ADVERTISEMENT ONTARIO College Park Welcomes New Pastor The Christian Will by George Clarke, Director Trust Services

Every individual has the right to decide what becomes of the property with which he or she has been entrusted. To take ad- vantage of that opportunity, you must have a valid Will stating what your wishes are. If there is no Will, the court must follow a prescribed set of rules which probably will not correspond to your desires. God's stewards are accountable for the way God's property is returned to Him or is transferred to another Christian steward. If Christians fail to use their possessions to do God's work, to whom can God turn? We cannot expect the unconverted, un- committed, self-serving citizens of the world to do the work that Christians have been commissioned by their Lord to do. By careful planning, a Christian is able to extend his usefulness and influence beyond this life. The Scriptures make it clear that all monies and possessions are ours only in trust. God will hold each person accountable for use or misuse of his/her Lord's goods. While we are not able to take our money with us to the world to come, we can "lay up treasure in heaven." That which we give to Christ and His work remains our own forever. By giv- ing to spread abroad the knowledge of Christ's love, we are in- vesting in a cause that is certain of success. Who needs a Will? Every Christian who possesses God's pro- perty.

Already very involved with her new church family, Liisa is the assistant pastor whose special ministry is to the elementary school age group. She also does counselling and women's ministries. Lynden is employed with North American Life and their two children, Suvi 8 and Berkeley 7 are students at College Park Elementary. Three Elders Ordained at Kingsview Village Raised in Ontario, Liisa met her husband at an evangelistic field school in Vancouver where they trained as health educators and Bible workers. After their marriage they attended Canadian Union College to study for the ministry. They graduated together in 1990. Since then Liisa has studied at the University of Calgary and is a candidate for a Masters Degree in Old Testament Studies.
