Evangelism and teaching ministry to Canada's Aboriginal Peoples

In 1974 Bill Prankard began a missionary outreach to Canada's remote northern First Nations and Inuit settlements. Many communities are accessible only by air, and had not been touched by the full-gospel message.

Scores of precious native people received Jesus as their saviour, were healed and filled with Holy Spirit. As house churches grew, the Bill Prankard Evangelistic Association provided literature, equipment, training and support, and built churches in several communities.

Today, there are dozens of thriving Inuit and First Nations congregations throughout the north. A Holy Ghost revival is sweeping through the Arctic; and hundreds of precious Inuit are being transformed. Villages that were once devastated by alcoholism, abuse and suicide, are experiencing the joy and liberty of the Holy Ghost.

We work closely with Glad Tidings Arctic Missions in the Keewatin district (west of Hudson Bay). Every year Bill teaches in the short-term Bible School in Rankin Inlet, and makes missionary-evangelism journeys into the high Arctic.

On several occasions, mature Inuit believers and leaders have accompanied Bill to one of the most inaccessible and untouched regions of the world, Arctic Russia. It is so rewarding to see those who had been the target of our mission efforts now becoming missionaries!
