Elementary School Survey & Meeting
Proposed Elementary School at NKMB – Join us in the MPR room each Sunday from 10:20 to 10:50 to hear about the proposed new school and to answer your questions.
NKMB is considering adding a Christ-centered Elementary school onto our existing church building. On behalf of church council, we are reaching out to the church for their prayerful feedback. The questionnaire helps us to discern God’s leading. All responses to this survey will be kept confidential.

Sponsorship update
Sarah Vonleh arrived in Winnipeg in 2016 as a federally sponsored refugee from Danane, Ivory Coast. She was wrongly advised by local representatives in Danane to go on alone and her daughters would join her within one year. It has now been 8 years that they are separated. The girls are living in extreme poverty. Using her earnings as a cleaner, Sarah is able to send them a small amount each month to purchase food. As a church membership, we committed to reuniting the family. Our application to sponsor the oldest daughter Rita and her children Estelle and Baby Girl was approved and we await their arrival. The remaining 3 daughters, Oretha, Anna and Mary, are waiting in Danane. There is a new urgency to this reunion as Sarah is dealing with health concerns and is receiving medical care. She has been put on leave from her job. The separation is difficult for both Sarah and the girls. We are working with MCC to determine the best plan regarding sponsorship. We need your help! While we are awaiting new budget numbers from Canadian Immigration, please consider how you can contribute to meeting our funding goal. The funds must be in place by Dec 31 to avoid being bumped to the 2026 intake period. Please mark your donation Refugee Fund. Please keep Sarah in your prayers as she struggles and waits for her children to be by her side.
