"Urban Mission Toronto was amazing! I don't think any of our team was prepared for what we would experience. The people we met in St. Jamestown were thrilled to have us come and help in their community. Many times we were asked where we were from and why we were there. It was a joy to be doing something "out of the ordinary" and to see people touched by it. I believe God gave the entire team servant's hearts and a real joy in doing for others even in the simple things. The mixture of ages on the team was a real blessing and I think it helped open everyone's eyes to different things. Most of all I believe God touched our hearts for the people." - Mike Dale, Ajax Community Church
"UM Toronto is a great opportunity to see the city through the eyes
of Jesus. It creates a moment in time where young and old can serve
Jesus and the people he loves in a meaningful way. With the assurance
that 'small things done with great love can change the world', why not
join a team and see what God can do through you in a weekend plunge?" - Ed Willms, Gateway Community Church, St Catharines
"I loved the way UM Toronto allowed a 2 year old to serve beside an 18 year old and a 70 year old. We all had so much to learn from each other." -Daniel Sangi Im, New Life, Ottawa
"The week-end with Urban Mission Toronto was a jam-packed experience for our whole family. We met people from many different cultures with different strengths and struggles. These people. and the Ignite team members, had an impact on all of us. Our shared experiences with our family and church team has helped us to grow closer and to understand each other more. We learned more about what 'mission' is and are hoping to be able to put that learning into practice in our home church." - Lynette Eulette, The Dwelling Place, Kitchener
"Loved the opportunity to interact with people from all walks of life and cultures." -Dan Parkinson, Waterloo MB Church
"I met my goal of meeting people from over eleven nations. It was strange to meet someone from Tibet and Napal in the same day. There was one lady who thanked me with her eyes." - Lowell Allison, Ajax Community Church
"Urban Mission Toronto was a superb opportunity to minister on a multigenerational team to bless the people of St. Jamestown. The weekend was over too quickly and all I could think about was being together again to see what else God could do through a group of people who know him and want to demonstrate his love to those who don’t." - Lynda Allison, Ajax Community Church
"I had an amazing time at UM at St. Jamestown. The reason I enjoyed myself is:
- Playing games with the other kids there
-
Being used as a servant of God
- The St. Jamestown Festival and 50 cent bbq
4. Helping people
- I made friends with some of the other kids.
And that is why I would enjoy going to IGNITE or going to another missions trip." - Jesse Packard, Ajax Community Church
