We’re here for you
During December, it was my daily prayer that I wouldn’t lose focus on the real reason for the Christmas season: the hope of eternal life through our Saviour Jesus Christ. What a beautiful promise that is!
Even with this hope we have in Christ, I know life is not without challenges. I look back on the past year, thinking about stories of personal heartache, broken families, devastating wars, political unrest and so much more.
But amidst all this uncertainty, I want you to know you don’t have to face difficult times alone. Focus on the Family Canada is here for you. For 40 years, Focus Canada has offered encouragement and help to millions of families as they build their lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Our ministry aims to be the place Canadian families turn for trusted help and encouragement!
Here are some of the ways Focus on the Family Canada is here for you.
