Bringing Smiles and Hope to Indigenous Children: Your Impact
The joy of children’s smiles and infectious laughter is a powerful reminder of life’s purest moments. Their spontaneous laughter fills the air with warmth, bringing light even to the darkest days. Thanks to your generosity, Crossroads Cares and First Peoples Voices helped bring those smiles to over 600 Indigenous children this summer.
In Prince Albert, Rev. Cathy Crane and her team hosted camps and family days for disadvantaged families, including some living on the streets. Children enjoyed crafts, survival games, compass lessons, and beach swims. Meals were provided daily, and parents were invited to participate. A church service was held, where five children dedicated their lives to Jesus!
In Maskwacis, children and families gathered for a Family Fun Barbecue, enjoying bouncy castles, face painting, food, and fellowship. But more importantly, they heard the Gospel and were nourished both physically and spiritually.
As we near the end of September, don’t miss 100 Huntley Street on Monday, September 30th, in honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We’ll be sharing powerful stories of resilience, healing, and hope from Residential School survivors and their families who have found peace through their relationship with Jesus, including interviews with National Chief Cindy Woodhouse of the Assembly of First Nations and the Nepinak family, Loretta and Chief Garnet Woodhouse.
Please keep Bev Hadland and her team in your prayers as they journey along the Alaskan highway from October 1st to 8th, visiting and praying with communities.
Thank you for your faithful support of Crossroads and First Peoples Voices. We couldn’t do this important work without you!
With gratitude,
“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.“– Eph 5:1
