From Hamilton's Streets to the Nations: What 12 Years of Saying Yes Has Built
How a weekly street outreach in Hamilton grew into Love on The World in 12 cities, Jesus Festival and SIX33 — and how you can partner with Daniel and Katie Ziedins through e3 Canada.
In 2014, a handful of believers walked onto the streets of Hamilton, Ontario with food, coffee and the name of Jesus. Nobody wrote a press release. It was one night, on one street, in one city.
Twelve years later, that same yes has become weekly outreach in twelve cities, a city-wide festival, a training partnership with e3 Canada, and a brand being built to carry the Kingdom into culture. This is that story — and an invitation to be part of the next chapter.
Quick answers
- What is Love on The World?
- Love on The World is a Christian movement founded in Hamilton, Ontario in 2014 that helps ordinary believers share the Gospel, meet practical needs, make disciples and multiply weekly outreach groups. It reports groups meeting weekly in 12 cities, and anyone can apply to begin a "Love on [City]" outreach where they live.
- What happened at Jesus Festival 2026?
- Jesus Festival Hamilton took place on September 4–5, 2026 at Gage Park and drew a record turnout. Early reports shared by the festival include 70+ people giving their lives to Jesus, 50+ baptisms and more than 3,000 free hot dogs and drinks served. It was also the first Jesus Festival Niagara. Dates for 2027 have not been announced.
- What is SIX33?
- SIX33 is a Christian lifestyle and performance culture brand built on Matthew 6:33 — "seek first the kingdom of God." It is being built as limited apparel drops, athletes, creators, events and stories, with a heart to raise funds for Love on The World's street outreach. It has not announced a launch date; joining the Inner Circle at SIX33.World is the way to be early.
- How can I support Daniel and Katie Ziedins?
- Pray for them, follow their ministry at KD-Ziedins.com, and give once or monthly through their e3 Canada staff page at e3ministry.ca/staff/katie-daniel-ziedins. Their current mission is to help establish 100 multiplying outreach groups around the world.
Do not despise the day of small things
When the people of Israel stood over a half-built temple feeling foolish, God asked them a question that has encouraged every small beginning since: "Who dares despise the day of small things?" (Zechariah 4:10).
Love on Hamilton was a small thing. As Daniel and Katie Ziedins tell it on KD-Ziedins.com, it began in 2014 as weekly street evangelism and practical care for the city's homeless community — sharing the Gospel with everyone they met. They describe salvations, healings, chains of addiction broken and baptisms becoming regular testimonies on those streets.
Jesus said the Kingdom is like a mustard seed — "the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants" (Matthew 13:32). That is not a metaphor about ambition. It is a promise about what God does with faithfulness.
From one city to twelve: Love on The World
Jesus gave His followers a pattern for expansion: "you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). Start where you are. Then keep going.
That is exactly what happened next. The Hamilton outreach grew into Love on The World — a movement that, by its own description, helps ordinary believers share the Gospel, meet practical needs, make disciples and multiply weekly outreach groups. Today it reports groups meeting weekly in 12 cities for street outreach, prayer and practical compassion.
The part worth noticing is who leads them. Not professionals — ordinary believers. Love on The World says newcomers need no experience beforehand, and that anyone can begin a "Love on [City]" outreach where they live. Its evangelism field guide, prayer-walk builder, seven-day new-believer journey and prayer points for the nations are free and need no account.
This is the Oikos Map idea at city scale: the people God has placed around you, reached by people who simply decided to go.
A city gathered around one name: Jesus Festival
Some things are too big for a street corner. Each year Jesus Festival gathers Hamilton at Gage Park for a free, family-friendly weekend of worship, testimonies, prayer and practical love — no ticket required.
Jesus Festival 2026 took place on September 4–5 and, in the festival's own words, drew a record turnout. Early reports it has shared include 70+ people giving their lives to Jesus, 50+ baptisms, more than 3,000 free hot dogs and drinks served, and many healings and deliverances, with altar calls on both Friday and Saturday. 2026 was also the first Jesus Festival Niagara, where the city lit Niagara Falls yellow in recognition of it.
Numbers are not the point — every one of those seventy is a name, a family, an oikos. But they are a glimpse of what Jesus meant when He said the harvest is plentiful (Matthew 9:37).
Equipping the Church: e3 Canada
A festival is a moment. Lasting fruit needs churches and disciple-makers who keep going on Monday.
That is why Daniel and Katie serve with e3 Canada, which they describe as equipping believers to evangelise and establish multiplying, life-changing churches. Alongside it, they launched Overflow in 2022 — a Sunday evening gathering where, in their words, the Holy Spirit was given full permission to move.
Their current call is the most ambitious yet: to help establish 100 multiplying outreach groups around the world — ordinary believers, equipped and sent to bring the Gospel and practical love into their own communities.
Into culture: SIX33
Jesus did not call His people to hide in a corner. "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14). Culture is part of everyone's oikos — the clothes, the stories, the athletes and the creators people look to.
That is the heart behind SIX33, a Christian lifestyle and performance culture brand built on Matthew 6:33: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." It is being built as limited apparel drops, athletes and creators, events and stories — and, by its own description, a big part of its heart is raising funds for Love on The World's street-level outreach.
SIX33 is coming soon. It has deliberately announced no launch date, and the way to be first in is to join its Inner Circle list at SIX33.World.
What one yes became
Put the pieces side by side and you see one thread running through all of it:
- 2014 — Love on Hamilton begins on the streets of one city.
- Love on The World — the same work multiplied to weekly outreach in 12 cities.
- Overflow (2022) — a gathering for the Spirit to move.
- e3 Canada — equipping believers and planting multiplying churches.
- Jesus Festival — a city gathered, with early reports of 70+ salvations and 50+ baptisms in 2026.
- SIX33 — carrying the Kingdom into culture, coming soon.
- Next — 100 multiplying outreach groups around the world.
None of it started big. All of it started with someone willing to go, someone willing to pray, and someone willing to send.
Your part in the next chapter
Scripture is clear that this is not a spectator mission. "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them" (Hebrews 6:10). The ones who send share in the fruit of the ones who go.
Here is how to stand in it:
- Partner with Daniel and Katie. Give once or monthly through their e3 Canada staff page, and follow the story at KD-Ziedins.com.
- Join or start an outreach group through Love on The World — you could be one of the hundred.
- Be there next time — follow Jesus Festival for 2027 (dates not yet announced) and bring someone from your map.
- Get early access to SIX33 by joining the Inner Circle at SIX33.World.
- Start with your own oikos. Map the people around you and pray for them by name. Every movement above began exactly there.
Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?
Zechariah 4:10
