Montreal Hope

Coming face to face with Jesus has challenged us to be like him. We have seen in His teaching that he empowers us to come together and be the answer to the world’s injustices. We have taken up the challenge of living out the revolutionary and up-side-down Kingdom of God… locally, in Montreal.

We want to advance this Kingdom by facilitating reconciliation and peace. We want to expand it by passing on the faith, hope and love that come from Jesus. In His Kingdom, the least are the greatest and the last are the first. So we are beginning with the poor and the least, the vulnerable of our society. We’re letting Him change our thinking and we’re joining the revolution that He began. We’re willing to spend our lives with those He would, doing the things He would, in the way He would.

How?

Because this is new to all of us, we are learning what the needs are in Montreal by joining with other followers who have friends amongst the poor and homeless. We have been asking them how we can help.

For now, we know that there are people who need help keeping warm during winter, so we are collecting winter clothing that we will give out in the harsher months of January and February. We also know that most people feel lonely, depressed and unworthy as a result of their condition, so we want to invite them into a the warmth of a Laundromat and chat with them over a cup of hot chocolate while their clothes get cleaned and we cut their hair and do their nails and toenails.

We don’t have a plan detailed out, we are just following Jesus. Thank you for joining us in this discovery. Your contributions will go towards the needs of the vulnerable of the Montreal society. They will not go towards a redundant, self-serving project but to a relevant, un-explored and love-driven mission.
