Ministry Update
In an effort to strengthen the support for Robin’s ministry Straight Path, the Elders and our District office have formally agreed to a partnership arrangement under the New Ventures program.
The arrangement will be for 3 years and will run from February 15, 2025 to February 29, 2028. Our goal is clear, “To save souls of non-believers by reaching the South Asian diaspora in Winnipeg with the Good News for eternal life. We desire to see people from the South Asian diaspora come to know Jesus and become connected to a church community of their own that understands their culture and needs. We praise God for leading us in this direction. We are also excited to appoint Robin as our missionary-in-resident.
A giving page will be setup by New Ventures Operations for this New Venture through THE ALLIANCE CANADA – Giving Catalogue. Further details to follow.
