Niagara Business Group Chapter Launch

The Niagara Business Group chapter was launched recently in a very rustic setting.


There was a noon session (above) and an evening session with over 24 businesses in attendance. A number couldn't make it that day and hope to join the near future. The group pledged $45,000 to the John Calvin Christian School project in Colombia. Two other business groups (Hamilton South & Calgary) have also chosen to support this project.

Below are some pictures. Links for further information are found at the bottom of this post (page down).


Here are the members who came for the evening session.
Lawrence and Sharon, members of the group, very kinded hosted our sessions in their rustic barn.






The Niagara Business chapter is the 7th Word & Deed business group to form.

A heartfelt thank you to all those who helped coordinate the launch (John & Jacqueline, Jake, Lawrence & Sharon) and to all the people who took time out of very busy schedules to attend.

Burma / Myanmar update

We are now in contact with a group of Reformed churches in Myanmar (Burma). We are in the process of sending some initial funds for home reconstruction, church reconstruction and a well which needs to be redug.

One major project under consideration is the reconstruction of a seminary (also used as a church).

Until we better understand more about the security of posting information about churches in Myanmar on the web, we will need to be a little vague in these updates.
