Nic & Kara Moseley

Bonjour,

This post is long over due and my apologies to all my friends and supporters for not getting this out to you sooner. I'm just starting to get settled in my new place and have already started working at the Open Door here in Montreal. Here is a synopsis of what has happened from the beginning and who has made it happen for me to be here. I will be sending out more posts about the people that have helped make all this possible.

About two months before heading off to Montreal, I still hadn't found a sponsor to help me with donations and funding. I also was asked during a meeting with my pastor if I would have a state-side address while I would be in Canada. I decided to pray about it during the following week. God had answered my prayer within days;  Nic & Kara Moseley contacted me and wanted to know if I had a state-side address and offered their address.

Thank you Nic & Kara Moseley for allowing me to use your address as my home base in the United States, without it I wouldn't be able to maintain a bank account which helps me greatly with funding and bills made to my US accounts. The Moseley's are also helping me ship my personal belongings up to Canada.

Open Door located in Saint Stephen's Anglican Church.

This is where I feel called to come help serve the homeless and poor of Montreal.The Open Door, a day shelter and drop in center, is run by Emmaus Anglican Church. It has only 1 1/2 paid staff members and they have been known to serve nearly a hundred people a day. An average of 7 to 20 people volunteer on a daily basis at Open Door.  

Here are my new friends I had the pleasure of volunteering for at the Open Door, Caleb Clark the director (with the "Hammer of Discipline") aka Frodo, Brennan (sitting down) and Marie-Eve who is the work-study that is a great resource. With your help I look forward to working with them again.

Here is Jason (in the red shirt) who I was able to help get into a detox and rehab program outside of Montreal. I am here with Brennan and her husband David, Marie-Eve taking the picture who assisted me through the maze of  medical and social services there in Montreal. The process is pretty similar to the ones state side where I live but everything in Montreal is in French. I now know what it feels l to be the minority by only speaking "American English" aka Anglophone.
