Programs that make a difference

Empowering families through faith and action.

Lilium Village Childcare

At Lilium Village, children learn and grow through an emergent curriculum. We strive to lead their natural curiosity and creativity, encouraging them to be confident in their God-given gifts while providing a nurturing environment where each child feels safe and valued.
Our educators create inclusive, responsive spaces– both indoors and outdoors– that invite discovery, play, and wonder. We celebrate the uniqueness of every child, family, and staff member, recognizing that our differences enrich our community.
We’re committed to open communication and partnership with parents and guardians, working together to support each’s child’s healthy development and well-being.

Encouragement Program

The Encouragement Program provides the framework for delivering MayBell’s residential programs. We provide practical support while nurturing long-term growth through relational healing: helping people grow closer to God and build healthy relationships with themselves, others, and creation. Participants—called Leaders—are supported through a mentorship model, facilitated by trained staff and supported by volunteers– called Allies. Our goal is to empower Leaders in the poverty community to use their voices and experiences to create lasting change.

Residential Programs

MayBell’s residential programs provide supportive and affordable transitional housing for low-income individuals and families. Over a two-to-five-year period, the programs address immediate needs such as safe housing and access to essential supports while equipping participants for long-term stability, growth, and meaningful engagement in their communities.

Faith and Finances

Faith & Finances is a 12-week program included in the Encouragement Program framework designed to equip people with practical financial skills and a biblical perspective on stewardship. This program unites people from diverse financial backgrounds, helping participants overcome the challenges of poverty and rediscover their God-given dignity. Graduates leave with a greater understanding of their finances, how money connects to their values, and strategies for working through life’s challenges with confidence.

Work Life

The WorkLife program is another offering within the Encouragement Program structure. Grounded in the same principle of relational impact, the program emphasizes that God has created all people in His image, uniquely gifted to add value to the world through work. WorkLife supports participants in finding and maintaining employment while addressing the immediate challenges that often accompany multi-generational poverty. WorkLife helps participants gain practical tools for career-readiness, building healthy relationships, and personal growth, while laying the foundation for long-term stability and contribution within their communities.

Advocacy Program

The Advocacy Program amplifies the voices and experiences of individuals facing homelessness or visible need. Through respectful, trauma-informed storytelling, participants share their stories to challenge stigma, build community understanding, and inspire systemic change. Rooted in dignity, choice, and collaboration, the program provides a safe and supportive space where every person’s story is valued and heard.
We understand that we live in a small community and that these stories are delicate. We seek to honour the stories of those who have shared and ask that you view them with reverence to the weight many in our community carry.

Compassion Program

The Compassion Program partners with Amazing Grace Association in Cambodia to meet the physical and spiritual needs of children, elders, and students living in poverty. Through the provision of essentials like food, clothing, education, and medical care, families experience tangible relief and the hope of Christ. Our scholarship ministry extends this impact by helping young people pursue post-secondary education and grow in their faith. Sponsors play a vital role—supporting students, children, and elders through prayer, letters, and financial partnership—helping to break cycles of poverty and build lives rooted in dignity and discipleship.

Together, we’re building change that lasts.

Hear from those who believe in our mission

“It’s been almost 5 years now since I started volunteering with Maybell Developments. Not only do I have a fuller picture of the issues and challenges [participants] face, I also have names and faces linked to this picture. My compassion quotient has increased, and I sense I’m nearer the side of Christ as I walk with these women.”

“MayBell Development’s vision to work toward ending poverty through faith-based and relational programs really connected with my heart. What a blessing it’s been to be part of the Faith and Finances program and the Knit-a-thon, as well as seeing the exciting progress at Lilium Village!”

“This extraordinary organization is a true testimony that together (with God as our solid rock and foundation) we are much stronger together than we are apart.”
