The slaughter of wildlife is reaching unprecedented levels. Poaching of wildlife and elephants and rhino in particular, has escalated as a result of the rising demand for ivory in Asia and the Middle East. Some experts estimate that as many as 35,000 elephants a year are being slaughtered, 10% of Africa’s elephant population each year. Big Life Canada Foundation was established to combat the poaching of elephants and wildlife and to protect their habitat. Its current geographic scope is the Amboseli ecosystem, which straddles the Kenyan-Tanzania border, and is comprised of approximately 2 million acres. Big Life Foundation Canada will focus on establishing anti-poaching camps in the highest needed areas of Kenya & Tanzania.

Global Shore Opportunities is a non-profit mission organization run out of Southern Ontario, Canada. Since 2004, GSO has been involved in El Tizate, Guatemala. GSO began by sending Canadian university students to this small town for a two-month missions trip in the summers. Emphasis began in housing construction and where that is still a major component of our ministry there, the Lord has led us in the direction of Christian Education. Colegio Cristiano Avivando el Fuego, or, Fanning the Flame Christian school, has the goal of raising up disciples of Christ through the means of education. Ministered to and taught by a staff that fears and loves the Lord, we are seeing tremendous impact on the lives of the close to 200 students that currently make up our student body. Being tightly connected to the local evangelical church, the work of the Lord is very strong in this union of Canadian and Guatemalan brothers and sisters in the Lord. May Jesus be glorified through this work. Amen.
