Lorna is the SIM Canada TCK Care Coordinator. She provides Member Care for our TCKs (Third Culture Kids/missionary kids), supporting and encouraging them and their parents from early in the application process, through the preparation stages, during their time in their ministry location – whether overseas or in Canada – and in the transitions for home assignment, post-secondary studies, or other. Currently this involves over 50 families and well over 100 TCKs. The purpose of this role is to serve the SIM community by encouraging and stimulating excellence in the provision of appropriate resources and options for the education and care of SIM's missionary children. Tim serves as the Executive Director for MentorLink Canada where the motto is, “For every believing community, Christlike leaders; for every leader, Christlike mentors.” Tim believes that at this stage of his life and ministry that God is calling him to invest in others so that they can become all that God wants them to become and do all that God wants them to do. It is his prayer that the growth of the Kingdom of God will be accelerated by training, resourcing and encouraging others to choose to engage in intentional accountable relationships where Christlike character is developed and faithful living is supported. Tim continues to be an SIM Canada missionary with his funding is all through SIM. Much of his focus is on developing mentoring movements in Ethiopia and other countries in Africa.
“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” 2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV)
