      <image:title>Supported Ministries - Amber Church</image:title>
      <image:caption>About: We are a Reformed Church in Mission Gardens neighborhood, Winnipeg, Canada. Our roots reach back to the great Reformation of the 16th Century, when God caused His church to return to the fundamentals of the Christian faith, namely, Scripture alone, Christ alone, faith alone, grace alone, glory to God alone. These five statements of the evangelical faith lay at the center of  the Reformation theology that we confess. We aim to be a servant community, helping each other to grow in the knowledge of God, and to find healing in the eternal truths of the gospel of grace, reflecting the love of Christ, for God’s glory.

      <image:title>Supported Ministries - The Broken</image:title>
      <image:caption>About: The Broken, in Willmar, Minn., is a church for “the sick.” As in Mark 2:17: “Jesus said to them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.’” That is The Broken’s key verse, and it was co-founder Chris Alle’s main plea. He’d been calling out to God to provide a place for the broken—those who had walked paths of addiction, prison, and alienation as he had done—to find both complete acceptance and true preaching of the whole Word of God.
