Update 1: Let's give them a hand!

We would have been hearing great feedback from you - THANK YOU. It reminded us that especially during this time of self quarantine and physical isolation, it would be especially meaningful for those who shared their stories so vulnerably and candidly, to hear from YOU.

We are asking you to send a note of encouragement, gratitude, inspiration, etc, to our podcast guests who shared their stories with us.

Please send your notes of encouragement, thanks, etc to podcast@mcco.ca or even better, leave a voicemail at 519-745-8458 ext 233. Toll free at 1-800-313-6226 ext 233.

(Please leave your contact information in case we'd like to get your permission to share your message in a future update.)

We are so grateful for people like Wayne (Ep 2: Wayne's World) who shared about his life and journey to stable housing.

There’s Patrick and his family (Ep 3: Refugees and Piano Lessons) who used music and language to stay connected to their culture after arriving in Canada as a refugees.

Or Maria (Ep 4: Radical Acceptance) who taught us the power of radical acceptance after two stints in prison.

And Israeli peace activist Sahar Vardi (Ep 5: David and Goliath) who had been imprisoned by her own government for advocating for Palestinian human rights.

Or crusty old MCC staff like Pete Olson (Ep 1: Being Jesus) who shared his testimony and how it challenged him to work with people who were made homeless.
