Our Vision
To make a Kingdom impact in our city, our nation & the ends of the earth. Your giving will support ministries & organisations who are directly helping the poor & needy, oppressed, marginalized & forgotten. Ultimately we want to see the Good News of Jesus Christ proclaimed & expressed through doing Good Works.
Our Focus
The passion and momentum for our Local Church Compassion Ministries and outreach initiatives has been growing considerably over the last few years. Teams from our church have been going out to be ambassadors of Jesus by sharing the love of God and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom in our city. They have fed the unhoused, prayed for many and have shown the love of God in practical and powerful ways throughout Ottawa.
A percentage of your giving towards Good Works will go to supporting these ministries that directly impact the people who live in our city. It will help provide food, clothing, and resources that equip these teams to continue blessing the people of Ottawa.

IN OTTAWA:
St. Peter & St. Paul’s Church
St. Peter & St. Paul’s Anglican Church is located in the heart of Ottawa and it’s where we meet for our Sunday services each week. Every Friday from 7-9pm they opens up their church building to host a drop-in and meal ministry called: ‘A Place to Go’
They offer a meal and a place to belong for the unhoused, lonely, and those who struggle to afford the rising food costs. It gives people a safe space to make friends in a warm and inviting environment.
A percentage of your generosity this year will go towards supporting ‘A Place to Go’ so that they can continue this important work and reach those in need of food, friendship and the love of Jesus.
We truly believe that in order to see renewal in our city it will take churches coming together in unity and supporting one another. We are excited to sow into this wonderful church as they have generously opened their doors to us as a church.
The Canadian Bible Society has resourced 100s of 1000s of people with the Word of God across Canada and the world. In providing bibles and resources they help so many people grasp the message of Christ’s love and embrace His power to meet them in their need. This is no small thing because in the giving of Bibles they are inspiring hope in a world drowning in despair, doubt and darkness.
From a position of humility, of affirming hope, and engaging the complexities of reconciliation, they have been invited to work alongside Indigenous Canadians for the good of their communities in translating the Word of God in their native languages. As a result, these communities are now receiving bibles and scripture resources in their own language.
A percentage of your generosity will help support this beautiful and vital work in continuing to ensure everyone in Canada can read the Word of God in their own native tongue.

TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH:
Mama Imara
Mama Imara (in Uganda, Africa) exists to ensure maternal care is continually available for women through their pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal period. The care women receive should be free, accessible, dignified, and compassionate at all times and Mama Imara is committed to supporting the provision of this care to vulnerable women.
Your giving into Good Works helps us provide the annual salary of a midwife ($200/month) as they continue to do this incredibly important work to bring new life into the world!
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH:
Instituto Solidare
The Instituto Solidare (in Recife, Brazil) is a non-profit that started in 2006 and emerged as a response to help give relief to the social and economic problems experienced by the community.
They run many programs and projects that address the needs of children, the vulnerable and the community in practical ways and they are seeing so many lives and communities transformed as a result. All of what they do contributes to improving the quality of life of families in situations of social and economic vulnerability.
Their programs include:
Educational Programs
Parenting & Tax Programs
Social Assistance & Development Programs
Income Generation and Professional Quality Programs
Environmental Clean Up and Sanitation Programs
Disaster Relief
A percentage of your giving will help support their programs that continue to reach the people in the Coqueiral neighbourhood located in the city of Recife, Brazil.
A small % of Good Works will also be used for admin and credit card fees.
