You would think that a line-up which includes Lee Strobel, Anne
Graham Lotz, Michael W. Smith, Frank Peretti, Joel Rosenberg,
newsboys, Lincoln Brewster, Robin Mark, Phil Keaggy, Matt Maher,
W. Paul Young (writer of The Shack), Francis Chan, Dr. Leonard
Sweet, Brenton Brown, Dr. Neil Anderson, and Sean McDowell would
be enough. You would think that more than 180 classes and
workshops covering everything from leadership to creative arts
to spiritual renewal would be plenty. But then, Break Forth
Canada adds an interactive ministry fair, a nightly Christian
festival filling downtown Edmonton with jazz, rock, folk, and
blues, and Comedy Hour. It’s no wonder it sells out in November
each year. Break Forth Canada 2010 will be held January 29 - 31
in Edmonton. People travel worldwide to join 15,000 in this
weekend of worship, renewal and equipping. Break Forth Canada is
sponsored by Break Forth Ministries, an evangelical ministry
that reaches world-wide with training conferences, concerts,
workshops and resources, including the fourth Break Forth
Finland in May 2010. The vast influence of Break Forth
Ministries was acknowledged when Alberta Venture Magazine
recently named founder Dr. Arlen Salte as one of Alberta’s 50
Most Influential People.

Currently, the Dream Centre has 125 men seeking life change and transformation.
And we’ve already seen 50 men graduate from our program and move forward to
integrate into our community this year, thanks to the restorative life lessons
they’ve learned in our classrooms. Many churches, corporations and people
contribute to and volunteer at the Dream Centre on a regular basis. Together,
this year we’ve served 100,377 meals and given 33,373 heads a soft pillow to
sleep on rather than the street. In May of 2008 we opened our Wellness Centre
and this year have provided 774 counseling sessions and 1438 case management
sessions. These men are learning the importance of being a positive force in
their community by "Paying It Forward." Through 19 different community projects,
our men have spent over 202 hours (year to date) helping widows, mowing lawns,
painting houses and much more.

If Adoption is a good option why do so few choose it?
Research shows that most people believe adoption is a good choice in an
unplanned pregnancy. Yet when women experience a crisis pregnancy only 2%
actually choose to put together an adoption plan. Those of us who work in the
field know that few women choose the option because of misinformation and
ignorance about adoption. There are also constant negative adoption media
portrayals. The reality is that while many believe that adoption is a good
option, most birthmothers go unsupported, unrecognized and unaffirmed.
The best advocates for adoption are birthmothers. Women who loved their
children enough to make the ultimate parenting choice. Choosing an adoptive
couple to provide for their child what they could not. That is why the Calgary
Pregnancy Care Centre, through a generous donation, has produced a documentary
called, Birthparent’s Speak and a training DVD package and book to help people
support, recognize and affirm the courage of this unseen group of heroes. Visit

As we approach the Christmas season we should take the time to count our many
blessings. We should also remember the less fortunate. CAUSE Canada would like
to take this opportunity to thank our numerous friends for the invaluable
assistance that they have given us over the year. On behalf of the many people
of the developing world who have benefited from the generosity of people like
you – we say thank you! 2009 has been a good year at CAUSE Canada and our child
sponsorship program accomplished the following milestones: We are now assisting
over 4,000 students in 5 elementary schools and have provided workshops to 100
West African educators improving their pedagogical skills. Thanks to our
collective efforts, more kids are staying in school and for the first time in
the history of rural Sierra Leone, half of the student population is female. We
would like our donors to enjoy a strong sense of satisfaction for the important
part that they have played in making this work possible. However, your
continuing support is critically needed. In the face of rising food costs,
threatened international aid budgets, and global warming, the poor need your
friendship now more than ever before! With God’s help we will collectively
accomplish many great things in 2010. If you have not already done so - please
join the CAUSE Kids team – sponsor a child today! We wish you a Merry Christmas
and a joyous New Year! Please visit www.cause.ca.

Christian Adoption Services helps families adopt in Alberta, and
internationally. They provide counseling free of charge to birth parents
considering adoption. They have profiles of Christian families who have had an
in-depth home assessment and are ready financially, socially, emotionally and
spiritually to provide for a child. Birth parents may choose a family, meet them
and have ongoing contact with their child. One birthmother said, "For me, the
knowledge that my child would definitely be raised in a real Christian home gave
me peace of mind and a tremendous relief." Christian Adoption Services provides
monthly courses on international adoptions to help prospective parents
understand the process, and the risks of adopting a child from another country.

It has been more than two years since Albertans welcomed CTS
Television into their homes – CKCS in Calgary and CKES in Edmonton.
Each week the viewing audience continues to grow, with people in
each city and the surrounding communities letting CTS know that
their prayers for television programs a family can watch together
have been answered. Family-friendly programs such as Family Matters,
Little House on the Prairie and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman reflect
positive moral values and continue to draw a devoted viewing
audience. Local CTS studios in Calgary and Edmonton bring live shots
of Alberta guests to original CTS programs such as Behind the Story,
On the Line and The Michael Coren Show, and each city is also
producing its own weekly program. In Calgary, New West Weekly
focuses on ministries, individuals and organizations making a
difference in the local community and beyond, and Edmonton’s E-vent
has a similar focus. Both of these locally produced programs also
contribute stories to CTS’s new national program, Always Good News,
with feel-good news stories from across the country and around the
world. CTS believes that media should be spiritually uplifting,
informative and entertaining – content chiefly animated by Christian
principles. You can partner with the CTS Cause and take a stand with
us to ensure a place for good, safe television in Canada. CTS:
television you can believe in! CTS Calgary can be found on Shaw

forgiveness for them. This is their only hope for a better future. The greatest
blessing in missions that we have been part of is reaching every city and
village of Israel for the past two years with evangelistic campaigns in Hebrew,
Arabic and Russian languages. Thousands have made a decision for Christ. You can

deadly, especially to those who are very young, old or poor. Through
Operation Eyesight, people are helped regardless of means, gender,
caste or creed. We work in partnership with medical professionals
and community development teams, building essential resources that
give all people, including the poorest, access to the help they
need. Our focus on high-quality, comprehensive eye care ensures
sustainable service for entire communities, with long-lasting
results. Thanks to private donations and public support, Operation

or opportunity for meaningful and fulfilling life experiences. "Rehoboth" is a
Hebrew name which means "making room" (Genesis 26:22). Just as the Lord "made
room’ for His people, so also the founders of the Association want to "make
room" for people who have been labelled as "developmentally disabled.’ Rehoboth
Christian Ministries exists to declare and demonstrate God’s love and grace to
people who have been denied full participation in the mainstream of life because
of their mental or physical disabilities. Rehoboth provides Residential,
Vocational, Relief and Outreach Services as well as a Summer Camp program for

and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. It is our belief that in

Nearly 40 per cent of the world’s 6,800 languages do not have
even one verse of God’s Word. While millions of people wait for a translation of
the Scriptures, they are cut off from fully understanding God’s love and God’s
ways. Wycliffe has a vision that by 2025, Bible translation will be in progress
for every language that needs it. Wycliffe, in partnership with others, is
working to help the Church translate Scripture, train field personnel in
linguistics and promote interest in translation. Church planters can’t
effectively share the Gospel and disciple new Christians without God’s Word.
Christian radio can’t beam Scripture into remote areas unless it has been
translated. Evangelism, training, worship—all ministries are hampered unless
people have a Bible they can really understand. For more information on current

2003 over 600 youth were contacted one-on-one by our staff and volunteers. We
are continually looking for new staff members who are willing to join us in
reaching Calgary’s youth through a variety of ministries that are fun,
challenging and rewarding. We are also always in need of volunteers who are
willing to be part of a cutting edge ministry that is making an impact on the
lives of hundreds of youth. Visit
