As the church continues to grow programs and build partnerships, while striving for the financial sustainability that is needed to serve the poor and marginalized on this scale, the Rev. Pam Trondson works to keep the congregation spiritually centred. “God is challenging those who are privileged to be open to those who are not privileged. And we live with the messiness of that.”

“This infusion of funding will facilitate the expansion of HFM’s outreach to neighbouring Anglican churches. It is highly symbolic for AFC that a community ministry that builds bridges of love and support for migrant workers—ensuring their well-being, dignity, and inclusion within Canadian society—should receive our first-ever Category C grant.”

“Jane Campbell’s bequest is an excellent example of how a legacy gift can lift all boats and support the church at various levels—locally, nationally, and internationally. We are always grateful for these gifts, and the impact we know their generosity will have for our applicants. But it is also heartening to see the benefit to the local parish and for PWRDF in this case.”
