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.

God's redeeming love / First Peoples Voices

Aiden and Angel grew up in two different worlds. Aiden travelled with his missionary family, sharing the Gospel with Indigenous globally! Angel's mom was 16 years old when she had her. As a single mom, life was unstable and challenging. Yet it was her mom that felt a nagging to encourage her daughter to attend YWAM Muskoka. It was during Angel's discipleship training where she encountered the love of a Father. Watch with Kleenex!
