The mission of Living Hope is to equip and empower local churches that matter. We are shifting energy as an organization so that we can more effectively do that, specifically with partnership in mind.
I’m excited that we have been able to trial a number of events, and are building relationships to help build up the local church in northern communities. We’re hoping to build on the momentum we’ve gained this past year, reach even more people, and be a resource to more First Nations Christians in Northern Ontario.
This summer we’re planning on running more VBS Programs than last year. We will continue with another Kingdom Builders event–a time where believers working in indigenous communities get together and encourage each other. Some energy is going towards building a national training network with other First Nations ministries in Canada. We have been making connections so that we can run Akwachink trips for northern camps and communities and are taking steps towards running a discipleship training program led by First Nations believers.
This is our way of acting out the Great Commission to make disciples who make disciples. Thanks for being part of this ministry by praying, joining in on our initiatives, and funding the mission to build up indigenous believers who will be able to lead the church for the coming generations. May God richly bless you this season and inspire you with how you can partner in your community to accomplish what God has prepared.
