Healing Within
By God’s grace, a partnership between Cornerstone and NorthWind Family Ministries in Thunder Bay was re-established in 2019 when a faithful sister heeded the Lord’s whisper to connect with the founders of NWFM. As a result, a large team was preparing to serve in August 2020 when the pandemic hit. Although CoVID19 had shut the world down, the Lord used that time to strengthen the partnership through prayer and financial support. Now, two years later, we are excited to have the opportunity to send a small team of four members, led by that same sister, to serve in person. Thank you for joining us in the journey.
Sunday am
The day started smoothly as we carpooled to the Billy Bishop Airport. After taking a quick team photo at the drop off area, we headed inside to the tunnel that led to the airport. It turned out that we were greeted with Toronto City Airport’s Indigenous and First Nations Art Exhibit. One piece that caught my eye was titled “Healing Within” by Jay Bell Redbird, an Ojibwe artist born in Ottawa. It was a reminder of the deep desire for restoration and that this desire is not just mankind’s, it’s God’s.
“But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
– Jeremiah 9:24 NLT
