Ernest Angley Ministries Canada (Business Registration Number: 119231611RR0001) is a Canadian nonprofit organization associated with the U.S.-based Ernest Angley Ministries, founded by evangelist Ernest Angley (1921–2021). Registered with the Canada Revenue Agency, the organization focuses on evangelism through television programming, printed religious materials, and international missionary support[1][3].

Activities

The ministry distributes Bibles, spiritual literature, and educational materials globally through partnerships with international Bible societies and local churches[4]. Its efforts include funding Bible production in local languages and supporting missionaries, chaplains, and evangelists in Africa, Asia, South America, and parts of North America[4][3]. Domestically, it participates in outreach initiatives such as prison ministries and community evangelism[3].

Leadership

Following Ernest Angley’s death in 2021, U.S. ministers Chris Machamer and Steve Millar assumed leadership roles, continuing international mission work and media outreach[3]. The Canadian branch operates independently but collaborates closely with the U.S. ministry on shared objectives, including media production and resource distribution[1][3].

Controversies

While the Canadian entity is not directly implicated, the U.S. ministry faced legal challenges related to labor practices at its church-owned restaurant, Cathedral Buffet, including a 2017 federal court order to pay $388,000 in back wages and damages for unpaid labor[5]. A 1999 murder at the restaurant, resulting in a wrongful death settlement, also drew scrutiny to the broader ministry’s operations[5].

The Canadian organization remains focused on evangelism, emphasizing faith healing, spiritual renewal, and global missionary work[1][3].
