Weekly Announcements

Below are our weekly announcements. Our hope is that announcements are not just for your information, but also for your participation.

Jesus’ Network Christmas Baskets

Pastor Obed, who serves with the Jesus Network, is one of the missionaries supported by NTCBC.  We provide support to Pastor Obed through prayer, financial resources and actively partnering with him in the outreach of the Afghan community in the GTA and Ontario.

During the Christmas season, NTCBC is invited to join Pastor Obed in preparing and delivering Christmas gift baskets to welcome Afghan families who reside in the GTA.  This is an opportunity for us to meet with Afghan families and share the gospel.  Our hope is that the families receiving the baskets will hear and feel Jesus’ love through us.

This year, we invite you to participate in one or more of the following ways:

  1. Contribute stationery supplies for the children (e.g. notebooks, pencils, pens, etc.)
  2. Attend the ministry sharing session and pack gift basket on Friday, November 25, at 7:30 p.m.
  3. Help deliver gift baskets between December 4-17
  4. Financially support the cost of the gift baskets. (Make the offering through E-transfer)
  5. Pray for opportunities to visit Afghan families and share the gospel and Jesus’ love with them through Christmas baskets.
  6. Pray for the gospel to bear fruit
