Internal - General Tue, 14 Apr 2015 17:00:00 +0100 http://bcyarea.cbwc.ca/content/view/126/110/ Donna Stewart, a long-time advocate for below-market housing who is part of the Canadian Baptist family has been honoured for her lifetime of dedication to helping the vulnerable. At the beginning of May, the BC Government honoured her with a BC Community Achievement Award, noting that she has given a lifetime of volunteer service. She has advocated for the rights of women and children, affordable housing and accessible community resources. Ever the advocate, Donna managed to slip Premier Gordon Campbell a package of information on the need for low-rent housing in Vancouver while he was shaking her hand during the award ceremony. On June 1, Donna was named Vancouver’s Woman of Distinction in the Community Building category. Specifically, Donna was being honoured for her work in founding A Place to Call Home, a society with a vision to create below-market housing for people who cannot afford to live and work in North and West Vancouver.

We give thanks that no one was hurt and that the fire damage was contained to the kitchen. The Ark Youth Centre is located in the basement of the church. Although the fire didn’t spread, there was extensive smoke damage throughout the rest of the building. A restoration crew got to work immediately to clean the church sanctuary, which was ready for Sunday services. The youth centre itself cannot be used until the damage is repaired. At this time, the cost of damages has not yet been assessed. The Ark had only recently re-opened after suffering extensive water damage almost exactly a year ago. Please pray that the Ark will re-open again soon once renovations are complete and that God will work through this experience in the lives of the youth. Please pray that the need to clean and repair the building one more will be used in some way to open the lives of youth and everyone involved to God’s work in our lives.
