"God's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, making everything right for them and their children as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said." (Psalm 103: 17,18)

Creator's Talking Circle

Carrie working on a mosaic
 Creator's Talking Circle is a time where we connect with kids from the reserves around Salmon Arm.  The band has given us permission to use their band hall to do this program.

We usually start with a simple meal and share a story time sharing Biblical values and stories and relating them also to the Native cultural values and stories.  


Trent and Danny creating a special game
We have a song time using the guitar and sometimes a hand drum.



The ages of the kids vary greatly from 5 to 14, so we need to be able to engage each of them at their level.  So the small group setting is one way of teaching the lesson to the kids.


Today was a very relaxed time with lots of laughter and fun as everyone was busy at different craft tables creating their art.  


Iesha and Beverley making cards
Our NAIM team consists of Trent and Lynelle Blumenthal and their three boys, Marc and Sandra Fromme and their two kids and us.  We have a couple of people from local SA churches who come out and volunteer their time to help us with this outreach.


Today a couple of parents joined us for the mealtime and were present during the story presentation. Seeds are planted as we share the love of Christ with these kids and their families. 


Your prayers and support are touching many young lives here for Christ and His Kingdom.
