God At Work In Canadian Cities
Elizabeth Anderson is the director of Urban Cry School of Mission in Windsor, Ontario. At the Our City Windsor 2026 conference, she brought a fascinating perspective from Paul’s offerings for the church in Jerusalem during their experience of famine.
In our pursuit of social justice, what distinguishes a humanistic response from the justice that God is looking for?

For 10 years, New Song Church has been alongside one of Windsor’s more challenging neighbourhoods of social housing. What we affectionately call the Glengarry neighbourhood is a series of four high rise apartments, several rows of townhouses and an assisted living facility. It experiences the most tragic of life experiences as well as a quieter majority that are just trying to survive.
Through collaboration initially with The Downtown Windsor Community Collaborative and partnership with Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation, we run a 4 day per week drop in centre, a community garden, the cafeteria contract in the assisted living facility along with a weekly Bible study and prayer meeting for residents with spiritual desire.
In this episode, Kevin Rogers interviews Kevin and Paula Saunders as well as Elizabeth Anderson.
