Thank you for supporting God’s work through our faith community. This past year, thanks to your partnering with us, we have been able to fulfil our vision to point people to Christ, foster spiritual transformation, and seek justice for all in creative, transformational ways. 

 Here are just a few examples: 

  • We hosted one of our largest-ever in-person Alpha courses with many new people exploring faith in Christ. 
  • 42 people decided to follow Christ through the waters of baptism (and I was personally thrilled when a friend who had not considered himself a follower of Jesus until recently took communion for the first time). 
  • Through Oasis Café we were able to share more than 11,000 meals and also resumed a regular Bible study where people gather for prayer and reflection on scripture and to experience spiritual formation. 
  • People in various kinds of small groups (nearly 700 in life groups alone) have felt seen by God through others and experienced spiritual transformation. 
  • We have provided nearly $75,000 to 10 of our long-term Cambodia ministry partners who support the plight of children without parents and people vulnerable to being trafficked into the sex trade or other kinds of slavery. 
  • During the coldest months of the year through our Temporary Weather Shelter, we welcomed more than 500 overnight guests and provided each of them with a warm beverage, homemade soup, shower facilities, and a hot breakfast in the morning. 
  • During these turbulent times, marked by war, and climate-related disasters, many people have been forced to leave their homelands. We walked alongside 300 newcomers to Canada, helping them get established through housing, community, meals, friendship, and employment. 

 As we approach the end of our calendar year, we find ourselves behind in our financial giving targets. If you are able to do so, would you consider giving a gift over and above your regular tithes and offerings as an act of worship, and to support God’s ongoing work through our faith community. Your giving will enable us to finish our calendar year in a strong place and position us to continue participating in God’s transformational stories of people in our city and various parts of the world.  


Thank you for your continued prayers and investment in God’s work through our faith community.
