Mark and Charmaine Balmer

Family Adoption Story Mark and Charmaine met at university, married in 1991, and assumed their plans would fall into place just the way they’d always dreamed. However, they quickly found themselves walking through a journey with infertility which was never something they planned or discussed. Today, they are parents to eight amazing children – 6 of whom are adopted! Their journey was, and continues to be, one of many prayers and the daily decision to trust their family’s story to the One Who continues to write it. Their story is evidence that God is a beautiful author and has purpose in all He does.

Deina Warren

Director of Legal Affairs at Canadian Centre for Christian Charities Deina completed her Hon. B.A. in Political Science at Western and worked for UWO before earning her Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Ottawa, where she graduated in the top 10 per cent of her class. During law school she was actively engaged with the student Christian Legal Fellowship chapter, and interned at the Senate Law Clerk’s Office, the Department of Justice Parliamentary Affairs Unit, and the Criminal Convictions Review Group. Deina articled as a Judicial Law Clerk in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Central-South Region. Called to the Ontario Bar in 2009, Deina then pursued her LL.M. at Osgoode Hall, which she successfully completed in 2012. Prior to joining CCCC, Deina’s practice focused largely on constitutional and human rights law, and she served as co-counsel in a variety of courts and tribunals including interventions in cases such as Wall at the Supreme Court of Canada, Trinity Western in Nova Scotia and at the Supreme Court of Canada, and CMDS v CPSO at the Ontario Divisional and Appeal Courts. Deina enjoys legal research and writing, regularly contributing to the Christian Legal Journal. She has also written for the Gospel Coalition Canada, and recently co-authored an article for the Supreme Court Law Review. One of her favourite things to do is translate legalese into relevant (and hopefully interesting!) terms for church leadership and the Christian community more broadly, and she often speaks on this topic at a variety of conferences and meetings. Active in her local church, Deina also serves on a variety of charitable boards, is part of Christian Legal Fellowship, the Halton County Law Association, and the Canadian Bar Association. Terrible at keeping houseplants alive, she nonetheless still attempts to garden, enjoys cooking, reading fiction, running, and along with her husband and three daughters, is eagerly awaiting the chance to adopt a rescue dog (or two). In this role, Deina will support the Director, Legal Affairs with research, legal analysis and content development. This role is primarily internally facing and provides legal support to senior leadership and team members on a broad range of charity, tax and trust law issues.

Dorothy Greatrex

Founder Mujeres Nuevo Comienzo (MNC) Dorothy Greatrex, celebrating her 84th year of life, would say that grace and mercy are her choice words since finding Jesus at the age of 59. Now in her golden years, she is enjoying a journey of watching unbelievable transformation in women and children who have been rescued from abuse. Her own journey looked so shattered and broken but God turned it around so she can confidently say, “Come, let us help you.” In 2011, at the age of 70, Dorothy filled out the application to the Mexican government to open MNC. Her dream was to provide a safe home for women who have been victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence. Dorothy saw the horrors of young girls being jailed for prostitution, when the reality was, they were being sex trafficked against their will. She saw young moms in the community beaten and battered with no other option for starting a new life than leaving her children with the abuser or at an orphanage while trying to heal and find employment and housing. Now over a decade later, MNC has a beautiful 10,000 square foot building housing a dozen women and their children including four transition homes. There is a restaurant, cafe, hair salon all onsite intended to teach these women viable skills they can use to support themselves in the future. In 2018 MNC received an award from the Mexican government for “Making a Difference in Mexico”.
