In the wake of the tragedy in Tumbler Ridge, our hearts are heavy, and we want the community to know that the British Columbia & Yukon District of The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada is standing with them in prayer and support. We are especially lifting up Pastor Gerald and Tracy Krauss, all affected families, first responders, and community leaders during this deeply painful time. To provide tangible care, we are sending Jim Caruso, a trained and experienced trauma counsellor, to walk alongside the church and community with compassionate, Christ-centered support. We commit to continue walking with Tumbler Ridge in the days ahead. Those who wish to assist can give to the Tumbler Ridge Benevolence Fund at BCYD.ca to help provide ongoing pastoral and practical care.

Rev. Mark A. Lewis
Superintendent, British Columbia & Yukon District
