Global Newsbite - Canada DayThe World Needs More Love and Justice 'The world needs more Canada,' said music artist Bono from U2 at a Global Fund conference years ago. I would add that the world could use more Canadians who are surrendered to God and in so doing, share their lives and resources for His local and global purposes. The world needs more love and justice! As we serve one another in love, 'may our glowing hearts see thee rise, The True North strong and free!' May we use our freedom as a catalyst for others who are oppressed. I received this greeting from an Afghan friend, who gave me permission to share. Happy Day of Canada! 24 hours of reminding each other about those who offered their deepest generosity, unconditional support, and the kindest hospitality to their offspring and loved ones of those who had to rescue their lives while Canadians layered their heartfelt genuine support unwaveringly to share their lands and resources so that everyone co-exists with love, peace, and care. This day is a good excuse to celebrate our togetherness and grow side by side under the healing power of both indigenous wisdom keepers, and the spiritual diversity of settlers. Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer, Hold our dominion within thy loving care; Help us to find, O God, in thee, A lasting, rich reward, As waiting for the Better Day, We ever stand on guard. Final verse from our original Canadian Anthem. Originally posted Canada Day 2023 Thank you, each and every one of you, for supporting Refugee Friendship Month and our GiveCambodia campaign. Your contributions are not just financial, but also expressions of love and justice, making the world a better place. We couldn't do it without you. Perhaps you may want to take a minute to make a cup of coffee or tea and read more about what is happening with Tenth Global in this Canada Day edition of Global Newsbite. |

Sweet UnityReflections from Sarady's Visit to Tenth How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! Psalm 133:1 TPT We recently had the delightful pleasure of experiencing sweet unity with Cambodia when Mission Dove Director Sarady spent nearly three weeks with us. Impacted by Sarady's Presence: Guided by the grace of the Holy Spirit, Sarady touched many lives and profoundly impacted our church community. Her visit was filled with powerful testimonies of faith, strength, and transformative change. Sarady’s presence bridged the gap between our cultures, showing us that we are all part of the Body of Christ. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are united! Despite cultural differences, languages, and distant locations, we share a common love for our Lord: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are called to care for each other and embody Christ's love in, through, and among us. A Transformative Visit: During her time with us, Sarady shared her inspiring journey at various events, including church retreats, the mom’s group, services at Tenth Church, Business is Mission events, and JustBags. As a female leader, Sarady works to create spaces for women and children, fighting oppression and advocating for justice in Cambodia. We certainly know that God has placed her in Cambodia for such a time as this. Her visit to our community has blessed us and given us a new perspective of God’s global work. Bridging Cultures and Building Community: A memorable moment of her visit was when Sarady and many from our community cooked Cambodian curry together. More than 120 church members experienced this memorable time together at our Mount Pleasant site, hearing more about Sarady’s story of transformation in Cambodia over delicious curry. The room was filled with enjoyment and curiosity about Cambodia and global missions. A huge thanks to all who contributed to making this event happen! Moving Forward Together: Let us continue to support our international partners, pray for their missions, and seek ways to make a difference both locally and globally. Together, and through His power, we can bring transformative change to our societies, communities, and nations. Call to Action: If you feel called to participate in missions or have the longing of knowing what missions is about, please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] for further involvement. Your support can significantly impact continuing God’s work here in Vancouver, Cambodia, and around the nations. You are also welcome to subscribe to our newsletter at www.tenth.ca/ministries/tenth-global or purchase JUSTBAGS items to keep supporting Global Missions. Thank you for joining us on this journey of love and justice. Let us remain inspired by Sarady’s story of faith and perseverance and united in our mission. May God continue to bless the work of your hands, Ana Velazquez Picture: Sarady and Ana together during Sarady's visit to Vancouver For more infomation visit:

Once a Refugee, Now a LeaderChanty's Story from Cambodia Born in poverty in a refugee camp, Chanty's life did not showcase much hope until an Alongsider came alongside her. Today, she walks alongside many children who used to walk alone and has inspired more than 60 others to become Alongsiders. Chanty was once a refugee; now, she is a leader. Once, she fled for her life; now, she offers refuge for others. Tenth has walked alongside Alongsiders since 2007 as the movement has grown from a small group of youth to a global movement in more than 30 countries impacting more than 40,000 youth and children.
