At Toronto City Mission (TCM), we minister not only to children and youth, but also to their families. We pray for our families to be transformed by God, that they will have the lasting joy and peace that surpasses all circumstances. Last summer, we got to see God at work! One mother's story, in particular, stood out to us.
