Paget THE HERALD ltTS Continued from related an unusual experience prior to her Journey nils happened about one week before we left for Montreal I wau reading the book Cross on a Switchblade written by David Wllkson and I became really Inspired Hat night I prayed to God to help me do something worthwhile this summer to bit will That next Sunday Pastor Ralph asked me to go to Montreal I dido connect the happenings at first but a couple of later I figured out what happened Laurie was also with the attitude of the refugees I was talking to two girls who held their Bachelor of Arts degree They felt that this is what they have so they might as well make the best of It Everyone was so grateful for what they did have Those people have been through a lot in one year more than I ever want to go through in a lifetime Yet they ail were so pleased and all so very nice Seventeen yearold Keith had previously travelled with Wea Palmer to deliver a truck load of donations and after seeing the situation In Montreal decided he wanted to return and help out as much as possible Moat of the refugoca are professional people like university professors etc Most of these people really had it made In Vietnam and bang they have nothing The people were not at all ashamed to accept the donations I guess they all knew that everyone else was in the same boat We went to one apartment and the family was given some pots The father gave one of the pots back because he said that they had enough and did not need an extra one This other apartment we visited was a one room apartment and eight children were sleeping on the floor I kept tbe whole time what would I do and bow would I react if 1 were a refugee heard one man Yes Canada good very good Pastor Ralph felt that one of the most rewarding experiences was the deep friend ship formed amongst the four young people bis wife and himself I really got to know these kids which Was important to me These kids have got to be the beat group ot kids I have ever worked with However he personal visit to left deep Imprints on Pastor Ralph It acquainted me more personally with what a at stake in Montreal and what Is still so desperately needed It also gave me an opportunity to practise what I preach I talk about love and caring In a sermon and how to act In a tangible way I found out that you really can practise what you do preach When we went down there we knew that it would be all hard work with nothing In return but the friendship of the refugees It enlarged my vision as to why I here as a Christian and what Cod la doing in tbe world It none thing to talk about the Christian faith to people who know and understand English who live In town but to talk with someone who knows virtually nothing about Christian faith is quite a challenge Pastor Ralph went on to explain the of the Vietnam Heartbeat Project had on the congregation of the Christian Alliance Church Everyone gave donations and offered their help In sorting packaging repairing clothes etc church closer together So many people have aid thai it like the good old days where everyone worked shoulder to shoulder and pitched in Pastor Ralph was both proud and excited over the numerous donations given to the Vietnam Heart beat Project from Georgetown residents The amount of progress we made here A LOT FROM and Linda sort through just a small part of he truckloads of clothing that have arrived in Montreal to help the Vietnamese- and Cambodians through their first few months of our harsh Canadian winters While Canada weather is considered to be hot if not too hot for many of us the Vietnamese actually regard it as being In Georgetown as far as donations go proved really put the project on Its feet When we amount of happiness and optimism shown by to me that we are not as for away from Christian values as I sometimes Ihlnk Itprovedtomethatpeoplodocarc that they do respond All they need Is an outlet I think that the contributions from Georgetown were at Montreal we unloaded countless the refugees many held a great amount of number of donations which we knew came sorrow He heard one man saying Montreal from Georgetown It was such terrific no
