Calvary Baptist Church Missions Fellowship

One of the aspects of our ministry is connecting with and giving ministry updates to Church and mission groups. We do so on behalf of Arrowhead as well as ourselves. It is always a blessing to be with the folks at Calvary Baptist Church in Miramichi. This particular visit Kyle had an opportunity to share about the ministry he is involved in at Arrowhead as well.

North Broadway Baptist Church Mission Conference

Kyle and I made our first road trip together to Tilsonburg, Ontario. Arrowhead was invited to come to the missions conference at North Broadway Baptist Church and share about ministry among the First Nations people of Canada.

It was an immense blessing to be with the folks at the church and enjoy their enthusiasm for Gospel Mission. We look forward to ministering together with them in the future.

Sorry for the blurry picture, here's a quickly taken shot of Kyle chatting at our table during the conference.

Our return trip allowed us to connect with Marcus & Kameron Cook, who followed us back to NB for the Circle Summit. 

An Intern at Arrowhead

We are very pleased to announce that Kyle Hubick has been accepted as a one year intern at Arrowhead Native Bible Center. Kyle will work with me (Grant) directly and be involved in every area of our ministry; administration, maintenance, planning, facilitating and operating our summer camp programs, conferences and social media. In addition to being exposed to all of the administration and function of the ministries at Arrowhead he will be assigned a number of books and a cross-cultural communications course as a part of his internship. Kyle will also be responsible to assist with a kids club and teen discipleship program at St. Mary's First Nation.

We are so excited to have Kyle moving here to work with us for this year. We would ask that you pray for Kyle as he prepares to come and after he arrives. Kyle will be living in "The Nest" cabin right here at Arrowhead, but he will need to raise $1200 a month of support to cover his expenses (ministry travel, accommodations, food etc.). Would you consider committing to support Kyle for a year as he serves at Arrowhead? Will you pray for the ministries here at Arrowhead and for Kyle as he interns?

NCEM General Conference 2017

This year marked the return of the NCEM General conference at Wilderness Edge Conference Center in Pinawa, Manitoba. We took the opportunity to visit our friends at Faith Bible Church of Winnipeg on our way through to Pinawa.

It is always a pleasure to connect with our mission family; to be able to do that with everyone at once is a nice opportunity. We enjoyed connecting with old friends and getting acquainted with new ones.

Ivy and Willow met this friendly RCMP officer.

Albert and Barb Heal... lovebirds.

We all had opportunities to give reports to the mission family about our ministry centers. Here is Mark Dana reporting on Kwaya Kotage.

Ruth was pleased to be the short one in this photo.

ANBC Summer Camps 2017

Our summer camps are a huge part of the ministry at Arrowhead — and we love every minute. This year was no exception, there were blessings and trials, challenges and triumphs. God was at work and we laboured to encourage the staff to be submitted fully to serving the Lord!!

Thank you for your continued support in prayer and finances. Without your faithfulness we would be unable to continue to serve the Lord here at Arrowhead.

Staff Training
Every year we build into our volunteers by striving to equip and enable them for ministry—most importantly we draw our attention to the centrality of Christ to both our message and our labours.

We were blessed this year to have Marsha Boyd-Mitchel join us from the Christian Action Federation to speak to our staff.

Teen Camp 
Kirk Hubick joined us this year for our teen camp and walked through the Gospel clearly and steadily with our campers.
 

Junior Camps
Our junior camp serve ages 8-12, it is always amazing to see the Lord work in the lives of both our camper sand volunteers. Our programs are designed to involve all of our staff in the teaching and discipleship. It is a wonderful opportunity to speak the message of the gospel into the lives of young people.

Nova Scotia Camp Out
Typically we like to offer 2 different out trips, this year due to the NCEM general conference we wer eunable to offer two, but offered an extended trip to lower Nova Scotia. The discipleship and ministry that happens naturally as we enjoy the week together is beyond measure. We've seen the Lord do some amazing things on these trips. 

The Gospel Coalition Atlantic conference

This year our family had the immense privilege of representing NCEM at the TGC Atlantic conference held at Grace Baptist Church in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. It was a huge blessing and a great benefit to the ministry here to be able to connect with people. We were so pleased to discuss the ministry of NCEM and ANBC with so many engaged pastors and lay-people. It was encouraging to see so many folks interested in the need for Gospel teaching in our First Nations communities in Atlantic Canada.

Honor Shame Conference

It was a tremendous blessing to attend the honor shame conference at Wheaton College in Illinois.  Mark Dana arranged for the men from the NCEM Eastern Field to travel to and attend this conference. Carl, Kevin, Mark & I flew from Fredericton to the conference.

The conference was a tremendous blessing and served to be extremely thought provoking. Considering the cultural moral frameworks that are expressed in our world and the application of the Gospel to those cultures has caused me to see the message of the Good News in whole new dimensions.

In addition to a wonderful conference, the fellowship with these guys was refreshing and a great time.

We had some unfortunate challenges with Air Canada, but enjoyed a 10 hour road trip from Montreal instead. 

We were unable to take pictures during the conference for the safety of those who might be working in a closed country. So we took lots of selfies instead.
