Nicholas Backlund
Serving in: Pikangikum
Nick is born and raised up in Northern Michigan just 20 miles from the shores of Lake Superior. Nick ministers in Pikangikum First Nation alongside Colleen Estes. This young man has a heart to see young people follow God and experience the plans Christ has for their lives. Nick’s roles in Pikangikum are teaching Christian Education classes in the public school, running a drop-in youth centre called Nightlight, and facilitating events with ministry and discipleship to young guys.
I carry with me this sense of conviction as I minister to young people in Pikangikum…as Peter says to Jesus…”To whom shall we go…you have words of eternal life.” I press on in Pikangikum with this same frame of mind…Jesus, I continually press into you and speak the pure gospel. The only thing that brings true life and meaning in such a crazy world.
