In 1985, John Howard founded ADRA Canada. Armed with an unshakeable desire to serve the well-being of people worldwide, he led the agency through the early years of its work and established a foundation that has endured to this day. During the celebration of the 20th anniversary of ADRA in 2005, he gave this interview. It is presented here at length to honour his life and legacy in light of his unfortunate passing on July 25, 2026. In November of 2023, we were fortunate enough to have John Howard in attendance at another milestone celebration—the celebration of ADRA's 40th anniversary. He regaled attendees with stories of his eventful and rich life experience—sharing wisdom and insights from many years of service. The livestream of that event is still available on our channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/live/wEMw60N9LyE?si=vbaa7Ud5l1Fp0hm7 ADRA Canada is grateful to John Howard for his years of service, inspiration, and leadership. He was an untiring champion of God's justice, compassion, and love. YOU TOO CAN LEAVE A LEGACY:

Lebanon has endured so much. When the Beirut port explosion devastated the city in 2020, ADRA was there. During the 2024 air strikes, ADRA was also there. In times of conflict and displacement, ADRA has continued to serve, providing families with food, water, hygiene kits, and the support they needed to survive. And today, ADRA is there again. Please join us as we support people who need it the most. Together, we can restore hope in humanity, one life at a time. https://adra.ca/hope/ ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● WHO WE ARE:

Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. More than 30 million people need help. Millions of children have been displaced. Women and girls face daily risks of violence simply trying to collect water. ADRA is responding in some of the hardest-hit communities. We are rehabilitating water systems, repairing sanitation facilities, and helping prevent cholera outbreaks. Women and girls are receiving psychosocial support, protection services, and safe spaces. Emergency cash assistance is helping vulnerable families buy food and meet urgent needs with dignity.” ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● WHO WE ARE:
