First Nation YOUTH could impact their people!
Two of the newest Fellowship International missionaries, Jacob and Rachel Hwang, are serving Ahousaht First Nation people in British Columbia.
Jacob, Rachel, and their children, live among the Ahousaht and have been well received. A local church has been planted and this summer they took the young people to a youth conference. With the help of four Fellowship Pacific churches, teens from Maaqtusiis and two additional Bands attended the Aboriginal Youth Conference (July 24-27), bringing the total number of youth and young adults to 54.
It is amazing that almost 80% of the youth in the village high school attend the camp. Jacob and Rachel are truly thankful for the results of this camp: youth experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit, decided to give up their lives of addiction, believed and confessed Jesus as their Lord, and six of them were baptized. As this became known in the Ahousaht village, many youth confessed their faith through sharing their testimonies—it has already had a great impact on the entire village. Ahousaht is being restored by the next generation in the name of Jesus.
Jacob and Rachel ask us to pray: “Thank you to all who served with prayer and support to our young people, for allowing us to witness this grace together. A spiritual war has begun for the youth who returned home. Please continue to pray that they will grow well with the power and love of the Holy Spirit and be established as true disciples of the Lord.”
Please consider your local church’s future involvement in First Nation people in your Region and our country.
