Sunday update

/
This Sunday we had the opportunity to hear Steve Chu from Toronto City Mission speak to us about the work that their organization is doing in Toronto. He also challenged us to understand that all who are Christians are to be witnesses for Jesus Christ in the world. We may try to hide from it, or deny it, but we will be witnesses, for good or for bad. Challenging and encouraging words! You can find out more information about Toronto City Mission on their website at: www.torontocitymission.com

We also celebrated a special birthday, as Alice Yeh is turning 90 on Saturday. Happy Birthday Auntie Alice!

We will resume our podcast next week as Tom speaks on Thanksgiving Sunday. Better yet, why not come down to service and bring a friend along as well!

A Thank-You from David Lewis and Global Vision

/
On behalf of Global Vision and all the third world people who receive donated eyeglasses I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity in supporting this project. Without the Christian compassion displayed by people such as the congregation of the Chinese Presbyterian Church, a project such as Global Vision could not experience the success we have witnessed.

Let me share an email from a worker in Kenya: “The eyeglass giving day was a blessing to many. In fact, the turnout was more than what we expected. Can you imagine 200 people turned out and only those who came early were given glasses and the rest prayed for. We witnessed the love of Christ to many people and 72 people gave their lives to Jesus.”

Used Eyeglasses Needed

/
Global Vision, a Christian humanitarian project, distributes used eyeglasses to people in Africa and India for people who can not afford them.  There is a huge need and there are not enough eyeglasses.  You can help by donating an old pair of eyeglasses over the next few weeks.  Linda Chan will be collecting them on behalf of CPC.
