LOI 1993-10: Toronto, Ontario: "On Dec. 13, 1992, the assembly at Central Gospel Hall celebrated the Lord's Supper for the last time. Central was mid-wife to a number of other Toronto assemblies through the years and the original home of [[Emmaus Bible College|Emmaus Bible School]]. While the assembly was winding down, God was planting the seeds of a new work.
Central Gospel Hall is now the home of [https://www.sanctuarytoronto.org/ Sanctuary], a ministry developing along two distinct but mutually supportive pathways. The building itself will become a safe place where the wounded souls of the neigboring communities may come for a variety of supportive ministries, touching their spiritual and temporal needs. The population is extremely diverse with the poor, the elderly, immigrants, substance abusers and homosexuals being a few of the most evident.
We envision the hall eventually becoming a shared home base from which Christians with a burden to fulfill our great commission may do so, reaching out into any of a dozen distinct communities in this cosmopolitan city. Christians who desire to serve in overseas missions would find this inner city situation a wonderful opportunity for training and experience, while still having the benefits of living in a familiar culture.
Sanctuary is being guided by a steering committee of Paul Abrahams (Danforth Gospel Hall), Dr. Ted Kay (Vice-President of MSC Canada) and Greg Paul (Richvale Bible Chapel)."
