Sharing the Gospel Hope
Carelinks Canada, 27 Cedar Creek Lane, Elgin, ON K0G 1E0, CA
Riga Bible Centre, Latvia
A refuge from a world without hope
This building was adapted from a former casino to a place where the poor and homeless of Riga, Latvia can find a refuge from a life of difficulty and deprivation. A large segment of the Latvian population is a hold-over from the days of the Soviet Union. These poor Russian speaking people have no citizenship and so they struggle day by day to survive, which is especially difficult during the long cold winters. They are able to find a place to sleep in some state owned night shelters but that is about all the public welfare assistance available for these poor souls. So many turn to the hospitable doors of the Riga Bible Centre for a place to gather, find warmth, food and spiritual guidance. Under the former Soviet system, little or no religious guidance was offered so there is a ready acceptance of the Gospel hope by many of the patrons.
