Please pray for our missionaries of the month -Alex and Cristina Núñez who have been teachers at the UB Bethel School in La Ceiba, Honduras, for most of their careers. Alex is a social studies teacher and Cristina is a Spanish teacher. Both are also involved in leading worship at the Gethsemene UB Church in La Ceiba.
In 2020 they sensed a call to minister in Thailand. The Honduras National Conference confirmed this calling, and in 2020 commissioned the Nuñez Family to serve at the Good Soil Community Center in Thailand. Since then, they have been working to learn English so that they can later learn to speak Thai.
Alex and Cristina have a deep faith and sincere love for God and others. Roger Reeck, who served with Wycliffe in Honduras, is aiding to prepare the Nuñez Family for the field. He says they are some of the sweetest people you can ever know, and that they will lead people to Jesus by way of their humility and sincere love for others.
There are three sons: Japheth, Andres, and Matteo. The family is living humbly as they prepare for the journey to Thailand and work among the Northern Thai people.

Christian Salvage Mission - is a ministry that Grace Church supports in an on-going fashion. We took a trip to their operation in Hamilton and discovered how their ministry works. CSM gathers bibles and all types of Christian literature and sends them overseas - where these things are unavailable. Their theme is "Gathering the fragments that nothing may be lost." John 6:12. The entirety of their work is run on donations. If you would like to help -you can save your used postage stamps, (cut them off the envelope and leave 1/4" border,)-bring them into the church, along with your used christian books/bibles etc...and we will pass it along to them.

HAITI: 28 Churches
United Brethren work in Haiti began when Rev. Oliam Richard, a Haitian minister thn living in Paris, France, learned about the United Brethren church through the UB website. He was supervising a group of churches in Haiti and wanted to find a group for them to affiliate with. Contacts were made. In October 2000, UB Global decided to launch into Haiti. Rev. Richard moved back to Haiti to personally supervise the Haitian churches. For many years, the Haitian churches were a mission district under the supervision of the UB Church in Canada. In 2019, they officially organized as a national conference.

People who come to Canada to seek asylum often have very few resources and little understanding of the complexities of our refugee determination system in Canada. The staff at Matthew House assists individuals and families with their many needs of navigating the immigration, health and settlement systems in Canada. Each new guest is treated with dignity and respect as they receive the guidance and advice which will give them the best chance for a successful future in Canada.
South Niagara Life's initial vision was to offer Supportive Services to assist those with an unplanned pregnancy. Today crisis and practical services have evolved at South Niagara Life Ministry to serve in all sorts of life crisis, issues, and problems to address area gaps and needs for services. Since SNLM's conception in 1992, requests for help increasingly come from all corners of the region and across our North American border, usually by word of mouth and/or referrals. All services are free - as sustained by area donations and sponsored events.
