NSAC MISSIONS FUNDRAISER: TREK for HOPE 2.0!

As a church, we want to combine our love for exploring God’s creation with our love for helping other people. So we're asking you to join us in the TREK for HOPE fundraiser - raising funds to support our local and global missionaries. 

The proceeds of the Trek for Hope Fundraiser will go to:

1. LAZARUS COMMUNITY HOUSE: providing local housing for marginalized members of Vancouver metro area, work resources, and spiritual care
2. PROJECT SAMUEL:  To support Kim and Brendan Vowell at Project Samuel in Zambia. Funds raised will support their educational needs to buy school supplies and help support their grads with college funds! This project is home to 25 orphaned and at risk children. The project exists to love, care, and equip the children and surrounding communities in great need.

Please feel free to continue parking in any available spot on Sunday mornings.  During the week, those with mobility issues can park in the front near the church, and we encourage others to park in row 6 or above.

We are grateful to you, and to God, for the ongoing generosity of your giving.  At the end of the 2021 calendar year, we received some unexpected financial gifts.  We will be seeking God’s direction in how to use these funds to further the ministry of North Shore Alliance both locally and globally.
