statement of faithThe name ''Haven'' implies safety - a place of rest for the weary. On the ocean, ships will seek refuge in a harbor because only there will they find shelter from a storm.Over the years, that is exactly how God has used Haven Ministries. Millions of people have found comfort and encouragement in our Christ-focused programs. However, providing comfort isn't the main reason we're here.If you've been listening for long you know we talk a lot about the ''great story . . . it's all about Jesus''. This idea is central. It's the north point on our compass and our message regardless of the topic.The ''great story'' aspect recognizes that human history - the past, present, and future - is a story that God is writing. We're all part of it, but ultimately the story isn't about us - it's about God.The main character is Jesus. It begins with him and ends with him. Every story points to him. He's the hero, the rescuer, and the only true shelter we can run to.When the storms of life seem ready to capsize us there is only truth that gives us hope - Jesus is in the boat with us and he is master of the wind and the waves
Indian Culture Center of CanadaGurdwara Nanak Niwas 8600, No.5 Road, Richmond is the third stage of the historical journey of Gurdwaras of Vancouver. First Stage was the gurudwara at 1866, 2nd Ave, Vancouver and the Second stage was Gurudwara at 8000 Ross Street, Vancouver.In 1970's due to some relaxations in immigration rules and due to the availability of family class visa , a large numbers of Sikhs immigrated to Canada to reside permanently.Because of a big increase in Sikh population in a short period of time increase in the number of gurdwaras was quite natural and necessary.Secondly a gap between the thinking of new comers and those living in Canada for three generations was not an unnatural. To avoid any ideological confrontation sons/grandsons of those Sikhs who came here in the beginning of 20th century decided to establish a new gurdwara to fulfill their religious needs. Pioneers and devoted families were contacted. After mutual consultations of donation of $5000 was made mandatory for each individual to be a member.But this dream perhaps would not have been fulfilled, should the great philanthropist of our community Bhai Asa Singh Johal and his wife Bibi Kashmir Kaur Johal have not donated generously
