Birthday Promise 2024

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2024.

Also, my birthday is this month and I will be 39 years old, lots to praise God for!

During this month of my birthday, I invite you to please pray & consider partnering with me in this upcoming new year at UrbanPromise Toronto. As some of you may know, I completed my three month Sabbatical this past summer and returned to work in September. I look forward to what God has in store this upcoming new year with some good changes and yet I am always called to full-time ministry. Some new things...special programs for basketball, dance & drama, new added space in local elementary school, head coach for a Jr. Boys high school basketball team, regular local library trips, new interns, new staff. Now this is a relationship-based & support-raising position so I need to continually build my team of Promise Partners. These people are financial monthly supporters and as a direct result support the vision & mission of the programs we provide for the children, youth & their families.

I am praying for the help of 50 new Promise Partners at $36/month which represents the hours of 3 PM - 6 PM when children in Toronto Community Housing are the most vulnerable. It actually costs us that much (= $432 annually) to run these After School Programs and Seasonal Camps every year.

So, in lieu of more birthday greetings and gifts this month...would you consider joining me in this important mission by giving to my personal deputation and becoming my:

PROMISE PARTNER

...or if you currently do or have partnered with me in the past, would you also consider increasing your donation to alleviate the needs?

THANK YOU again for your continued support during my Sabbatical and also for your encouragement as I continue loving, serving and worshipping God in this way!
