MISSION MOMENT

At 16, Ahmad Reza carries heavy responsibilities. Living in Bamyan, Afghanistan, he was orphaned by the loss of both parents, becoming the main support for his family. He cares for his two younger brothers and lives with his sister’s family, who also face extreme poverty. The winter months are particularly difficult as food becomes scarce. Overwhelmed by grief and financial pressure, Reza was forced to leave school. He now works as an apprentice at a garage to gain skills for his family’s future. Relief came when Reza’s family received three months of cash assistance through a winter cash-for-food program supported by PWS&D. “For the first time in months, the constant worry about our next meal has eased,” he said. Reza hopes his training will soon allow him to support his family fully.

The Women’s Morning Out group would like to thank everyone who donated toward the ongoing prayer shawl ministry. Your donations allow us to continue to share God’s grace and love in moments of sadness or difficulty. These shawls are visible reminders of God’s presence and that we as a congregation are there to support, pray for, and encourage one another.

Women’s Morning Out group will meet on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 A.M. at Burnside Church.

Our Charge book club has concluded for the summer and will begin again in September.

Please save the date of a Charge fundraising dinner and entertainment on Saturday October 3 at APM Centre. More details to come.
