  • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2012 - SOLVING THE KNOWLEDGE PROBLEM IN ME (4)

    For several days we've been considering the challenge of the hard choice -- to try to know enough to run our own life or give ourselves into the care of an all-knowing God's.  Long ago King David wrote some words that describe how good God's words and plans for us really are.  We can...

FEBRUARY 2012

Offering hope support and healing through Jesus Christ as we reclaim the gift of our lives from addictions and destructive lifestyles.

It's definitely winter weather -- mostly rain here in Vancouver but bitterly cold none the less.  Rain bites when it comes down and who knows when snow will fly.  It's a tough time to be outside or anywhere, struggling with addictions and poverty in many ways.  Here at Partners in Hope we try to be friends who stick together when the journey is tough. 

We've tried to fill this website with information that provides for practical needs of those feeling vulnerable and offer ways for all of us to learn and share together.  If you or someone you love is in need, click on any of the coloured links below to check out our resources or contact our office for further information.    

We've loaded this website with lots of  helpful information for you as you take steps towards making important changes in your life. Browse around the site and anywhere you see a  coloured link that interests you, click on it and you're likely to find some helpful information or an encouraging story. Read the most up to date news on the blog (see PiH Community News blog on the lower right of this page).   Elsie Quick explains more about Partners in Hope in the following video:

Discussion Details - Squamish:  Soft addictions can be habits, behaviors, moods or thought patterns. Many soft addictions involve necessary behaviors like eating, reading, and sleeping. They become soft addictions when we overdo them and when they are used for more than their intended purpose. We use them to satisfy a surface want but because they are not God's way they actually block how He wants to satisfy a deeper need.   View or Download "Step 5 - The Exact Nature of My Wrongs"

Discussion Details - Vancouver: "God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone. Together with God, any difficulty can be worked out and overcome." But my life is filled with problems.  God wants to help us. He wants to restore us. He wants to give us abundant life, filled with love and joy and peace and hope.  It’s available to us today. View or Download "Life Affirmation 3"
