www.CanadianCharityLaw.ca Which Canadian charities spent money on foreign activities in 2018 and how much did they spend? By Mark Blumberg and Henri Pasha (June 26, 2020) We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2018. The database was prepared by the Charities Directorate of CRA in February 2020 and covers about 84,270 charities (which is over 98% of Canadian registered charities) and their 2018 T3010 returns. We reviewed the Canadian charities that identified they did foreign activities through funding projects abroad (approximately 3,324 charities identified spending funds abroad). We also list which identified they received CIDA funding and how much was spent on those arrangements. The total amount claimed is about $3,756,814,368. Keep in mind that additional funds are spent by Canadian charities for example when making gifts to “qualified donees” that are foreign universities registered with CRA or UN agencies and they are not included in this document. Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 on line C4 and Box 2100 “Did the charity carry on, fund, or provide any resources through employees, volunteers, agents, joint ventures, contractors, or any other individuals, intermediaries, entities, or means (other than qualified donees) for any activity/program/project outside Canada? Yes or No” On this list we included all charities who advise CRA that they spend more than $100,000 Those who had answered yes to question 2100 then complete “Schedule 2, Activities Outside Canada” In Schedule 2 - Activities Outside Canada it asks: Line 1 and line 200: What were total expenditures on activities/programs/projects carried on outside Canada during the fiscal period, excluding gifts to qualified donees? $^ Line 4 and Box 220: Were any projects undertaken outside Canada funded by Global Affairs Canada? Yes or No Line 230: If yes, what was the total amount of funds expended under this arrangement? $^ Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information. 1 www.CanadianCharityLaw.ca Total Foreign Global Affairs Name of Canadian registered charity Expenditures Funding 1.

    PRINCETON, N. J. BT 885 .B7 1878 Brookes, James H. 1830-1897 Marantha MARANATHA OB THE LORD COMETH By JAMES H. BROOKES, Author of “How to be Saved,” “Mat Christians Dance, “ Gospel Hymns,” “ The Way Made Plain,” &c. FIFTH EDITION. ST. LOUIS: EDWARD BREDELL, PUBLISHER 212 N. Fifth Street. PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION. The Lord has been pleased to own the testimony of this little volume to the truth of His pre-millennial advent, far beyond any expectation of the measure of its acceptance, at the time it was written. Sent forth in much weakness, it has led many to study the teach¬ ings of His own word; and thus having learned to “love his appearing,” (2 Tim. iv: 8), they are now eagerly “looking for that blessed hope,” (Tit. ii: 13). Again is it sent forth with the prayer that He will graciously use it still more, to awaken the attention of His beloved ones to the last promise that fell from His lips, “ Surely I come quickly,” and to call forth from their hearts the longing response, “ Even so, come, Lord Jesus,” (Rev. xxii: 20).

WHY LITERAL SACRIFICES IN THE MILLENNIUM Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice A common objection to the consistent literal interpretation of Bible prophecy is found in Ezekiel’s Temple vision (Ezek. 40—48). Opponents argue that if this is a literal, future Temple, then it will require a return to the sacrificial system that Christ made obsolete since the prophet speaks of “atonement” (kiper) in Ezekiel 43:13, 27; 45:15, 17, 20. This is true! Critics believe this to be a blasphemous contradiction to the finished work of Christ as presented in Hebrews 10. Hank Hanegraaff says that I have “exacerbated the problem by stating that without animal sacrifices in the Millennium, Yahweh’s holiness would be defiled. That, for obvious reasons, is blasphemous.” He further says that such a view constitutes a return “to Old Covenant sacrifices.”1 “Is it heretical to believe that a Temple and sacrifices will once again exist,” ask John Schmitt and Carl Laney? “Ezekiel himself believed it was a reality and the future home of Messiah.

    Where Is the True Church? – and Its Incredible History!) When God Called Mr

    Where Is GOD’S CHURCH? by David C. Pack Herbert W. Armstrong led the Worldwide Church of God (formerly The Radio Church of God until 1968) until his death in 1986. Hundreds of mil- lions heard his voice and read his literature. God called him in the fall of 1926 and he was converted in the spring of 1927. Over the course of Mr. Armstrong’s ministry, God revealed through him a great many true biblical doctrines, which had been lost to the Church through the centuries. After his death, his successors ceased to believe and teach these doctrines. Although copyright law prohibits The Restored Church of God from reproducing and distributing literature produced while he led the Worldwide Church of God, we are committed to the preservation and teaching of all of these truths! THIS BOOKLET IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE AND IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST BY THE RESTORED CHURCH OF GOD. It is made possible by the voluntary, freely given tithes and offerings of the members of the Church and others who have elected to support the work of the Church. Contributions are welcomed and gratefully accepted. Those who wish to voluntarily aid and support this WORK OF GOD around the world are gladly welcomed as co-workers in this major effort to preach the gospel to all nations. Copyright © 2008, 2017 The Restored Church of God® All Rights Reserved. Printed in the United States of America Did Christ build one, unified, organized Church? Or is His Church divided? He said, “I will build MY CHURCH”— not “churches,” “fellowships,” “sects,” “denominations” or “communities of believers.” He promised that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Where is it and how is it identified? What and why is it? You need not be confused.

    Voluntourism: the Visual Economy of International Volunteer Programs

    Voluntourism: The Visual Economy of International Volunteer Programs By Ellyn Clost A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2011 Copyright © Ellyn Clost, 2011 Abstract This thesis examines images of volunteer tourism—or voluntourism—on internet sites and describes how the photographs that appear on them contribute to maintaining global systems of power. Voluntourism is defined as either the payment of a program fee to an organization to travel to a developing country to perform various volunteer tasks or as the pause of gainful employment in one‟s own country to work for an extended period of time in a developing country at a local wage. Currently there is debate as to the real benefits of volunteer tourism: is it truly the sustainable form of responsible, alternative tourism it is intended to be, or does it merely replicate the conditions of mass tourism and exploit those it is intended to benefit? This study explores visual representations of voluntourism in non-Western cultures in developing countries, and the consumption of those representations by participants in Canadian-based volunteer tourism organizations. The primary focus is photographs of interpersonal relationships between “voluntourists” and “voluntoured” in an examination of how culture and skin colour are manipulated in an attempt to maintain Westerners‟ positions of power in pictures and, by extension, in global power relations. I suggest that a complex interaction of the pictorial codes of tourism, colonialism and the popular media converge in voluntourism‟s photographs, resulting in images that simultaneously offer potential volunteers the opportunity to “do good” in the world as well as to consume cultural difference as a commodity.
