Taking a Stand Against Rising Jew Hatred in Canada | An Interview with Pastor David Larmour

Since October 7, 2023, Canada has experienced a significant surge in antisemitism, marked by a 670 percent increase in incidents compared to the previous year. This rise has included violent attacks, such as shootings targeting Jewish institutions and arson attacks targeting schools, Synagogues, and other community institutions. Despite Jewish people comprising only 1.4 percent of Canada's population, they account for 70 percent of religious hate crimes.

In this interview, Jeff talks to Pastor David Larmour about his outstanding solidarity with the Jewish community in Canada, his recent trip to Israel and his thoughts on how Christians should and can support Israel and the Jewish people in this desperate hour.

David is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) and serves as Lead Pastor of King Street Community Church (Oshawa), where he has served this local church for almost 20 years.

In addition to his pastoral work, David is a Registered Psychotherapist, providing care and support to his clients at Voice of Hope Counselling and Wellness Centre in Whitby. His academic achievements include an undergraduate degree in Theology, a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, equipping him with a strong foundation for both Christian service and mental health care.

David is also a committed Zionist and a passionate and positive voice for the Jewish community, advocating for their well-being both locally and globally. He is committed to interfaith dialogue and standing in solidarity with the Jewish community.
