Michelle Porter, of Regina RESCUE Mission in Saskatchewan, has this to say about City Vision College:

I guess you could say that my view of City Vision College is biased, having been the first person to ever receive a Bachelor in Rescue Ministries.  However, City Vision College has more than proved its effectiveness by playing a key part in the founding of Regina RESCUE Mission.  In less than four years, it has allowed our expansion mission to grow to a budget of nearly $400,000!

Fund raising—building relationship with our donors—is the financial lifeblood of our ministries. Yet many of us came to our positions from diverse pursuits, none of which prepared us for the ministry of fund raising.

Nevertheless, we must be successful fund-raisers in order to minister to our clients who cannot pay for services themselves.

There are two prerequisites for becoming successful fund-raisers: attitude and knowlege. New programs at City Vision College can help us become skilled in these areas so we are wise steward-leaders, bringing glory to God with our donors, clients and communities.
