Each year we run on a shoestring budget, but sometimes that string begins to fray. This past year a number of long-term faithful donors decided to reallocate their money to social justice initiatives within their own neighbourhoods. It was great to see them grow in their passion for developing social justice within their own context. However, this has meant we are feeling a little thinner than normal.

To give you a sense of our neighbourhood, in 2006 the median household income was $13,691, compared with roughly $48,000 for Vancouver as a whole.

We love sharing what is going on in our community, and we would love to come tell you about it. Let us share what we have—which is a wealth of life experience living in a context of marginalization, seeing God work in people here, and offering our perspective on the kingdom of God and the heart of Christ—with you.
