Here’s what Kelly has to say:<br />
“Hi, I’m Kelly Cameron. I currently reside in<br />
Pickering, ON. I first learned about Jewels For<br />
Jesus at my local crisis pregnancy centre, where<br />
I work part-time. I am excited about coming<br />
on board here at Jewels as I have a passion for<br />
working with young parents.<br />
“I have been blessed with a number of opportunities<br />
to serve young people facing challenging<br />
circumstances. <strong>The</strong>se have included: homeless<br />
youth and youth at-risk of homelessness in<br />
York Region, teen girls struggling with addictions<br />
in a treatment group home in San Jose, CA,<br />
and students at-risk of dropping out of school in<br />
Kingston, ON. I obtained my B.A. (Hons) in<br />
Psychology from Queen’s University.<br />
“I love to travel and have lived in 4 countries.<br />
I look forward to what the Lord’s going to do in<br />
and through me here at Jewels.“<br />
assessment, counseling, and support skills dealing<br />
with families in crisis and life changes.<br />
Here’s a word from Andrea:<br />
“I would just like to take this opportunity to say<br />
hello to everyone and tell you how excited I<br />
am to be starting on this new journey here at<br />
Jewels.<br />
“My name is Andrea White. <strong>The</strong> Lord has<br />
blessed me with a loving and support i v e<br />
husband and a very active toddler at home.<br />
I come to Jewels with a Bachelor of Arts degre e<br />
in Sociology and a Bachelor of Social Wo r k<br />
d e g ree, as well as several years experience<br />
working in child welfare. I want to use the<br />
gifts He has given me to assist and help others.<br />
I believe that it was His work that made me<br />
a w a re of this opportunity at Jewels For Jesus and<br />
that He has called me to this special ministry.<br />
“I am grateful for the many blessings and<br />
opportunities the Lord has given me throughout<br />
my life and most recently for bringing me here<br />
to Jewels. May God bless you and keep you<br />
and your families.”<br />

Andrea White: Birth Parent Worker<br />
Andrea found us through a friend who receives<br />
our newsletter. Feeling that Andrea would be<br />
a match for the birth parent worker position at<br />
Jewels, she handed the newsletter to her.<br />
Thank you to Andrea’s friend!<br />
Andrea comes to us with extensive education,<br />
training and experience. She has more than<br />
three years experience working in child protection<br />
through CAS where she developed her<br />
Farewell<br />
Our one last goodbye:<br />
Elizabeth<br />
Chotka, one of our<br />
birth parent workers<br />
left us at the end of<br />
the summer. Her husband,<br />
David, started<br />
a new pastorate position<br />
in Alberta at the<br />
beginning of October.<br />
Elizabeth has been a<br />
tremendous partner in the ministry of<br />
Jewels For Jesus and we will miss her.<br />
We pray that the work that she did at<br />
Jewels will have an eternal impact. We<br />
know that she will continue to support us<br />
as one of our faithful prayer warriors.<br />
Thanks Elizabeth.
