ABOUT

Less than 500 years ago, the only people living in Canada were the First Peoples. The Indigenous people of this land have a rich history and unique relationship with our country, one that includes chapters of hurt but also new chapters of healing.

Together, through tangible acts of love and hope-filled testimony, we can be a blessing to Indigenous communities across the land! Partner with us today.

While in the Muskoka region, Crystal met the #1 rugby player in Canada (for his age category), Ethan Jurgeneit. At 6 years of age, Ethan developed a love for rugby. His passion for the game compelled him to train hard, which lead him to qualify for team Canada! Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 his dream of playing for U18 Senior Men’s Team was shattered. Despite the challenges, Ethan shares how God is reminding him of His plan for his life, he needs only to trust.
