    Reaching out locally and globally

    Missions

    Ongoing support

    When you give to SPL, 15% of your donation supports missions.

    Respond with compassion

    As the need arises, we also invite extra donations to specific one-time mission projects.

    Prayerful review

    Our volunteer missions committee reviews potential partnerships and recommends to Session (our elders) where SPL’s missions funds should be directed each year.

    Jesus is already at work. 

    Locally, that has included food banks, a local hospice, and a program for new Canadians. We  grow crops on our property that are sold and the proceeds sent to feed hungry people around the world.


    Globally, we have helped a sister church in the Dominican Republic run a day camp for marginalized kids; supported women in Northern Ghana become self-sufficient; and contributed to programs that eradicate tropical diseases in poor communities.


    We want join Him in transforming lives and restoring communities around the world.

    Partner Missionaries

    When we choose to fund a missionary partner, we do so with a long-term commitment in mind so that they don’t have to worry about our funding support from year to year. Our current missionary partners include:

    SPL Organizational Partners

    As a church, we support the kingdom work of other organizations and churches in Canada and globally. Here are some of the organizational partners with whom we have long-term relationships.

    Effect Hope, Canada

    Effect Hope is the only Canadian Christian global health organization exclusively focused on serving the people affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Effect Hope delivers programs that address wellness in a holistic way. This includes physical and mental health, social wellbeing, and breaking cycles of poverty.

    New Song Church, Hainamosa, Dominican Republic

    New Song Church in Hainamosa is the most significant long-term organizational partner that SPL has. We have had the privilege of sending some of our teens to Hainamosa to learn about discipleship in a majority-world country. We continue to support this church, and especially its leaders Jose and Gloria Lopez, in their creative efforts to make a difference in the lives of the very poor communities surrounding them.

    Ghana Rural Integrated Development (GRID), Northern Ghana

    SPL has supported GRID’s Babanayaa project, helping vulnerable women become self-sustaining through peanut farming. More recently, members of our church family have been connected with the launch of the Leyaata Hospital in northern Ghana.

    Life in Christ (LinC) Ministry

    LinC is committed to spreading God's love to refugees, immigrants and newcomers to Canada as they adjust to their new life. LinC carries out its ministry through established English-speaking churches in Canada.

    Teacher Mentors Abroad, Dominican Republic

    TMA supports the training and professional development of teachers in underresourced areas in the Dominican Republic. Their commitment to sustainability has led them to invest in training trainers in the DR so that mentorship opportunities emerge locally.

    Canadian Foodgrains Bank, Leaskdale

    Each year local farmers volunteer their time and equipment to raise crops on our church acreage. These crops are then sold and proceeds are donated to the Canada Foodgrains Bank (CFGB), which is involved in humanitarian and food security projects around the world. Please read our update on the Fall 2022 crops here.
