The Embassy, Humber College

Trevor Gingerich

The Embassy exists to help students discover hope, purpose, and life to its fullest through the message, mission, and living person of Jesus Christ.  It's a place where students can gather to worship regularly and be exposed to biblical teaching that's applicable to their surroundings and pertinent to thier unique stage in life.  Although studies show that large numbers of Christian young people turn away from faith during post-secondary education, Trevor is actively working to reverse these statistics. He believes that our Canadian colleges and universities represent mission fields that require missionaries. and links, or connect data from your collection to display dynamic content.

Asian Outreach, Mongolia

Noel Hutchinson

With 36 percent of the population living below the poverty line, Mongolia is a third world country left in decay following the 1991 fall of Communism.  Asian Outreach's Education and Community Development programs provide literacy classes, small business loans, and training for poor and needy families.  On the spiritual side, prior to 1990, there were only five known Christians in Mongolia.  That number has now dramatically increased to over 60,000.  Asian Outreach has been closely involved in that change, training over 85 percent of Mongolia's Christian leaders through their Leadership Training programs.
