeNet Ambassador in your area, please complete the fillable application and submit it to us for review at info@lifenet4hope.com.
The mandate of LifeNet Ministries Inc. is to share hope with this generation of young people. Their challenges today are unprecedented. With suicide being the second leading cause of death in this age group, something must be done.
One arm of our strategy for effective outreach, is our highly valued team of LMI Ambassadors who help promote the work of LifeNet by acting as liaisons between the community and LMI leadership. They serve as a network of agents of hope, spread out throughout the land sharing information on our work of caring for youth.
Many in the general public are unaware of the crisis faced by this generation. They need clarity on the challenges faced and the effects of this culture on the mental health of our kids. Our LifeNet resources provide answers but we need our Ambassadors to give voice to our response. Once awakened to the need, people will find they can shine the light of hope wherever they are and encourage young lives.
The function of LNM Ambassadors is individual, depending on giftings, but can include:
- Sharing brochures or print information
- Sharing the LMI promotional videos
- Contacting individuals and/or groups for fundraising
- Fundraising
- Praying for the ministry
- Generally functioning as goodwill ambassadors for LMI
In keeping with the policies and procedures for LifeNet volunteers, opportunities to be alone with a vulnerable person or meeting one on one with minors when representing LifeNet Ministries is to be avoided. Our function is to link individuals with information and resources; not to give counsel or provide individual mentoring. That will be done through our call centre.
As an Ambassador, you will be equipped with business cards including your contact info to assist in your efforts with individuals, foundations and groups. Each Ambassador Toolbox will include:
- Sharing information in small group gatherings
- LifeNet USB sticks containing the LifeNet promotional video
- Envelopes to handout containing brochures, donor cards, return envelopes and the latest newsletter
- The Predator-Proof Your Family series of booklets (as most suicidal teens have been abused in some way)
- A supply of wristbands that can be given to teens
- A supply of LifeNet pens for distribution to potential donors
Prior to being approved as an Ambassador, you will be required to complete a vetting document for insurance purposes.
All questions and communication can be directed eventually to the Executive LMI Ambassador Team Director,
- Cheryl Rutledge - Ambassador Executive Coordinador

Organize a LifeNet Sharing Hope Concert
Invite your friends, neighbours & family – & produce a Lifenet Sharing Hope Concert
LifeNet Sharing Hope Concerts are a charitable, fundraising initiative dedicated to giving young people opportunities to display their skills and talents and, at the same time, support LifeNet Ministries Inc. in its efforts to help at-risk youth.
A special note to all music and arts instructors: Please consider turning your recitals, demonstrations and shows into LifeNet Sharing Hope events, giving your students the opportunity to help others through the talents you’ve helped them refine.

Millions of North American parents spend thousands of dollars each year on music, dance and other talent lessons for their kids. Week after week, the kids are driven to teachers and spend hours practicing flutes, horns or keyboards; or developing grace at a ballet barre or some other form of physical activity. Some sing, take acting lessons or learn the art of public speaking
For what?
For most, all those hours devoted to skill-training evaporate into memories of unused talents. Many never have the opportunity to perform or let their talents bear fruit. All those lesson dollars evaporate with the memories.
Meanwhile, a pandemic of despondency, hopelessness, fear and depression among young people around the world has led to suicide as the second most common cause of death for kids between the ages of 8-17.
We need to think outside the box to find creative ways to reach out and raise resources to meet great needs.
The purpose of LifeNet Sharing Hope Concerts is to give talented or trained kids – or motivated adults – the opportunity to show what they can do and, at the same time, use their gifts to raise funds to help others who are struggling with social, spiritual and mental health issues.
Pray
What is prayer?
Prayer is a supernatural method of communication between us and our Creator. Prayer is not meditation or passive reflection; it is direct conversation with God.

While all kinds of people have all kinds of thoughts on all kinds of things, it always helps to go to the source or to the manufacturer’s handbook for correct understanding.
The disciples asked Jesus how to pray and He responded with what we have come to know as “The Lord’s Prayer.” Prayer is really very simple – it’s conversation with a loving heavenly Father who invites us to share our thoughts and concerns with Him.
The most powerful thing we can do for young people today is pray for them – that difficult circumstances will be straightened out, that their homes will be filled with peace, that their anxiety will dissolve, that they will have understanding of the days we are in, that physical difficulties will be healed and that hope will be restored in their hearts. The disciples asked Jesus how to pray and He responded with what we have come to know as “The Lord’s Prayer.” Prayer is really very simple – it’s conversation with a loving heavenly Father who invites us to share our thoughts and concerns with Him.
