Understanding Your Invisible Enemy: Demonology According to Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha and Hollywood
FRIDAY, MARCH 1st – SATURDAY, MARCH 2nd
Location and Registration to come
On Friday evening and Saturday morning, March 1st – 2nd we will be hosting John Mahaffey, former pastor of West Highland Church in Hamilton, ON, former missionary with SEND International in the Philippines and former Chair of the Adam House Board, a special ministry to refugees in Toronto. See his full Bio below.
John will be speaking from his vast experience in working with many different religions from around the world on the topic of EVIL SPIRITS and what the biblical teaching on this subject teaches us….
The Bible is filled with references to evil spirits, witchcraft, demonic oppression/possession, and the devil. Did you know that evil spirits play a big role in Islam, Hinduism, and other faiths? Increasingly, we live in a society that either:
– disbelieves in the real, ontological existence of evil spirits;
– has radically different views than Christianity about evil spirits; or
– finds the idea of evil spirits neutral, fun or even helpful.
Our next Dig & Delve will be a blend of apologetics and missiology. We hope you will join us to discover why the Biblical view of demonology is wise, true, freeing, hopeful – and deeply needed by those in our community who are trapped or ignorant of this dangerous realm.
Plan to attend and have your knowledge of the biblical teaching on these matters sharpened and deepened. Come with your questions! Dig & Delve, March 1-2, 2024.
Featured Speaker:
John Mahaffey

John and his wife Andrea served as missionaries with SEND International in the Philippines. He led two church planting teams of Filipino and foreign missionaries in establishing three churches affiliated with the Alliance of Bible Christian Communities of the Philippines. Prior to moving to Hamilton he pastored Morningstar Christian Fellowship, Toronto, a large multicultural church with people from over 70 nations.
John is a graduate of Central Baptist Seminary and pursued further theological training at Asian Theological Seminary, Tyndale Seminary and McMaster Divinity College. He assisted Arab World Ministries in the founding of Adam House, a ministry to refugees in downtown Toronto. He also served until recently on the Board of Heritage College and Seminary. John was part of the original group of pastors who formed the National Council of The Gospel Coalition in 2005 under the leadership of D.A. Carson and Tim Keller. He is an original Council member for TGC Canada and also serves on the TGC Canada board.
John and Andrea have four adult children and two grandchildren. Two of their children are in ministry, a daughter serving with Daystar among the Ojibway people of northern Ontario, and a son serving as an assistant pastor in Toronto. In his spare time, John can be found bombing around Hamilton on his 1957 vintage Vespa scooter.
