Artur Pawlowski is a Canadian pastor who was born in Poland and grew up under a Communist regime.  In 1995, he immigrated to Canada where he reconnected with his now wife Marzena who introduced him to Christianity and set him on a path to a new life.  

In 2000, his first son Nathaniel was still born with a smashed lung and his heart on the opposite side. Through the doctors’ efforts the child was revived, but the diagnoses was that his son would not survive. Artur and Marzena refused to unplugging Nathaniel from life support. The surgeon opened his tiny body in an effort to save him, but his lungs were deemed irreparable and his heart inoperable. Artur and his wife did what they could: pray. For the first time in his life, he dropped to his knees. He pleaded with God to heal his son. A few days later, the little boy defied all odds and was totally healed. This incident was best told by the doctors themselves. They called his son ‘star baby’ because he was like a baby that came from the stars.” These incidents changed Artur, and lead him to make a commitment to stop living just for himself and start living for God.

He began charity work with the homeless on the streets of Calgary which took him from a small unknown ministry to an organization that was operating from seven locations in Calgary, producing a T.V show that broadcasts to 120 million satellite dishes, distributing hundreds of thousands of meals per year, and starting similar ministries in several different countries. He became instrumental in reinstating the March for Jesus in different countries including Canada. Through the years he managed to form a number of policies that were implemented by the government to improve the lives of the poor in Canada.
