Karis honoured
Kelowna’s Karis Support Society has been given the first-ever ‘Hope and a Future’ award, by Okanagan Valley Pregnancy Care Centre (OVPCC). In a press release,
the organization stated: “Karis Support Society’s commitment to love in action has impacted the community . . . by providing
safe housing, support, life skills and training for people caught in
life-altering addiction and mental health challenges.”
OVPCC executive director Theresa White said Karis “fills gaping holes in care, most notably for mothers and sisters and daughters
who have fallen through the cracks.” The award was given at OVPCC’s gala banquet, held October 26 at Evangel Church.
Burn 24–7
Sean Feucht is founder and director of Burn 24–7, a Texas-based movement described as consisting of “more than 80 furnaces fuelled by endless hours of vertical and Davidic worship
and prayer, burning in 15 nations that release the indigenous sound of
adoration, intercession and love to God.”

Scenic photos
Photographers, take note. Evangel Church is looking for photos of Okanagan
locales, to use on the sanctuary screen as backgrounds for the Sunday morning
services.
Although photos become the property of Evangel, music minister Brian deViveiros
emphasizes that the images will be a real blessing to the church. JPEG format
photos can be sent to evangel@evangelbc.org.
