The Missions Committee

What We Do
    The Missions Committee is involved in reaching out with God's love to our community and our world.  It is the goal of the Missions Committee to educate, inspire and challenge the congregation in its mission locally, nationally, and internationally, coordinating the mission projects of our congregation and working with other churches and agencies to make a difference in the name of Jesus in our community and world.

Special Campaigns
    The Missions Committee will be presenting two special campaigns to the congregation each year, with a goal of making a significant Missions impact locally and internationally.
   
Our Special Campaign for 2007 was the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.  Thanks to the congregation's response, and 4-1 matching funds provided by the Canadian International Development Agency, we will have provided sufficient food supplies to feed over 140 families for an entire year!  The Committee will provide updates of this project to the congregation throughout the year, and will organize a new 2008 Christmas campaign.
  
 Additionally, watch for an upcoming special spring project to assist Camp Keir in its Mission to the youth of our church and Island.

Ongoing Support
    Your envelope contributions help us provide omoing monthly support for two main Missions - Shepherd's Farm and Camp Keir.   Stephen and Cindy Cousin's Shepherd's Farm works with troubled youth,  addiction issues, international students, and a host of other local concerns;  additionally, Stephen is involved in evangelism outreach through agricultural development projects in the Congo.
   
    Camp Keir is a dynamic outreach and mission to Presbyterian and other Island youth.  Over the last 60 years of its ministry, Camp Keir has been the source of many a young person's commitment to Christ.  As a continuing source of impact to our youth, we look forward to partnering with the Camp
in its much -needed outreach and support to young people.
