Hey Everyone!

Hi Church :) I just recently received a reminder about the annual walk the wall fundraiser put on by International China Concern. I have posted a team for Simple Church. Please join if you are able. It was great last year to represent and walk with a good handful of us at Stanley Park. Our Team Goal is 10 participants and $1000. That's $100 each fundraising... but we can blow that out of the water like we did with the Ukraine Fundraiser :) To sign up log on to http://www.walkthewall.org/signup Let's go Church!!

Hi Church,

Some of you may know Steph Taylor from ASAP. She is going to South Africa and is having a fundraiser at NSA August 15th 7 pm. If you would like to support her please come out. I will be there :) The following is an email she sent updating us on her latest happenings... (see attachment as well)

Hi Everyone!

Hi Church,

I'm looking for a room mate and just wanted to see if anyone knew of someone looking for a place to rent. It's on Capitol Hill in North Burnaby... If you have any candidates... please let me know :) My room mate is out as of August 1st so would ideally like to find someone for then, but if not then as soon as possible. My # is 604-294-2992 or email rbrooke@telus.net

Thanks, Rebecca :)

Hi folks, Just thought I'd post this to see if any of you would be interested in biking for my friend Jennifer Lee's organization Gather and Give... it is June 28th for a 100 km ride around Vancouver and Richmond. $35 to register and suggested $350 funds raised in support... you can visit the website http://www.gatherandgive.org/ for more info... or see attachment Rebecca :)

ICC EMERGENCY APPEAL - Thank you!

Dear Rebecca

There has been a fantastic response from around the world to the China Weather Crisis Emergency Appeal.

Winter is by no means over but we hope the worst of the weather is. Our international volunteers and Chinese employees are now beginning the task of clearing up, repairing damage, and continuing to ensure the health and wellbeing of the children. We want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of each and every one.

Hey Church :)

My friend Jen Lee who is the soon to be Executive Director for Gather and Give has a position available and I thought I'd post it for anyone who may be interested, or pass it on if you know anyone who may fit the mold :)

It is in line with the theme of ministering to the marginalized... read on.

Our Mission
Gather and Give is a Vancouver based Christian non-profit organization. We have been offering our services for five years. Our mission is to partake in the work of God's kingdom by:
1. Expressing Christ's love through practical actions that address physical needs

Hi simple church.

I got this email from ICC and thought it warranted passing on and our consideration in prayer. Thanks :)

EMERGENCY APPEAL
China Weather Crisis - We Need Your Help

Dear Rebecca

China is weathering the most severe winter in 50 years and Hunan province is one of the worst hit in a snow crisis that has gripped the country these past 3 weeks with extreme weather conditions wreaking havoc.

Hi Church,

I was in my 'time' last night at home after a busy day... finally took time to lay down and just be.

My room mate is away, so I am taking care of her cat Max. Max came from a rough background... He was a stray, skrony, frightened little camp kitten when she rescued him about 7 years ago. He use to freak out at the sight of people. She says he has really come a long way. He is still very cautious and gets startled easily... but he's kinda grown on me (I'm not a cat lover).
