The Fruit So Far: 12 Cities, 50+ Baptisms and a Brand Built to Seek First

An impact report on Love on The World, Jesus Festival and the coming launch of SIX33 — what God has done since one Hamilton street in 2014, and why we're asking you to partner with us through e3 Canada

The short answer

Since Daniel and Katie Ziedins started Love on Hamilton in 2014, the work has grown into Love on The World, a movement with active weekly outreach groups across 12 cities and prayer for 36 nations; Jesus Festival Hamilton, a free festival at Gage Park that gathered more than 10,000 people across 2024 and 2025 and, in early 2026 reports, saw 70+ people give their lives to Jesus and 50+ baptisms; and SIX33 (six33.world), a Matthew 6:33 lifestyle and performance brand, not yet launched, whose heart includes raising funds for Love on The World. Daniel and Katie serve on staff with e3 Ministry Canada, and people can partner with them through their e3 staff page.

Yesterday I wrote you an invitation: partner with Katie and me through e3 Ministry Canada to plunder hell and populate heaven. Today I want to show you the fruit. Not hype — numbers the ministries have published, testimonies people spoke out loud, and photos from the field.

"This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." — John 15:8

Jesus said the Father is glorified by fruit. So here is the fruit so far — every bit of it His.

"From one Hamilton street in 2014 to outreach groups in 12 cities, prayer for 36 nations, 10,000+ people at Jesus Festival across 2024–25 and 70+ salvations with 50+ baptisms in 2026 — and SIX33 is coming to carry the message into culture. Partners through e3 Canada fuel all of it."

The Impact at a Glance

  • 2014 — Katie and I start Love on Hamilton: weekly street evangelism and practical care on Hamilton's streets.
  • 12 cities — active Love on The World outreach groups in Hamilton, Waterloo Region, Brampton, Moncton, Grimsby, St. Catharines, Burlington, Hagersville, Guelph, Simcoe, Brantford and Niagara.
  • 36 nations — covered in prayer through Love on The World.
  • 10,000+ people — gathered at Jesus Festival Hamilton in Gage Park across 2024 and 2025, with more than 6,000 free hot dogs served.
  • 70+ salvations and 50+ baptisms — early reports from Jesus Festival Hamilton 2026, alongside more than 3,000 free hot dogs and drinks.
  • A first for Niagara — 2026 brought the first Jesus Festival Niagara, and the City lit Niagara Falls yellow in recognition of the festival.

Every one of those numbers is a person, a family, a street. Let me tell you what's behind them.

Love on The World: Disciples Who Make Disciples

Love on The World began as Love on Hamilton and was established as a wider movement between 2020 and 2022. Its mission is simple and enormous: a global movement fulfilling the Great Commission — making disciples who make disciples.

It isn't a program run by professionals. It helps ordinary believers share the gospel, meet practical needs, make disciples and multiply weekly outreach groups in their own cities. That's why it has spread from one Hamilton street to twelve cities, from Moncton to Brampton — not because of a marketing budget, but because ordinary people found out they could do this.

And it gives its tools away. The evangelism field guide, the city prayer-walk builder, the seven-day new-believer journey and prayer points for the nations are all free. If you've ever wanted to reach your own city, you can start a group where you live.

This is the math of multiplication in real life. Addition fills a room once. Multiplication fills a nation over time.

Jesus Festival: A City Hears the Gospel in a Park

Jesus Festival Hamilton is a free, family-friendly Christian festival held each year at Gage Park — a weekend of worship, gospel hope, testimonies, prayer, families, churches, ministries, food and practical love for the city. No ticket. No admission. Everything free.

Across 2024 and 2025, more than 10,000 people gathered in Gage Park. On 4–5 September 2026 we were back, with altar calls on both Friday and Saturday. The early reports: more than 70 people gave their lives to Jesus, and more than 50 were baptised — in a steel tank in the middle of a city park.

Here is what people said, coming up out of that water, as the festival recorded them:

"I have no desire for my vape anymore and threw it away." "My back is healed!" "I was lost — who would have thought Jesus led me here!"

That's what plundering hell looks like. Not a debate won. A man throwing his vape away. A woman who thought she was lost finding out she was found.

It's also what love looks like when it's practical. More than 3,000 free hot dogs and drinks in 2026. Kids' stations. Benches full of families who may never walk into a church building but will walk into a park on a September weekend. Paul said he became all things to all people "so that by all possible means I might save some" (1 Corinthians 9:22). Sometimes the means is a hot dog and a bandshell.

And it's spreading. 2026 was the first Jesus Festival Niagara, and the City lit Niagara Falls yellow in recognition of it. A city festival in one park is becoming a model other cities can carry. If you want to read why we believe every city needs one, Love on The World wrote it up: why a city needs a Jesus Festival.

SIX33: Seek First. Live Different.

Now for what's coming next — and it's close to my heart.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." — Matthew 6:33

SIX33 is named for that verse. It's a lifestyle and performance brand being built into a world: limited apparel drops, athletes and creators, events, stories and real-world impact. Its heart, in its own words: to glorify God and to remind people to seek Jesus first — His Kingdom and His righteousness — while impacting culture for His Kingdom.

Why a brand? Because culture disciples people whether the church shows up or not. What people wear, watch, follow and aspire to is shaping hearts every day. Daniel served in the heart of Babylon's culture and never stopped praying (Daniel 6); Jesus called His followers the light of the world and said a city on a hill cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14). We want something in culture that points straight back to Him.

SIX33 isn't just a message on a shirt. A big part of its heart is raising funds for Love on The World's street-level outreach — so culture fuels mission. SIX33 hasn't announced a launch date (no fake countdowns), but you can join the Inner Circle at SIX33.World to be first in when the doors open.

Why e3 Canada Holds It All Together

Street outreach, a city festival, a culture brand — it can look like three different things. It isn't. It's one calling, and e3 Ministry Canada names it in three words: Equip God's people, Evangelize His world, Establish His church.

  • Equip — Love on The World trains ordinary believers to share their faith and lead outreach groups.
  • Evangelize — on the streets every week, and in front of thousands at Jesus Festival.
  • Establish — new believers baptised, followed up and connected to local churches, and groups that keep multiplying after we leave.

Katie and I serve on staff with e3 Ministry Canada, which also runs I Am Second Canada. That's how this work is supported, accountable and built to last.

What Comes Next — and Where You Come In

The vision is bigger than what you've read. We are pushing toward 100 multiplying outreach groups, more cities hosting Jesus Festival, and a SIX33 launch that funds the front lines. None of it happens without partners.

"I thank my God every time I remember you... because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." — Philippians 1:3–5

Here is how to step in:

Every number in this report started with one person who said yes. The next number starts with you. Let's plunder hell and populate heaven — together, in Jesus' name.

Key Takeaway

From one Hamilton street in 2014 to outreach groups in 12 cities, prayer for 36 nations, 10,000+ people at Jesus Festival across 2024–25 and 70+ salvations with 50+ baptisms in 2026 — and SIX33 is coming to carry the message into culture. Partners through e3 Canada fuel all of it.

Biblical Perspective

Jesus measured discipleship by fruit (John 15:8) and sent His followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). Paul modelled multiplication (2 Timothy 2:2), became all things to all people to win some (1 Corinthians 9:22), and thanked the Philippians for their partnership in the gospel from the first day (Philippians 1:5). Matthew 6:33 — seek first the kingdom — is the order that holds street outreach, a city festival and a culture brand together.

"This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."

— John 15:8 (NIV)

Pray With Us

Father, thank You for every person who has met Jesus on the streets of our cities and at Jesus Festival — for every baptism, every healing, every chain broken. Multiply Love on The World's outreach groups in every city. Raise up Jesus Festivals across this nation. Use SIX33 to point a generation to seek You first. Send partners who will pray, give and go. All the glory is Yours. In Jesus' name, amen.
