WELCOME TO MATTHEW HOUSE! More than a thousand refugees from ninety countries have found their way to Matthew House in Toronto, Canada, since 1999, and received a warm welcome from its founder and executive director Anne Woolger-Bell. Earlier this year the home was blessed with a spectacular makeover by the Divine Design television program. Since Matthew House was also a 2009 Day of Prayer offering project, NABWU officers had two good reasons to see the home during their recent meetings in Toronto. They, too, received a warm welcome from Anne, and enjoyed tea in the renovated dining room.
