Today, more than ever, Christians are under attack. Christians have always been responsible for doing good work–creating hospitals, running hospices and homes for the homeless, the abused and those who cannot help themselves. The Christian Advocacy Society of Greater Vancouver is one such group–helping others, including mothers who are unexpectedly pregnant in a manner that is truly compassionate.
You can learn more about their work in this YouTube clip.

Their executive director Brian Norton and I have been emailing for some years now. He takes time, a lot of time, to compassionately explain to people who misunderstand the work of say, for example, crisis pregnancy centres, what they are all about. What they do–and don’t do. He wrote an entire report debunking some of the myths about crisis pregnancy centres.
So on November 3, if you are in the Vancouver area, come and support them. Do not come because I happen to be speaking, but because they do good work, which I also support. And because in the bigger picture, NOW is the time to show support for those Christians doing good work in a sphere that is public. This group is a worthy one for your valued charitable dollar.

Campaign Life Coalition has a fairly exhaustive list of crisis pregnancy centres in Canada. ( http://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/index.php?p=Pregnancy_help ). Although I am positive that the Christian Advocacy Society is a worhy charity, unless you live in Greater Vancouver there is probably a crisis pregnancy centre nearer to you that is also in need of funds. Just sayin.
True enough, Melissa.
