A space to amplify the voices of Indigenous people

Indigenous Voices is a new venture that acts as a catalyst for the encouragement of individuals and existing churches. This online expression of ministry, dedicated to Indigenous content, aims to engage communities in remote locations and be a source of hope. Howard Jolly, the Executive Director of the First Nations Alliance Churches of Canada (FNACC), is leading this initiative. He shares that following up with individuals engaging with the content will be high priority.

As a new venture, Indigenous Voices was initially launched with the creation of a series called Come Sit With Me, or Piwitapamin in Cree. This audio-visual series is a shared production partnership between the The Alliance Canada and Square One World Media. Each episode is produced and hosted by Howard, who will discuss a wide range of topics pertaining to Indigenous communities. Through music, storytelling, testimonies, interventions and conversations, the series will lean into Indigenous life.

Howard explains, “Our desire is to focus on the impact of colonialism on Indigenous people such as, identity struggles, brokenness, and dealing with trauma. We strive to make the Good News relevant in our time and our culture. We pray that ‘Come Sit With Me’ will impact a harvest for the Kingdom of God in Christ. That harvest will look like people finding mercy and forgiveness in Christ, and healing and wholeness in Christ. It’s also about people being united and reconciled in Christ through building friendships, and hearing one another’s stories. This is at the core of ‘Come Sit With Me.’ We must hear and feel a person’s story to establish right relationship. Please pray for this New Venture.”
