Sad News to Report This week we received news that our music director's mother, Wan Sook Kim, died peacefully on Sunday evening at Eagle Ridge Hospital. Wan Sook was a faitful follower of Jesus who persevered through a war time exodus from North Korea and an immigration to Canada with nothing. She was deeply loved by her seven children and all grand children who surrrounded her with their presence in her final weeks. We extend condolences to Chang Hwa, Kiejoon, and their extended family for their loss. A service will be held at Velleyview funeral home, 14644 72nd Ave. Surrey on Monday October 2nd at 2 pm. “If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.” Romans 14:8–9

Thank you to everyone who so generously donated to Marg Buschman, Ramesh Mardani, and Charles, Vanessa and Amelia Boname as they walked and bicycled to raise funds for Ratanak’s vital work in Cambodia. Together they raised more than $5,000. Ratanak has not quite reached their goal of $100,000.00 yet, but they are almost there. The window for donations will remain open until early next month. Traffickers promise young Cambodian women and men well-paying jobs abroad, but instead, they are sold into modern-day slavery. They endure brutal working conditions and physical and sexual violence and they are trapped with no way home. Your support enables Ratanak’s more than 70 Cambodian employees to work with survivors who manage to escape these horrible conditions. To donate, please enter https://www.roadtofreedomchallenge.com/ in your browser address line. Then click on DONATE, which appears in the top, right corner of the page. You may have to scroll down to find the search box where you type in the individual’s name. Select the amount you wish to donate and click NEXT. A tax receipt will be issued in February 2024 for donations of $15.00 or more. |
