Annual Training for Nehemiah Vancity’s Leaders – China

Each year for the past 3 years I have traveled to Hong Kong China to work alongside an expert in Opium Addictions/Recovery among the poor in Hong Kong China with Jackie Pullinger Author of Chasing the Dragon. Jackie has effectively been helping those with Opium addictions and criminal pasts walk out of bondage and into new life through a relationship with Jesus Christ for over 40 years . In addition Jackie Pullingers Ministry St Stephens Society HK partners with Dunamis Ministries in Germany Psychologists who specialize in the area of Inner Healing/Deliverance. Through a Combined effort between the two Ministries they are able to offer an exclusive inner healing/deliverance training session in HK China.

Nehemiah Vancity vision is to reproduce these modules of Recovery right here in Vancouver’s Down Town East Side which is why each year I feel it is necessary to travel into China to learn and develop these skills to impart here in Vancouver as well as our other global initiatives. This year Nehemiah Vancitys Chairman Evan Powroznik is also going to Hong Kong China to participate and observe this successful recovery model. In Addition I feel it is essential to establish a broader reach in regards to global missions through our partners in Asia. Last year I felt led to spend time at the YWAM base in China & will be doing so again this trip to continue to build relationship & focus on sending others into the Country that we are partnered with long term.

In the meantime Ian Sheh Nehemiah Vancitys Creative Chair will be handling any requests or inquiries for a next few weeks you may contact him at iansheh@gmail.com .

Historymaker 2010 – Youth and Young Adults Conference

Nehemiah Vancity is proud to support “Historymaker 201o” Youth and Young Adults Conference taking place at the Langley Events Centre on May 21-23.

The theme is “FEARLESS” The Scriptures say that “God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7) We are praying that God would empower young people with His Spirit, giving them a fearless boldness as they serve God and rescue their generation for Christ.

Our guest speakers for the weekend include Bob Lenz from Life Promotion Ministries and Steve Osmond from First Assembly in Calgary, Alberta. Both of these men are incredible communicators with decades of youth ministry experience and a passionate and timely message to share with this generation. I know your young people will be challenged and inspired. Our desire is that HM be more than simply a one-off weekend, therefore we have intentionally designed the weekend with the benefit for the local church in mind. Most youth leaders who come consider HM to be a key part of their own discipleship process.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Langley for HM2010!
Ben Johnson, Director

When I go into Haiti I am blogging my journey and will be capturing images and video to share with supporters. Behind me is an amazing creative team who will be updating my blog while I am on the ground in Haiti. This is a great way to follow the progression of this exciting project and learn how you can be involved.

Here is a brief overview of our Current Haiti Project.

Working Project Title: Joshua’s Village

Objective: To develop a “village” for abandoned, orphaned and neglected special needs and at-risk children….essentially, for the last and the least of the last and the least.

Essential Elements:

- Teaching hospital

- Playground (made from recycled materials )

- School

- Mission compound

- Housing

- Dining

- Latrines

- Garden

- Farm

Purpose: To provide a desperately needed long term solution for the current struggle to find adequate care for the hundreds and potentially thousands of special needs at-risk children left to fend for themselves in Haiti.

Inspiration: 12-year-old Cerebral Palsy patient Joshua Emmanuel. Found face down on the street next to his mother who was using him to beg for money in the Port au Prince, the staff at Sacred Heart hospital rescued him and saved his life. When the hospital was forced to close because of financial issues, SafewaterNexus was asked to help find Joshua a permanent home where he would be loved and cared for. In a matter of days, SafewaterNexus was able to navigate the complicated red-tape of UNICEF paperwork, vet a special needs children’s home in St. Louis du Nord in Northern Haiti, and arrange for his transportation. Joshua was finally approved and transported to his new home Friday, April 2 by Sacred Heart and SafewaterNexus staff. Joshua had never really known love, and now he’ll never go a day without it for the rest of his life. In light of the smooth process SafewaterNexus was able to develop for Joshua’s long term care, they have been asked by Haitian government and international human rights groups to find housing for other special needs and at-risk children in Haiti. SafewaterNexus has access to a 20-acre piece of property just outside Port au Prince, and has chosen to dedicate this land to answering this massive need.

Distinctives: Will design and construct the project with environmental engineers, and will include solar power and recycled building materials. Will also include a garden and farm to enhance sustainability. Also planning for special needs children who have not been totally abandoned, but are living with families that do not have the necessary tools available for proper care and development. In these cases, we will have a separate area of shipping container houses built. This will allow their children to participate in the specialized program, and allow for the family to avoid be split up.

Needs: ( in Haiti ) Various medical personnel, counselors with pediatric trauma experience, educators with special needs experience, engineers, social workers, agricultural experts, builders and general teams to just spend time with children and help with environmental development

Needs: ( in Vancouver ) Sponsors for immediate needs, tents for Steph Forster to take down ,Solar Energy Contacts, Residential Builders & Developers that would be willing to Sponsors materials or personnel to assist with this project.
Thank you very much for supporting this project, I look forward to your response.
