Victoria Church & School Build Two Classrooms in Afghanistan
Lakeview Christian School (LCS) and the Victoria and Rest Haven Adventist churches came together towards a goal to build one classroom in Afghanistan and raised $11,700 – enough for two instead! The Victoria Seventh-day Adventist Church (through their ADRA Committee and music department) partnered with the Rest Haven Seventh-day Adventist Church music department to put on a fundraising concert on February 12, 2011, that raised $8,700, with donations trickling in to bring the total to $9,000. LCS raised $2,700, for a combined total of $11,700 – enough to build two classrooms.
Food for Body and Soul
The Cawston/Keremeos church in southern British Columbia is providing food for both the soul and the body to the towns in its surrounding area. While the VOAR Christian radio station, which began rebroadcasting in the area in December 2010, is reaching the residents of Cawston and Keremeos, the church-operated food bank reaches out to the additional towns of Ashnola, Hedley, Olalla and Chopaka.
