NATIVE AMERICAN FIELD COUNCIL
MEETS IN LETHBRIDGE
 |
| Our sending agency, Mission to the World, has a growing presence in the Native American or First Nations ministry area. All of the different missionaries, Pastors and volunteers from North America gather twice a year to encourage and share each others work. This fall we met here in Lethbridge. |
 |
| The first night we met, we enjoyed a Blackfoot meal prepared by Roxie and her family. We feasted on Buffalo stew, Berry soup, Fry bread tacos, Fry bread with maple glaze and for dessert - Saskatoon tarts. It was quite the meal - delicious and we will enjoy this again soon! |
 |
| Our Amazing Kids afterschool program began its year with a family dinner for us to get to know the parents of some of the kids we love on throughout the year. |
 |
| Pastor Rohan handing out special prizes to some of the attendees before our meal. |

AMAZING YOUTH KICK-OFF NIGHT

| When the Amazing Kids children get older they can move up to the AY program. AY (Amazing Youth) is for kids in grades 6 to 12 and is held each Tuesday evening from 7 pm to 8:30 pm - they have game night once a month, a service project once a month, and Bible studies the other weeks.
