Scholarship Update

A few months ago, we told you about a scholarship program that our ministry has been building the last couple of years. This year we are excited to announce that we had 372 applicants and 42 scholarship recipients who were awarded a total of $32,000. The whole point of this scholarship is to help students think through how they can grow in their faith and get connected into Christian community as they enter into post-secondary eduacation. Praise God for how this scholarship program is growing! More details and the list of recipients can be found here.

Quotes from Students

Towards the end of the school year, we sent out a survey to students involved in P2C across Canada. We wanted to share with you a few of the quotes we received about how God is working in their lives. Thank YOU so much for being a part of impacting these students in their faith and lives.

"God has been working in me as I heal from loss and abuse. I am coming to know his grace and the freedom we have in him."

"I was suicidal but I was able to start therapy and learn about myself. I have better coping mechanisms and I have even been able to tell my parents about what I was going through."

"I have grown deeper in my faith and I am emboldened to share my faith with other students and the world"

Remembering Grandma Frede

On Friday, July 22, my (Trevor's) grandma passed away peacefully at Hospice Waterloo Region. Grandma was 99 years old! She had been in reasonably good health, but declined significantly in recent months. Grandma will surely be missed! We will miss her glowing smile and sense of humour. If I ever did something for her she would say "thanks a million". She loved to play the game of Parchessi and it was a joy to play with her. She had great faith in God and was a tremendous supporter of missions. Here is her obituary and some fond memories can be seen below.
