The Board of Missions has agreed to co-sponsor two single Eritrean refugees presently at camps in Ethiopia. They are the niece and nephew of a couple who attend Yorkminster Park Baptist Church. The couple, with their extended family and the Eritrean community in Toronto, have undertaken to provide the necessary financial and settlement assistance for the sponsorship period for these two young people. World Renew has agreed to be the Sponsorship Agreement Holder and the paperwork is being prepared. Please pray for the safety of these two young people and for a speedy approval process.

You will recall that the Church  has agreed to sponsor the adult son and daughter (who with their spouses and total of 3 children, including one newly born, are taking refuge in Lebanon) of a Syrian family living in Thorncliffe Park who was brought here about a year ago under the Government Assisted Refugee (GAR) program.  All the paperwork for these two families has now been filed with World Renew (the Sponsorship Agreement Holder). Please pray for a speedy approval process so that these two young families can come to safety soon.
