For over 100 years, Seventh- day Adventists have reached out to help their neighbours both at home and abroad. A fundamental part of our ADRA mission and philosophy as a church is to share the love of Christ by serving others. Over the years, Adventist outreach programs have expanded to include over 5,500 educational institutions and over 500 health care facilities worldwide. A wide variety of Community Service programs operates in thousands of cities and towns, maintained by the dedication and enthusiasm of local church members. At a global level, for over 40 years the work of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (formerly known as SAWS) has brought positive change to communities in need. ADRA programs are established in over 110 countries, and ADRA helps an average of 10,000 war inr Across tne nation, Canadians in action...

As it happened back on the Alberta farm on October 12, 1994, unbeknown to his Dad, Blair followed him out to pasture and entered a fenced area near to where Dad was working. At one point, Dad turned only to notice his boy lying on the ground, a horse standing nearby. Rushing to pick up the lad it became obvious from the massive head injuries sustained, that the horse had kicked the five year old. Immediately, word went out across the country as the boy entered surgery for his crushed-in skull. Doctors had little hope. But even the Fraser Valley elementary stu- dents and teachers would be surprised at the power of prayer. Blair's coma lasted six days and doctors were absolutely astonished to see the boy walk from the hospital fourteen days after he entered it.
