Our missions focus for the month of September is Tribal Trails. Tribal Trails is a television and online ministry that brings the world’s most needed message of hope to Canada’s First Peoples. A vision was planted in the hearts of Northern Canada Evangelical Mission leaders for a television outreach. They believed that the message of God’s love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ must be proclaimed in an understandable way to as many First Nations and Inuit people in Canada as possible.  
 
At first people were skeptical. Would TV really be an effective outreach? Wouldn’t the cost be prohibitive? One of the first goals was to broadcast nation-wide by satellite, and it seemed out of reach. However, the Lord blessed those initial efforts, and the programs began to be aired on television stations and on ITV, a satellite station, in seven provinces, and has since expanded to several other satellite stations to reach thousands of communities coast to coast.  
 
Efforts to reach Canada’s First Peoples have certainly not been exempt from obstructions like large distances over formidable territory, scattered populations, linguistic and racial barriers, and a rocky relationship with the church due to years of misrepresentation and pain. Yet how hopeful to witness television helping to overcome these obstacles! Click here to give towards this month's mission project.
