My Mission:
To use my ministry experience and creative skills to mentor content creators and bring the light of the gospel to people that will never be reached by traditional missions. I will do this by creating entertaining content and building a network that will unite and train up a world-changing generation of Christian creators.
Welcome & Introduction:
Hi! I’m Al (known on Twitch as XtianNinja), a pastor and full-time streamer and content creator from Canada who is working hard to serve the online community by mentoring content creators and building a meaningful online family, through entertaining content, real talk, and teaching God’s truth. God is absolutely blowing my mind these days with all the things He’s doing and my heart is filled with excitement and thanksgiving every day because I get to be at the forefront of this world-changing ministry. I’m honoured that you’ve come here to learn more about it.
When I felt God’s call to drop everything and start streaming full-time, I had no idea what was in store, but I’ve been working hard for a year-and-a-half to connect with the lost, lonely, and disenfranchised around the world, mentor new Christian creators, and make the best possible content, and WOW, is God ever blessing! The last year has been an absolutely wild ride and experiencing such success has given me the encouragement to seek out more ministry partners. I know that God is just getting started and has already confirmed that a unique ministry like this one can have a deep, spiritual impact on people both locally and around the world.

One thing I’ve heard a lot is that some people are struggling to know what I actually do in online ministry – and it’s been hard to convince them to go to Twitch and see for themselves. So, here is a list of YouTube links that might help paint the picture:

What can I say about this Man XtianNinja? I met him through another friend of mine. When I first heard him and that he was a pastor and was different really got me hooked. I wanted to make sure if I was going to spend time with this pastor that he was “right on”. Not just say a bunch of things about the bible and twist it to his agenda. It was really refreshing to see him talk about the bible and each and every time he would cite a passage of the bible, I would learn more than I usually do. I am not a pastor but I am part of a pastor family, however they only speak Spanish and I am still learning the language so most of the time, I do not understand my father-in-law. When I go to XtianNinja stream it feels like he is part of my family. Over the last year, we have become friends and he is so helpful in so many areas, not just being a spiritual advisor but on how to get my streams to be better. I pick up things he does, adapt them to what I would like to do. He is really who he says he is. He has had true human fears and challenges and he has been through many in the last year. However, because of his Love of God and people who he pours his life into others that happen to pop into his stream. I can tell he really wants to help everyone he meets; it is not fake; he is authentic as they come. ~ Warrior_of_Light
