Vancouver is indeed a beautiful
city, Im sure you would agree.
We live in a very favourable part
of the world with all its multi-
cultural diversity and variety,
choices and options. As with most
major cities life can get so full and so
busy we can easily neglect the things
that are of great value. I wonder what
it is that you value most in this life.
As we have seen and heard lately,
there have been countries that have
been devastated by natural disasters.
Food and water are of the greatest
need, a precious commodity in dire
circumstances. Such tragedy can
and does change what we count to
be important.
Political problems
abound, as they always
have, but we can be thankful we do not
live under a dictator or a tyrannical
government. Political unrest and fear
have a stronghold in the Middle East
and its neighbouring countries. Every
individual values his or her freedom,
but not all are able to experience it.
It may be family, friends, career or
possessions that we give a place
of importance, and rightly so, but
I wonder what value you put on
God and His Word, the
Bible. Perhaps you have
not given it much thought or felt a
need to look into what it is that manypeople have died for and
many more
have lived for. The Bible is the place
to start when we want to pursue the
truth. Is the truth something you
place value on?
God states that the truth about
Himself and the truth about ourselves
are the most valuable things we can
know. Its not always easy to see
ourselves as God sees us, for the
Bible tells us we have come short of
His standard.
The Bible urges us to think about
serious matters of life and death
so that we might be prepared to
leave this life and enter into Gods
presence. He has provided a way
through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Unless we accept Gods way of
salvation we will miss out on the
most valuable gift we could ever
posses. This gift is received by faith
to those who realize their need of
Gods forgiveness for their sin and
believe what He says in His Word.
The Bible says,
Valuable Things
The gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Stella was a senior journalist inChina. All her educational
back-ground and work experience were
based on the theory of commu-
nism. Before coming to Canada she
had never heard anything about the
gospel, the good news of salvation
through Jesus Christ.
In the spring of 2002, the second day after landing in Canada,
shewas invited to see a baptism at Carleton Gospel Hall. From that
day she
started to attend Sunday school and all the meetings there.
Later she be-
came a student in the English Bible circle, too. She came to
understand
that there is a God, but couldnt admit she was a sinner. She had
lots of
questions and doubts. It just seemed so hard to believe. She
felt that since
she wasnt young any more, she wasnt going to believe anything so
eas-
ily. She wanted to be very careful about any decision regarding
spiritual
things. She liked learning English from the Bible study but she
didnt
want to become a Christian or be baptized, because she feared
these
things might be dangerous to her family. However, Gods assembly
still
attracted her to keep coming to the meetings.
She got lots of help for daily life from the Christians around
her. After
a period of time studying in the class and attending all the
meetings, shefinally realized she really was a sinner and nothing
but the blood of Jesus
could save her from falling into hell after death. When the
Bible study
came to Matthew 17: 20 where Jesus said to His disciples, If ye
have
faithnothing shall be impossible unto you, the verse touched her
heart.
On August 15, 2002, she made her final decision and put all her
faith in
Jesus Christ. She just believed Him and from that moment she
was saved.

Iwas born in Fiji in 1964 and immigrated to theVancouver area
with my parents when I was 18months old. I was raised in the Hindu
faith. In 1973,
some men from the Carleton Gospel Hall visited our
neighborhood,
inviting youth to their Sunday School. After a few visits, my
dad allowed
My parents would take me to the Hindu home temples on special
occa-
sions but I still attended Sunday School. There I learned more
about the
God of the Bible and His Son, Jesus Christ and why He was so
important.
I learned a Bible verse in Sunday School, John 3:16; For God so
loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in
Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. When I was
about 11,
there was a death in the family and I saw how uncertain people
around
me were about what the future held. But this verse spoke of
knowing for
sure where I could be after I died.
I thought Christianity was a white persons religion, but I
quickly
learned that Christ gave His life for the whole world regardless
of skin
color. I was invited to a Sunday evening gospel service and
heard fromthe Bible about the life and death of Jesus Christ, why
He died on the
cross and our problem called sin. I learned that everyone has
this same
problem. Romans 3:23 was quoted, For all have sinned and come
short of
the glory of God. God was speaking to me and I felt accountable
to Him.
I really wanted to know that I would be in heaven when I
died.
On November 11, 1980 a Christian friend asked me Dan, are
you
saved? No one had asked that before. I knew he meant have I
received
Jesus Christ as my Savior? I couldnt answer Him. If I said yes,
I would
be lying to God and him. Later, alone in my bedroom, my mind
racing
with many thoughts, I got on my knees and started talking with
God. I
was sorry for rejecting His Son this long. I felt I had slapped
God in the
face when He offered me the gift of His Son. I said Thank you
for your
Son who gave His life on the cross for my sin. Right then, I had
a peaceinside and I knew I was finally right with God.

Letus introduce ourselves.Have you ever wondered about
that little building on the corner of45th & Tyne?
Our roots in this area actually go
all the way back to 1932 when we
started as a Sunday School located
on Kingsway. In 1953 we moved
to our current location at 45th
and Tyne and in 1966 began fully
functioning as a church with weekly
worship and gospel services. We
continue to this day as a small
group of Christians from this area
who simply try to follow what the
Bible says and apply it to our lives
and to how we function together.
We model ourselves after what the
Bible teaches us about the New
Testament Church, and try to follow
its pattern and simplicity.
Wed love to have you visit us.
You wont find anything flashy or
extravagant, just real people who
love God, His Word and try to live it
out daily. If youre wondering aboutChristianity, eternity, and
why
youre here on this earth, please
come find out what the Bible says.
Wed love to meet you and you will
be warmly welcomed.
