Building up Community

Our mission is to see God plant the Ahousaht First Nation church by raising the next generation of young people who are less affected by the past. The primary role is to serve as spiritual parents until the younger generation grows into true disciples of Christ. God is also calling us to become their true neighbours and to ensure they are no longer abandoned. God wants us to go, bandage, and take care of them likewise. Jesus said to us, ‘You go, and do likewise’ (Luke 10:37).

The Hwang’s ministry in Ahousaht has focused primarily on the children and youth. In the beginning, the Lord sent them a youth to start a worship service in 2017. Through her siblings and relatives, however, the Lord brought over twenty teenagers to gather regularly, and they have since confessed that they are children of God and have been baptized! The Lord has also allowed them to attend the Aboriginal youth camp for the past five years, and they have had a great experience of loving one another and healing with the power of the Holy Spirit.
