Rev. Elaine Bumstead is coming to Rimbey to speak Oct. 20, 10:30 a.m. at the Rimbey Church of the Nazarene located at 5214 51 Street, Rimbey, Alberta.
Elaine is the Director of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada. She is also the Nazarene Representative on the CFGB (Canadian FoodGrains Bank) Board which is comprised of 15 Church and ParaChurch Organizations in Canada. I know that you will enjoy what our leader has to share concerning the area of ministry with which she is involved, especially Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Malawi.
People who come to hear Elaine Bumstead will be able to learn about NCM’s nutrition and food security project in 70 communities in Bangladesh; nutrition and food security project in 10 tea estates in Sri Lanka; Food for Work and climate change adaptation projects in southern Bangladesh; vegetable garden projects in Nepal; and a food aid project in central Malawi. Better access to food for over 100,000 people in Bangladesh. Vegetable gardens for 150 families in Nepal. Improved nutrition for 25,000 people in Sri Lanka.
These are a few of ways Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) is assisting people in the developing world through Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
“Our goal is to help people get the food and good nutrition they need to live healthy and active lives,” says Elaine Bumstead, NCM’s Director of International Projects.
“At the same time, we want to help people in Canada see how they can make a difference in the world by caring and sharing with others.”
Elaine Bumstead will be visiting churches across western Canada from October 15 to November 8 as a visiting missionary in the Canada West District. During the tour she will be speaking and showing videos about NCM’s international program, including projects funded through the Foodgrains Bank, a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end global hunger.
“As Canadians we are blessed, so we can be a blessing by helping others,” says Elaine Bumstead.
