Food Bank - Individuals Served Monthly

What is a food bank?
A food bank is a broad term for an organization
that acquires, stores, and distributes food to
hungry individuals and families in their community.
Food banks receive support from both public and
private initiatives, such as local food drives, um-
brella organizations, local farms and agricultural
programs, food and produce manufacturers and
other types of distributors.
Hunger in Ontario
Urban Areas — Hunger is also increasing in urban communities. Unemployment levels and
cuts to government funded programs are taking their toll. Urban Ontario hunger has
become a major issue that cannot be ignored. With the continued increase in the cost of
food and housing, and the loss of social assistance funding from federal and provincial gov-
ernments, we all need to work together to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food.

From the CEO
Blood, Sweat and Tears of Christian Faith The Christian faith brings its
own “blood, sweat and tears” to
those who would follow Jesus
Christ. Christ calls us to
discipleship. When we come to
Him, he takes away our burdens
of sin, guilt, hopelessness, and
our separation from Him.
The Mission verse is found in
Matthew 11:28, but read verse
29. God also calls us to “take
my yoke upon you and learn from
me.” It is not a yoke too heavy
to bear, for Christ bears it with
us: “for my yoke is easy and my
burden is light.” Matthew 11:30.
Christ calls us to follow Him,
regardless of the cost, and
however turbulent the path may
be. Choosing Christ is not to
take away the pain, but to have
Christ’s strength to cope with
that pain and have victory over
it.
Corrie ten Boom said, “the
worst can happen, but the
best remains.”
How beautiful our
Newsletter scripture
becomes in light of these
revelations.
Our volunteer editor of the
newsletter gave us Galatians 6:9
as our spiritual focus for this
issue.
“And let us not grow weary
of doing good, for in due
season we will reap, if we
do not give up”
It couldn’t be more fitting as we
have experienced plenty of
discouragements these past
months. But it is so good to
lean on Scripture like this.
It just keeps us moving forward!
When things seem tough, it’s so
easy to just focus on those
discouragements, but if we stop
and look back a wee bit, there
are plenty of blessings to count
for God’s work at OAM, and I
think you’ll agree when you read
of some of the Newsletter
updates in this issue.
I consider it a blessing during
these times to reflect and call on
God every day for strength,
wisdom and to challenge myself
to be ever faithful.
We have needs...that's for sure,
and God will move His people
to provide.
We have seen profound changes
happen in the Mission ministry
and we struggle with change,
don’t we?
Yet, I wonder about that be-
cause life is all about change.
Our goals change. Our age
changes. Our families change.
Fashion changes. Our whole
world changes, so we might as
well accept that change is part of
life.
The only constant is our founda-
tion on a God and a Faith that
never changes!
“Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday, today and
forever!” Hebrews 13:8
Isn’t that refreshing?
God has been so good to teach
us things and we do commit to
learning and growing in the Lord
and the ministry that He has
called us to.
Every time we help a mission
client in any way, whether it be
at the food bank, store, or
through our program, we “reap”
as the scripture says. When we
help people in our community
with very real discouragements,
it’s rewarding to bring a little
love and hope into their situa-
tion.
I pray that this issue will be an
encouragement to you, the
reader.
May you be blessed in the
updates and may you be chal-
lenged to hear from God, and
may this verse give you a fresh
outlook in difficult times as well.

“I am grateful for
the opportunity to
serve in these
areas of ministry
that I am
passionate about.”
Tim Albrecht

Mission Centre News Tim's Timbits
One recent and very re-
warding interaction with a
client occurred immediately
after our devotional time in
the morning with staff and
volunteers.
I had not had a significant
conversation with this cli-
ent prior to this interac-
tion. It was obvious as we
talked that he had been
listening to our Bible read-
ings and prayer time over
the past number of weeks.
They were beginning to
have an effect on him that
opened his heart to share
some significant issues. We
talked of the hope of
change in his life and the
potential of finding purpose
and meaning.
He asked for prayer. So
I’ve committed to praying
for him. I can’t mention his
name here, but would ask
you to pray for this man
and others like him who
are experiencing God’s
Holy Spirit stirring in their
hearts through what they
are hearing and seeing on a
regular basis at Mission
Centre.
Our clients are at a wide
variety of places spiritually.
I learn a lot from each
one…especially those who
require extra care and
grace!
Some have a strong con-
nection with a local church.
Some have been very hurt
in the church environment
and are wounded and afraid
to enter back in to any spir-
itual conversations. Others
are simply curious about
what makes us tick…why
do we do the things we do?
Others are so entrenched
in a life of addictions and
hurts that they cannot im-
agine anything different.
We’re here to help them
dream about the possibility
that they could be free.
On a personal note, I have
recently transitioned in my
role at Open Arms Mission.
For the past 5 ½ years I
have served in the dual role
of Pastoral Care & Mission
Management.
As of July 1, 2013, I have
moved to a part-time posi-
tion (3 days/week) at Mis-
sion Centre. This will al-
low me to focus more di-
rectly on pastoral care
needs at Mission Centre as
well as to continue as the
Ministry Leader for Cele-
brate Recovery.
I am grateful for the oppor-
tunity to serve in these
areas of ministry that I am
passionate about.
In this redefined role I will
focus on responding to the
spiritual needs of clients,
providing encouragement,
counsel, and direction.
I have been richly blessed
by the opportunities I’ve
had to get to know so
many clients, volunteers,
and community partners.
My kids have teased me and
wondered aloud, “Dad, do
you know everyone in
Welland?” as we drive
along Welland streets and I
name many of the people
we see.
As we move forward, I’m
continuing to pray that God
will help us all to dream in
such a way that His church
may thrive in the world as a
beacon of hope and light.

Running a Charity takes Money
and People! But there is more
to Open Arms Mission than
food distribution.
At Redeemed Goods, we have
both paid and volunteer staff,
receiving, sorting, transporting,
storing, cataloguing, selling,
cleaning and monitoring. At the
Ministry Campus, we are pick-
ing up, receiving, cleaning, sort-
ing, cataloguing, and gardening.
At the Mission Centre, the do-
nated food and hygiene items
need both staff and volunteers
to receive, sort, transport,
store and distribute effectively
but we also provide free coffee
and donuts/muffins each morn-
ing, we provide a listening ear, a
safe haven and counsel many
hurting souls. The office staff
are there to provide answers to
the “Where do I go for…”
questions for our clients. All of
these jobs take both money and
people. Our properties have
repairs, utilities, security and
other overhead bills to pay.
Meanwhile, we are funded sole-
ly on your monetary and item
donations and operate predom-
inantly by our volunteers!
We love items being donated –
bring them to the warehouse at
the Ministry Campus! Can you
give financially? – Great! Con-
tact me if you want to know
your options. Can you volun-
teer just 3 hours a week? –
PLEASE contact us – summer
scheduling is difficult and we
simply need more hands to
help!

In late May to early June, the Clarke-Ventresca Foot
and Orthotic Centres sponsored a sock drive
on our behalf.
Their clients were encouraged to bring in donations of
socks that would benefit our clients.
Through this drive, we received over
200 pairs of socks, which we are now distributing
through our Hygiene room.
The organizers plan to make this an annual event.

“Volunteering...has
taught me not to
grow weary
volunteering
because in due
time my rewards
will be … great.”
Redeemed Goods Blog Submitted by a Volunteer
The word to volunteer was
first introduced during the
1600’s where men would
volunteer for the military.
At that time they were paid
for their services.
In the 19th century,
younger people started
looking around and saw
that some folks were
disadvantaged and decided
to start helping the needy
in their communities. It
was in 1851 that the first
YMCA was created, then 7
years later the YWCA was
formed and women would
volunteer to sew supplies
for the army.
During the 20th and 21st
century, there was an
explosion of organizations.
With the great depression
one of the largest efforts
was put forth with
volunteers organized to
help the needy.
During WWII volunteers
shifted that focus to
providing for the military
and on the home front.
After the war people still
helped out at their local
communities but it started
to become a worldwide
campaign.
Still today volunteering is
considered a selfless act,
which in turn gives the
volunteer a sense of worth
and admiration. Today
when you volunteer, you
are not paid but it can
change you forever. The
feelings you get from
volunteering are sometimes
worth more than a pay
cheque.
Unfortunately volunteering
decreases every year. With
less time and more to do
we are left asking “where
did all the volunteers go”?
In a world of NOW – I am
reminded of the scripture
“And let us not be weary in
well doing: for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Galatians 6:9
There is good in helping
out our community, taking
our eyes off ourselves, and
helping out our fellow man.
The above scripture is
about doing something
good - then waiting - and at
the right time GOD will
provide. Whether it’s
something as simple as
helping a customer find a
carrot peeler at Redeemed
Goods, or having the
opportunity to witness to
someone at Redeemed
Lives, or just even offering
a smile to another person
at the Mission Centre; God
can use us to further His
kingdom.
Volunteering at the Mission
Centre and then at
Redeemed Goods has
taught me not to grow
weary volunteering
because in due time my
rewards will be, and have
been great.
Do you want to change
your life?
Call today, and ask how
you can volunteer.

Cutting Costs
P A G E 7 P U L S E
Don’t you just love reading
these Newsletters? They are
so full of stories, inspiration and
information!
Did you know that this newslet-
ter is actually created in full
colour? Many look forward to
the newsletter to read the sto-
ries of God’s victory in people’s
lives, the upcoming events and
reports on other ministry areas.
For us, it is a vital tool for our
communication with all of you.
This is something that is a
regular and essential part of the
work at Open Arms Mission.
Over the years, our recipients
have grown to massive numbers
requiring us to copy in black
and white. (About 700 people
receive our Newsletter quar-
terly)
We have recruited volunteers
that fold the newsletters, stuff
them in envelopes, address and
stamp them. This has been
how we have saved money.
Now, with rising paper, printing
and mailing costs, we are
re-evaluating where we can
save even more money.
We could cut our costs signifi-
cantly if we look to technology.
We could email a notification
that a new Newsletter is availa-
ble, providing a link to the
Open Arms Mission Website
that you would simply click on.
On this website – you can look
at the newsletter in full colour,
and print it out if you so
choose.
Maybe, in the future, we could
make the newsletter interactive
with video links, online registra-
tions and web links. This will
also inspire other reading and
exploring through our website
– maybe you’d even ‘bookmark’
the site as a ‘favourite’.
Currently less than 160 people
visit our website monthly – 70%
of whom are returning visits.
With four Newsletter mailings
and two Appeal mailings each
year, we could save thousands
of dollars if just 50% of you
opted for electronic communi-
cation.
Many of you use email, have
computers and internet –
although, some are not so keen
on it.
If you want to continue receiv-
ing our mailings – DON’T wor-
ry – that option will always be
available. BUT… if you use
email and would like to help cut
our costs, we’d like to ask you
to take a few minutes and send
Anne Visser an email at
In the body of the email simply
give us the following
information:
1. Name or names that
will be represented by
your email address
2. If a couple want to
receive their own email
notifications – please
state the other email
address
3. What types of commu-
nication you desire to
receive by email i.e.
Newsletters, Appeals,
Thank You’s, Event
Notifications etc.
If you want to include other

Pelham Community Church Supporting OAM Ministry Campus Barn Restoration
1st Annual Food Drive A food drive was organized
for June at our farm ware-
house. The shelves are
bare and the need for food
is tremendous.
We targeted the Christian
community, contacting all
the churches on our mailing
list for support. We
arranged for DJ music,
games, BBQ, prizes and fun.
Unfortunately the response
was poor. Two churches
showed up with food and
they won the prizes. Two
private donations were
received later, so it made
for a short event.
We now know, it was a bad
idea to do this in June as
we were faced with a
Triathlon going right past
our location with road
closures. On a positive
note, a number of churches
and individuals made dona-
tions the following week
which was encouraging.
Zachary Braam used his
10th Birthday to bring us a
load of food collected in
lieu of gifts at his party.
We have some great kids
around!
We learned some things
and plans are already taking
shape for a better event
next year. Meanwhile,
search your heart and make
a food donation and help
our Food Bank needs.

This is one of many initiatives
happening at the farm to fulfill
the vision of the Ministry

from these stories:
1. I am able to speak to
someone even though I’m
trembling inside about the
hurt and broken trust.
Very nervous and scared. I
do it with God next to me.
2. “I made a covenant with
my eyes not to look lustfully
at a woman.” Job 31:1
But the best part is that I
do not do this alone.
3. Through CR God has
helped me journey toward
a life of purity…
4. It is marvelous to come
out of denial about my
co-dependent; self-
defeating behaviors…I am
so thankful to my ever
present Savior, Redeemer,
Jesus Christ, and the Cele-
brate Recovery program.
5. I used to live in constant
fear and in isolation. Now I
live free and in God’s
perfect peace.

From One Pumpkin
to Another
A woman was asked
by a co-worker,
“What is it like to be
a Chris4an?”
She replied, “It’s like
being a pumpkin.
God picks you from
the patch and brings
you in and washes
all the dirt off you.
Then he cuts off the
top and scoops out
all the yucky stuff.
He removes the
seeds of doubt, hate
and greed.
Then He carves you
a new smiling face
and puts His light
inside to shine for all
the world to see.”
Calling on YOU!
The appeal for financial support can never end.
We have fallen on straining times this first half of the year as the economy continues to affect all of us. We are doing
an amazing ministry in our community but honestly, we need more support. Demand is very high.
Prices are constantly going up. We can’t buy utilities, materials, resources, or help at yesterday’s costs.
Everything goes up!
We are faithful to the Newsletter Scripture choice for this quarterly Newsletter. God will provide and He will do it
through many of YOU! Please consider a love gift this season. As Thanksgiving nears, let’s show how thankful we are
for what we have and be willing to share so others can be thankful too.
The needy continue to come to our door. They come looking for a meal or a food/hygiene bank support. They come
looking for a place to be safe and quiet, share in a coffee and a donut. They come looking for a friend, a listening ear.
They come to our recovery programs looking to change. They participate in service to try and give back.
This is an oasis of Hope.
This is your chance to make a difference and speak Hope into the lives of those we serve. Visits start with connections
that soon turn to relationships which always produce opportunities to share the love of Jesus.
You, as a supporter are a big part of that life changing process.
We thank you for your kindness in the past, and we call on you again to give, so we can give.
We need your help!
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap,
if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9
Let me Share my Blessings by Helping Others!
