CFI – Christian Friends of Israel

Give to the work of Christian Friends of Israel as we support the ministry within the land of ISRAEL! Volunteers labor to rebuild, restore and repair the southern areas of Israel affected by the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023; and renew the ancient land so that evacuees can once again move out of hotels, and resorts to new housing and new livelihoods. “Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell in.” Isaiah 58:12. As only God can truly heal hearts and minds from the atrocities that occurred, “the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want” Psalm 23:1; we are called to comfort God’s people “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.” Isaiah 40:1. Come Lord Jesus.

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

Seeds of Truth: Alexander breezed past a Lighthouse chaplain on his way to the gangway of his ship.  As he did so, the young seafarer, from an Island in the Mediterranean Sea, called back to the chaplain to tell him that he would meet him shortly in the ship’s office. Shortly after their initial encounter, the chaplain and seafarer did meet and began what ended up being a very long conversation.  During the dialogue, the Gospel message was shared with the seafarer, but, to the chaplain’s dismay, Alexander stated his atheist position and belief that kindness supersedes religion.  Mankind’s depravity was then brought up by the chaplain and the young mariner seemed to be ponder this, recognizing that human behaviour all-too-often fails the kindness test.  It seemed also that, following their talk, Alexander might be willing to reconsider his faith-position and mankind’s need for salvation. Come and volunteer with Lighthouse so that atheists can have the opportunity to believe – http://www.sealight.org or 604-988-5084.
