: Dear saints,
: Greetings in our Lord's Name!
: Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
: As you know from 2001 till the
: present, Potter's Place Mission (PPM)
: has been faithful in the following
: ministries : 1. Providing meals twice
: a day to about 150 people
: incorporating them together with
: praise and worship services
: 2. Mobilizing mission trips
: ministering to the natives both on
: and off-reserve
: 3. Having urban ministry to the women
: and children down at Commercial
: Drive/Hastings
: 4. Administering a 3-year Bible
: College and leadership training
: program
: 5. Offering counseling and guidance
: to the street people
: 6. Operating Street Artist Workshop
: (SAW), a work community that intends
: to get the street people off welfare
: dependency and to be self-sufficient
: 7. Managing a residential dormitory
: for PPM's Bible School students
: "Powell House" (330 Powell
: Street)
: We are writing this letter to
: highlight on the situation we are
: currently facing at "Powell
: House" which urgently requires
: your prayers and financial support.
: We purchased "Powell House"
: last year to provide board and
: lodging to people who want to change
: life style and be helped. The
: students are not charged for the
: housing/food. However, they are
: required to give up living on
: welfare. PPM is committed to disciple
: and train them. Our approach is to
: provide a secure place where these
: students can receive food,
: acceptance, counseling, spiritual
: guidance, teaching and an opportunity
: to change their lifestyle.
: Currently, there are 7 residents
: there but we have give up
: "Powell House" as there is
: a limit to the number of people who
: can reside there. To rebuild or
: rezone this place would cost much
: more. As such, we have been purchsed
: a new place and thank the Lord, we
: found one but we need an extra of
: C$200,000.00 as "Powell
: House" can be sold for only
: C$207,250.00 and the new place costs
: C$417,000.00.
: We cannot afford further mortgage and
: the students have to leave by 28th of
: July 2004. it is a critical
: situation and we ask that you, as our
: partners in His Kingdom, will
: prayerfully consider and support us
: in whatever contributions the LORD
: will put in your hearts to do so.
: Please give me a call (604-537 8717)
: if you need me to share with you more
: regarding this .
: Thank you and the LORD continue to
: bless you in your labour of love for
: HIM.

: In His Service
