FLYING MINISTERS TO TENT MEETINGS IN ISLAND LAKE FIRST NATION

A huge white tent was the meeting point for people from Island Lake First Nation Community for 3 days.

I had the privilege to fly in Pastor Marcel Okomow and his daughters from God's River (about 1/2 hour flight north of Island Lake).

Marcel's daughter Marylov recently lost her husband, but her faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has given her a special gift to reach out to other people and comfort them with her warmth and faithful spirit in their times of struggle.


So she was a vital part during these days of tent meetings, giving her testimony and speaking about her experience with God in her grief and mourning.

Another family from Round Lake First Nation (located 1.5 flying hours east of Island Lake) attended the meetings as Pastor, speaker and counceler: Terry, his wife Saloma, daughter Marceline and two grand-kids.

After returning Marcel and his daughters to God's Lake and the family of five to Round Lake, I had a smooth 3 hour Night-flight back home to St. Andrews - most of the flight was in 10,000 feet (3 kilometres), the wind up there was in favour to me pushing me back home.
