Local Ministries we support
Cultivate Sarnia Grow Project
The Cultivate Sarnia Grow Project is a combined effort of the PAOC churches in the Sarnia section, in partnership with ERDO (Emergency Response & Development Overseas) of the PAOC missions ministry.
In 2020 we were provided land from area farmers who planted seed and harvested a crop. Our $25,000 investment yielded a harvest in profit and then was multiplied by the Canadian Government through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. This multiplication resulted in $250,000 of aid going to a refugee camp in Uganda to provide assistance in the basic necessities of life.
