Ejay is an Urban Missionary to Downtown Toronto through Mission Canada, the local missions agency for the PAOC. He believes his marginalized friends cannot be saved through programs. Loving people with deep compassion is a precious calling. This is why he believes in serving in whatever capacity he is able in order to meet these needs. Ejay, and his wife Cheryl, serve to be a bridge to their neighbours both rich and poor, building community amongst them and practicing radical hospitality.  They do this so they may have a glimpse into the kingdom of God.

My name is Bernice,

I am the Logistics co-ordinator for Our City Conference. I work at Inner City Outreach as a Program Coordinator working with at-risk youth in the inner city of Jane and Finch.  I love working with children and youth, and creating an environment that provides a place where potential can grow. My desire is to make an impact in this world by using my experience and gifts. I’m naturally an introvert but love to be challenged and adventurous. 

During my down time I love to watch Netflix and eat some brown stew chicken with a side of coleslaw and festival.
