CFI – Christian Friends of Israel

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless His holy name.” Psalm 103:1 Thankfully the Israel-Gaza war has stopped, and the hostages are returning slowly, some alive to reunite with their families, and others in coffins, murdered in captivity, but at the least this can bring some closure to their loved ones.  Perhaps the tragedy is the hundreds of terrorists being released out of jail in exchange, and returned to Gaza and the Westbank; hopefully not to reoffend. However, we have already witnessed attacks in Tel Aviv, and buses exploding from bombs, decimating prematurely. Thankfully, God allowed these explosions in the night before their passengers boarded. May President Trump, and PM Benjamin Netanyahu bring an end to to this terrorist group Hamas. “The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked, and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.” Psalm 11:5  As the families bury their loved ones, and the hostages begin to recover from captivity, we trust that God the Father is with them.  May they all come to know Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn; for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:3-4 May the Palestinians have dreams and visions of Jesus, and bow their knees to the prince of peace. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Christian Service Brigade

Your Boys – Your Men – Your Church. Christian Service Brigade makes this our priority. CSB comes alongside the men of your church to build the boys of your community for Christ. It isn’t so much what CSB is doing through the Tree Climber, Stockade and Battalion programs, it’s how men in your church are inspired by God to reach the boys in your greater community. Your Church – Your Men – Your Boys. The local church is the starting point for reaching the community with the Good News. CSB provides proven programs that build upon “Godly Action Wrapped in Biblical Truth”. Men are trained to build wholesome relationships with their sons, church family, and friends in the neighbourhood. Families in Your Community are looking for Christ-centred fellowship that builds their children mentally, physically, spiritually and socially – Luke 2:52. Christians want to fulfil Christ’s Great Commission. CSB can help:  www.csbcan.ca.

Lighthouse Harbour Ministries

A Serious Issue: When a Lighthouse chaplain first met chief officer Wung aboard his ship, the seafarer was dressed in a heavier camouflage jacket with his hood on.  This Chinese mariner was cordial but not very talkative. The chaplain asked Wung about whether he believes in life after death, and he responded in the negative.  When questioned further about how the world was created, the seafarer didn’t reply but seemed spurred on to consider this issue.  The chaplain was able to show Wung some Scripture in a Chinese-English New Testament and encouraged him to read the Gospel of John. A very significant comment was made by Wung after John 20:30-31 was pointed out to him; he said very seriously: “This should be read very carefully.”  The seafarer later asked if he could keep the New Testament that he had been reading from. Why not volunteer with Lighthouse to bring God’s Word to the world?  info@sealight.org or 604-988-5084.
