The Raw Carrot
The Raw Carrot is making a difference, one bowl of soup at a time. Their mission is to provide meaningful employment for people living with a disability or struggling with chronic mental health challenges by offering a supportive and flexible work environment. This has helped staff find stable employment and thrive at work.
The Raw Carrot operates out of church kitchens, spaces that go unused during the week. At Innerkip Presbyterian Church - one of the four Raw Carrot locations - the congregation has come together to support the company.
In giving employment to people who are often living on the margins, The Raw Carrot is sharing the hope of Jesus in people’s lives.
This Christmas, The Raw Carrot is expanding their products to more than just soup. A breakfast gift box with pancake mix, granola topping, maple syrup, and a spatula come packaged together in a box to make a gift with purpose.

Chad Martz
Chad recently connected with our 100 Huntley Street co-Host, Cheryl Weber, to bring an update on the ongoing work in Ukraine. Prayer is vital, ongoing help is still needed.
Chad has the privilege or overseeing seven different departments at Hungry for Life (“HFL”). He has been on 61 HFL trips which include assessments, monitoring, and leading teams.
Similar to a few other staff, Chad came to know about HFL through his former youth pastor and now Executive Director of HFL, Dave Blundell. Chad had little to no professional experience before starting with Hungry For Life, unless you call shooting a puck/basketball or hitting a baseball/volleyball as experience. He had always had a desire to work within the church, but never found a specific area until hearing about the opportunity he could have in assisting churches to become directly involved in sustainable community projects in developing countries. Since that time, Chad has gained a considerable amount of experience by travelling to 18 countries and conducting over 30 assessment/monitoring trips.
Chad is married to Mary, whom he met at bible school in Sweden; together they have one wonderful daughter. Mary has led many teams to her home country in the Ukraine.

Dr. David Jeremiah
In a world that seems to be spinning out of control, we need hope now more than ever. What if the life sustaining hope you need is found within the pages of the Bible?
Our world is packed with lies and loss of trust. Wars and rumors of war. Devastation and disaster. Pressure and persecution. Lawlessness and lovelessness. Some days it seems like bad news all around. And with bad news comes questions: "Why is this happening? When will it stop? What can we do?" And perhaps the most pressing of all: "Is this the end?"
In these hope-filled pages, bestselling author, pastor, and respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah focuses our attention not on the problems at hand, but on the hand of God. That's because Jesus Himself told us what to expect from this season of history when He delivered His Olivet Discourse—a significant sermon that scholars have called "the most important single passage of prophecy in all the Bible."
In The World of the End, learn how:
• The Bible has already laid the foundation on how we can live victoriously, even in difficult times
• Jesus not only calls Christians to a higher standard, but equips us with the tools and strength we need to confidently follow him daily
• The gospels contain the comfort you need to trust that God is in control and that his plan is still working to completion
With his trademark clarity, Dr. Jeremiah reveals exactly what Jesus promised to us—and what He expects of us—as we approach the World of the End.

John Graham
A phone call was the beginning of a big change in John's life. But it wasn't good news. He was told his wife was having an affair. When John confronted his wife Janet she asked for a divorce...she didn't feel loved or appreciated by him. John was devastated and cried out to God for help. Though not Christians at that time, they were directed to a pastor who agreed to counsel them. Janet gave the counselling 3 months...shortly into the counselling the Lord touched both their hearts bringing salvation, forgiveness, healing and a new beginning to their marriage.

Deaf people worship together at Hope Church Toronto West as Daniel Ramos joins the worship team in American Sign Language.
Many people in the deaf population feel isolated amongst hearing people. Barriers to being able to understand the service and a lack of people to connect with during fellowship can leave many people who are deaf at home.
Hope Church Toronto West has created a community of deaf believers who are seeking God and a deeper understanding of the Word.
Through the American Sign Language interpretation and opportunities for all to be involved in different ministries, the deaf people who attend Hope Church Toronto West say they feel welcomed and embraced at church.
