CHVN

Samaritan's Purse, through Operation Christmas Child, is sharing hope and changing lives throughout the year, not just at Christmas. 

"In November, of course, is when we collect the shoeboxes," says Lynette Loewen, the Regional Manager at Operation Christmas Child for Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northwest Ontario. "It takes us some time to process them all. Then we have to ship them to all of our countries. Sometimes we're dealing with 10 or more countries."

Join the CHVN family and the Winnipeg Goldeyes for Faith Night on June 7 at 6 p.m. at Blue Cross Park. 

You could win your way into the game and catch the action live and up close. 

We have 100 tickets to give away and they could be yours!

Don't miss your chance to watch the Goldeyes in action, and also listen to players share about their faith ahead of the game!

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace."

2 Timothy 4:13

I will never forget being aboard a huge troop ship sailing from Taiwan to America. A lazy afternoon led me to a book of poetry, which I began to devour with delight. I was suddenly struck with the realization that someone was staring at me. Looking up, I saw a fellow Marine who outranked me by a couple of stripes. I expected him to order me into some duty, but to my surprise, he asked: “Hey, Marine, you got any books with pictures in ’em?” Knowing him, he probably would have coloured outside the lines!

Traffic is clearing on Route 90 after a stuck train crossing arm caused major delays near McGillivray Boulevard on Monday.

The arms at the crossing were down for at least an hour, beginning late Monday morning.

Motorists were left in long lineups in both directions as traffic came to a standstill.

Several people contacted us through our talk and text line to report the issue.

The arms finally lifted just before 12:30 p.m., but delays are expected to continue as traffic slowly clears the backlog.
