"Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago."
Isaiah 25:1
After a long wait, we fully reopened our after-school programs in person with an increased number of children in the fall of 2022. We are thankful for God’s love and faithfulness in keeping our relationships with the children and families. In the past year, Toronto City Mission increased community engagement by being present at the local school whether by volunteering or picking up the children after school. We also had more opportunities to share about TCM ministry at various supporting churches. Through these partnerships, we have had the blessing to get to know more families in each community and invite them into a relationship with a great God, who offers eternal hope! We praise God for your support so that children, youth, and families impacted by poverty are able to find true hope in knowing Jesus Christ as their everlasting Father!

For this year, TCM staff and families were excited to have a Christmas Celebration in person! We had delicious meals, sang songs together and heard the Good News of Jesus Christ. We also reconnected with interns and children from the summer.
Through the Gift of Christmas, the children experienced the warmth and love from the TCM staff whose hearts are rooted in Christ. Regardless of their financial circumstances, we pray that the families we encounter will experience Jesus as their best gift of Christmas...
As a supporter of Toronto City Mission, you played an important role in supporting children to attend our after-school programs, where they were able to find their identity and worth in Christ. They learned to build loving relationships with friends and staff as they reflected upon God’s Character. They also learned about our faithful God, a God who keeps His promises to children like them. We express our genuine appreciation for your generosity and support.
Here is the recap video of TCM’s 2022 Christmas Celebrations held in Flemingdon Park, Kingston-Galloway and Jesse-Ketchum.

During the Fall 2022 term, Abigaille and Karen, Outreach Workers at the Jesse-Ketchum community, witnessed God’s transforming work in the KIC program. Jason was one of the first children who joined the Jesse-Ketchum program but would avidly avoid worship or bible time. However, last October, something changed...

Before joining TCM, Min worked as a nurse
serving her community. Through patient
encounters, she realized her true passion
was serving marginalized populations by
understanding the struggles and challenges
they faced on a daily basis. When she heard
about TCM, she knew her spiritual passion
aligned with TCM’s mission. Min hopes to
use her passion for storytelling to share
about God’s transformative work in the lives
of families impacted by poverty.

Executive Director Perspective:
Happy New Year from Toronto City Mission
|
The beginning of the new year is always a time to review the past year and make plans for the future. The past cannot change, but we can certainly learn from our mistakes.
The Bible teaches that our most hopeful future is in God’s loving hands. Philippians 4:4-7 provides us with 3 Godly goals for this year. First and foremost, we are reminded to rejoice in our relationship with Him (v. 4), secondly, we are asked to reflect Jesus’ gentleness (v. 5), and finally, we are prompted to rest in God’s loving care (v. 6-7).
We pray that in the coming days, our service and efforts to families impacted by poverty will lead to deeper relationships, deeper engagement, and deeper and more frequent opportunities to share God’s love in word and deed.
