July 2024 Insights

Happy Canada Day! Many thanks to all who made our Sweet and Savoury fundraiser a huge success last month. We had a wonderful turnout, and many compliments and words of encouragement were shared with us about the updates, testimonies, venue (shout out to The Shed Out Back!) and food. With the help of one generous donor we raised $115,000!
 
As I mentioned at this event, the needs in our community are great. This year, each month we’ve had an increase in counselling appointments over last year. We’ve increased some of our counsellors hours in the past year to try to accommodate the influx of calls and emails from people in need of biblical counselling- and they are connecting with us from all over Canada.
 
To further help meet this need, we hired a new counsellor, Elaina, who is currently working in a contract position providing online counselling. Read on for a more detailed introduction in this month’s insights.
 
The InBC Groups of CCEF students continue to grow, as we press on with our E4:12 Training programs. Some 25 students are currently engaged with the Helping Relationships course. Registration for September groups is now open!
 
Clare, a Westminster Seminary student from Calgary, interned with us for 2 weeks last month, and continues with this internship online. We have had several other requests from biblical counselling students to gain practical experience serving alongside our staff.
 
Stayed tuned for updates about our upcoming annual conference.
 
Looking forward to a successful second half of the year. Happy summer!
