On Sunday, November 27, 2022, the women from Teen Challenge ministered to Campus Bathurst with their choir and moments of testimony. At Campus North we welcomed Larry Janzen, who brought us a powerful and inspiring message.

A special thank you on behalf of our missions team, partner agencies and our missionaries, to everyone who gave so generously to our Missions fundraiser. Together we've raised over $28,000 to help support the ongoing work of our local and global missionaries. Scroll down to find out more about our Missionaries and Missions organizations.

Missions continues to be an interesting and challenging ministry, all at the same time!

In the last year, we have taken on Global Disciples as well as Jonah and Hannah Hudson with Teach Beyond who will be teaching at a Christian school in the Czech Republic this fall. Global Disciples are in 58 countries. They teach and train those living in unreached villages to connect with their own people, and share the gospel of Christ. As a result, there are no cultural or language issues and their reports are astonishing! We also continue to uphold Teen Challenge, Avant (Larry and Marbi Janzen), and Youth Unlimited (Mel Kollar and Alison Chuck). Each missionary / ministry have been assigned to a home group for care and prayer. The Missions Committee meet monthly for a chat and a prayer time with each missionary or ministry. These are special times and help us to feel connected in our Lord’s work. 

One of our mandates is to educate our congregation as to what is happening, what we are doing, etc. Each month we will have a Missions Moment during our Sunday service to update you on how things are going with a particular missionary or missions organization that we support.

One of the new initiatives we are working on is trying to answer the question of “How can we outreach into our communities?” Each member of the Missions team have been challenged to research a local outreach initiative and report back to the Committee next meeting. If you have a local outreach that you are passionate about feel free to contact me or any member of the Missions Committee. We are always open to new ideas!

I want to say a heartfelt “ Thank You” to each member of our congregation. You continue to support our work through your prayers and generous financial givings. We are so grateful!

And, to my awesome Missions Team: Klaus and Lenore, Les, Heather, Carolina, Tina, Alison. I so appreciate your passion for missions, your creative ideas, your honesty, and your sense of fun - not all of our meetings are boring! 😀

Respectfully,

Laura Roome, Chairlady, Campus Church Missions Committee
