On September 20, nearly 40 Hike 4 Higher Education participants took part in the 8 km roundtrip to the 1400 metre peak of Mount Seymour overlooking Vancouver and the coastal mountains. It was a perfect day for a hike with warm temperatures and clear skies. ISMC Vancouver city director, Steve Scott, enthused, “not only did everyone enjoy the beauty of God’s creation, they also had great fellowship with people from four campuses and several churches.”

Close to $800 was raised, most of which will be disbursed through Compassion Canada toward the post-secondary education for a gifted young third-world leader. International students were pleased to be able to “help other people while having fun.”

A successful Hike 4 Higher Education was held in Calgary as well on October 4. We’re looking forward to many more such hikes this fall across Canada!
