Bountifull House Counselling Centre Healing the broken-hearted At Bountyfull, we commit ourselves to a journey with people who have come to realize they are powerless and are ready and willing to seek help.  At the core of this approach are the "Bountyfull Principles for Living" which focus on feelings and unconditional self-acceptance. In an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding, the counsellor walks with the individual through their life story, where the hidden roots of pain and brokenness are unearthed. Individuals often begin to recognize various forms of dependancy to which they have given over their power, in an attempt to 'feel better'. The dependency may be on drugs, gambling, food, alcohol, rage, sex, relationships, counsellors .... the list goes on. In Vancouver please phone: (604) 255-6626 Harvest Project "Extending a hand up, not a hand out" "The Harvest Project is dedicated to those who are experiencing difficult life circumstances.

The Mustard Seed (Victoria) "To show God's love in Christ by working in partnership with the church, community and those in need so that together we achieve wholeness." The Mustard Seed Street Church began from a prayer closet in a store on Government Street in Victoria. The need of the underprivileged was so great that the ministry expanded to a building on Pandora Avenue. It began its outreach to the community as a church which soon grew to include a food bank, clothing bank, counseling and advocacy service, prison visitation and street ministry.

They may stay as long as they would like as long as they are doing well as far as their participation in their program is concerned while in residence.
