Focus on the Family Magazine - June/July 2023

40 YEARS / FAITH & INSPIRATION
FORTY YEARS AGO, <strong>Focus</strong> on the Family Canada
started in a one-room office building in Vancouver, BC.
Since then, we have grown to be the largest global partner
of <strong>Focus</strong> on the Family, offering help and encouragement to
millions of families in Canada as they build their lives on the
foundation of Jesus Christ.
Having a great marriage and raising kids takes work. And
the truth is we could all use a helping hand at times—that’s
why <strong>Focus</strong> on the Family Canada exists. We are committed
to strengthening families in Canada through trusted, biblically
based resources and programs, personal counselling,
prayerful support, and much more.
For the last 40 years, it has been our goal to be the
place Canadian families turn to for trusted help and
encouragement!
