I am very pleased to give this report about the 2017 ministry year. I give thanks to God for your partnership which enabled me to receive full support for salary and program expense throughout the year. Through your support we have seen God move powerfully in the youth, staff and volunteers involved in our programs. The Jane and Finch community regrettably witnessed increased violence over the last year as one individual who was a member of our outreach program and served as a camp counsellor at Seeds of Hope in 2012 was stabbed to death. Despite the heartache and tragedy of such violence, we are clinging to the hope found in Jesus; that He will continue to move in the hearts of young people and shine His light even brighter than the darkness that besieges our community
