Canada's Sesquicentennial
July 1, 2017
Happy Canada Day! Acts of Grace is proud to partner with Canadian charities working to alleviate the underlying causes of physical, material and spiritual poverty here at home. Did you know that 42% of all Acts of Grace grants have been to Canadian projects? We are so grateful for all of the effort made by each of these organizations to restore humanity towards the wholeness God originally intended. These charities are working tirelessly to bring sustained physical well-being and economic self-sufficiency as well as reconciliation to God through salvation and spiritual growth for Canada's marginalized people. In honour of our nation’s sesquicentennial, we will profile many of these projects throughout the week. Stay tuned to the Acts of Grace Facebook page for highlights of these organizations and their high impact initiatives! #Canada150

To commemorate #IDW2017, Acts of Grace has been highlighting some of the projects that the Foundation has supported overseas to alleviate the underlying causes of physical, material or spiritual poverty for the marginalized people of the world.
