Good Neighbours

Our local missions programming is called “Good Neighbours”. This is a dynamic ministry that works to see lifelong change in our most immediate community. Through Good Neighbours, CRCF provides food programs, support groups, and other practical assistance to those in need. It is the goal of Good Neighbours that our community comes to embrace the love of Jesus as they see it in action.

If you need any assistance or would like to join our Good Neighbours volunteer team please contact us at goodneighbours@crcfchurch.com.

 The Community Fridge

The Community Fridge is a program of Good Neighbours that meets the physical needs of our community throughout Burnaby, New Westminster, and Burquitlam by providing them with fresh local foods provided in part by our amazing partners like Cobbs Bread. This ministry helps plug in many new members into our church and help them get the services they need such as Cariboo Road Coaching, Beginnings Course, Alpha, Freedom Session and more.

As a church, we strive to take care of all the members of our community! This ministry is theologically rooted in the parable of the lost sheep. God has never given up on us and we plan on following his example by reaching those who have yet to open their hearts to the Holy Spirit. We will love on our community by taking care of them, emulating Jesus’ example.

Africa Partner

MercyCare Malawi
MercyCare supports social initiatives such as providing, healthcare, education opportunities and economic empowerment to the citizens of Malawi. Malawi is one of Africa’s most densely populated and poorest countries. They also have a very large young population that needs the guidance of God to overcome the struggles of their circumstances. In addition to their benevolent works, MercyCare also fosters an environment for people who have never met the Lord to begin having a relationship with him.

One of the amazing programs we support is the after-school programs and summer camps that MercyCare operates. These programs focus on developing literacy & life management skills in an effort to help youth lift their communities out of poverty from within. Their summer camps are centered around three key concepts: Empower, Educate & Equip. For 10 days straight they are able to feed, educate and support over 150 kids. This is a great opportunity to tangibly provide for children in need.

Europe Partner

Jarovnice, Slovakia
Pastor Marek Olah is a Roma (Gypsy) minister working out of Jarovnice in eastern Slovakia. There is an explosion of the Holy Spirit amongst the persecuted Roma peoples throughout Slovakia and we are honoured to support the furthering of God’s kingdom there. This ministry began in 2017 with 6 people and has rapidly grown to over 150 new believers! The church plant in Jarovnice has helped to heal their community in physical ways through cleaning programs and addiction recovery but also, more importantly, has restored hope to many families who were previously in the dark.

We directly support the operating costs for Pastor Marek. One of the amazing things about this ministry is that it is focused on a cultural group rather than a nationality. The Roma are a severely oppressed people all throughout Europe and by the saving grace of God we will see this ministry flourish. In Pastor Marek’s own words “It is when things are darkest that Gods love shines brightest, and hopelessness gives way to light”.
