Campus Improvement Projects

Evaluated Cost: $350,000 CAD

Built in the early 1970’s, all of our buildings have electric heat. The cost to retrofit every building to propane would be cost-prohibitive. Our current cost for electricity in Ontario is among the highest in all of Canada. We have chosen to address this situation by installing a 100 KW solar system on the roof of one of our buildings at the cost of $350,000.

This system, at current electric rates, will pay for itself in less than 9 years by generating a savings of $40,000 annually. As electricity costs increase in future years, so will our annual savings. The solar panels are guaranteed for 25 years. The life expectancy is in the range of 30-40 years before replacement is needed. Your financial investment will help to yield $1,440,000 in savings over the next 30 years. That is a great return on investment. That 1.4 million dollars in savings will be invested in the lives of young Canadians through the gospel of Christ.

Campus Improvement Projects

Project: Emergency Generators Project

Evaluated Cost: $75,000 CAD

Our property is located in the “snow belt” region of northern Grey County, Ontario, where we experience frequent ice and snowstorms. We frequently have 160 plus campers, students and staff on our campus. Emergency power is needed for heating, water and sewer systems, cooking and lighting during a power outage. This generator will help us be more responsible and effective, as we evangelize and disciple Canadian youth for the glory of Christ.

To continue to be effective in this mission we need to be able to provide reasonable care for all individuals on our property during an emergency power failure. It is important for the parents of students and campers to know that their young person will be well cared for during such an emergency. Your generous financial investment into this project will help Word of Life effectively enable true biblical life change in many young Canadians, to the glory of Christ.

International Projects

Project: Uganda Jinja

Evaluated Cost: $350,000 CAD

Since its founding in 2002, the ministry of Word of Life Uganda is having a tremendous impact on the lives of thousands of Ugandans! From Youth Camps to Community Outreach initiatives, the ministry of Word of Life is bearing fruit in schools and local communities. 

With its main campus in Kitende, Uganda (Approx. 20KMs from downtown Kampala), Word of Life continues to work strategically to see hope and transformation take place in the lives of many Ugandans.

We now have an opportunity to establish a Word of Life Centre in Jinja Uganda (Approx. 80KMs from Word of Life Main Campus in Kitende). Word of Life has found a location that would also allow the Centre to have a Church plant there to reach out to the community that desperately needs a church fellowship.

The goal is to have these funds raised by the December 1st, 2018 and begin the process of building the structures by January 1st, 2019.

Your participation in this project will help our ongoing effort to see lives and communities transformed in this country. Thank you.

Your participation will help our ongoing effort to keep our facilities up to date and useful for the Lord’s work for many years to come. Please join us, as God continues to change young lives for His glory on our Ontario campus.
