Scarborough to the world.
In Scarborough, people often call this place “The Ends.” It's a local expression of home, identity, and community. We love that because Show Love begins here, in the neighbourhoods that shaped us.
Jesus spoke about reaching the ends of the earth with love, hope, and peace. That vision shapes our work today. We start here in Scarborough by investing in youth, strengthening families, supporting seniors, and helping create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and connected.
From here, that same heart reaches beyond our neighbourhoods through local and global care, including work across Canada and in communities such as Turkey, the Philippines, Thailand, and India.
Near or far, our commitment stays the same.
To Show Love in real and practical ways.

Everything we offer is accessible and open to everyone.
Youth
Supporting the next generation
Scarborough is full of young people with creativity, resilience, and potential. At the same time, we have seen a rise in youth violence, fear, and instability. We refuse to let that define our neighbourhoods. So we stay present. We work alongside police, schools, elected leaders, parents, and community partners to strengthen safety and support. Our 3 focus areas are clear: to create safe spaces where young people belong, to provide mentorship, and to open real opportunities. We stay present across the week, all year long. Everything we offer is free to access and open to everyone.

Standing with the vulnerable.
We follow Jesus, who defended the vulnerable, confronted injustice, and restored dignity to the overlooked. His example shapes ours. We don't look away. We step in with courage and purpose.
We don't sensationalize pain or claim to have all the answers. We show up, listen, and walk with people in mercy and love.
Human trafficking is one of the gravest forms of exploitation today, hitting young girls and women in ways most people never see. We engage this work locally and globally through trusted partnerships.
In Scarborough, we partner with Fight4Freedom to reach women who have experienced trafficking and exploitation, building relationships and walking with them through recovery.
Globally, we support outreach workers in the Philippines and India who serve survivors of trafficking and people facing poverty. Survivors are welcomed into safe homes, with their children if needed, and receive education, job training, and a path to meaningful work. The goal is lasting restoration.
To date, more than 1,200 young women have been rescued through this support. Over 300 are being walked with right now.
Scarborough · Partner: Fight4Freedom
Hidden in plain sight across the GTA
In our own city, human trafficking is not distant or rare. It is happening in neighbourhoods across the GTA, often hidden in plain sight.
We partner with Fight4Freedom, a frontline organization confronting sex trafficking and supporting those affected by exploitation. They reach people where trafficking is known to happen, build trust, and open pathways toward safety.
Their work spans four areas: raising awareness, direct outreach, meaningful partnerships, and ongoing support for survivors.
Real change takes time. It means showing up consistently, earning trust, and helping people move toward healing and freedom.
Through partnership and financial support, we help sustain this work right here in Scarborough.

Give to ScarboroughSupport in moments of uncertainty.
Pregnancy can bring joy. It can also bring fear, uncertainty, or isolation when it comes unexpectedly. Many women in Scarborough face these moments without consistent support or clear options.
We want them to know they are not alone.
That's why we partner with the Pregnancy Care Centre, a trusted organization serving women and families across Toronto for over 40 years. They provide free, confidential support and a safe place to talk, ask questions, and explore next steps without pressure or judgment.
That includes pregnancy testing, clear information on options, emotional support, and ongoing care like parenting preparation, material support, and connections to community resources. Support continues well past any decision, as women and families move forward.
We show up to listen, to support, and to walk with each person in dignity and care.
Help ensure no woman faces an unexpected pregnancy alone.

Honouring Indigenous language, story & culture.
Across Canada, many Indigenous languages are at risk of being lost. These languages carry identity, history, and the stories of entire communities. When a language is lost, something irreplaceable goes with it.
Truth and Reconciliation calls us to listen, learn, and respond with humility. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, particularly Call to Action 14, highlight the importance of preserving and revitalizing Indigenous languages as central to culture, identity, and community life.
We support this work in partnership with the Cree people of Mistissini, Quebec, and alongside the Canadian Bible Society, by invitation. The focus is language preservation through translation into heart language, including Scripture, led by and for the community.
This work goes beyond words on a page. It's about honouring culture, strengthening identity, and supporting a community as they protect and carry forward what matters most.
We approach this work with respect. We are invited in, we listen first, and we support where it is helpful.
Help carry the indigenous language and story forward.
Support this workServing communities across the world.
In cities like Bangkok, many people live on the margins. Refugees, migrant families, and individuals navigating displacement and instability often lack consistent support and community.
We partner with The DeWits, who serve in Bangkok through relational, city-based outreach. Their work focuses on building connections with refugees and marginalized communities, creating spaces where people are seen, supported, and welcomed.
That includes working alongside local organizations, supporting refugee communities, and creating environments where people can gather, build relationships, and find stability.
They also mobilize volunteers and short-term teams, equipping others to serve meaningfully in complex urban contexts.
This is relational work. Steady, presence-driven, and rooted in showing up consistently in the lives of people navigating difficult circumstances.
Through partnership and financial support, we help sustain this work and expand its reach among vulnerable communities in Thailand.
Support refugees and marginalized communities in Thailand.
