The Bible says that all fatherhood comes from God (Ephesians 3:14-15). But so many sons on earth endure fallible, absentee fathers who fail to provide direction, counsel, encouragement, or love. Many sons also lose nurturing fathers in tragedy, so they, too, are left without guidance.

Jonathan was delighted to have the opportunity to be a guest speaker at Fox Harbour for the Advocis Atlantic School this week where advisors come together to sharpen their skills and share knowledge.

On June 8, 2019 our Eastport team of family and friends participated in the Scotiabank Bluenose marathon to support some fantastic charities. The organizations we focused on are; Teen Challenge, Souls Harbour, Youth Unlimited and the AOJ school in Guatemala.

We are so incredibly grateful for the people in our lives here at TC!!!! We are thankful that our friend, Jonathan Lewis has been bringing the "3S's" (Steak, Sports and Servants Hearts) to us for several years.
