Remembering Gord Healy

In the picture Gord is the guy with the white hair and his bride Lorna(Nate background & David). Gord, Lorna, Nate and David arrived at StreetHope March 20 2004 and began ministering in the streets the following Wednesday. Nate led the group for about six months and then Gord reluctantly took over as leader. Even though reluctance was there Gord proved to be the leader that was needed for the group from The Church of the Nazarene.
Gord and Lorna quickly invited another group from the Presbyterian Church just off Bourquin to join them in feeding and ministering to the street folks on Pauline Street. There were times when StreetHope was crowded with more volunteers than street folk. The warmth of Gord's personality and ability to relate to the street folks was wonderful to behold. Warm blankets, warm hugs, warm food and genuine care was offered to the people of the streets by Gord and his volunteers.
Thank you Gord for all you were to me and the folks on the streets, you will be missed.
Gord died Sunday August 6 2006 at 4:30 PM with his loving wife and family with him as he went on to be with his Saviour Jesus.
