JUST LISTEN Christian Education in Canada

Everyday we receive calls from students who want to join our college but lack financial assistance. There are lots of reasons... parents out of work, one-parent family, scarcity of summer jobs, no support available from anyone.

Although we are able to help many, it is frustrating to tell some students that we have run out of student aid. Without your continued support. our Christian youth could not receive the benefits of a Canadian education.

The students we have with us now need nearly $10,000 each year for a Christian education. Your donation will send a message—one that reassures them of your confidence and support. They thank you and we thank you.
