Lighthouse Mission is primarily a soup and sandwich kitchen, serving the immediate needs of Winnipeg's less fortunate. As a registered Canadian charity and Christian humanitarian agency, we partner with organizations, churches, businesses and individuals to provide emergency relief in the form of food, clothing, prayer, spiritual guidance, and friendship to the homeless, and otherwise less fortunate, inner-city community of Winnipeg, in such a manner that conveys the value of those in need.Lighthouse Mission is unique in that, everyone is welcomed through our doors. Whether or not our friends are high, drunk or have previously been violent with us, they are welcome at Lighthouse and to our services. We believe God's heart is most reflected in our unmeasured forgiveness, love and grace toward the broken, hurting, and desperate people who come to us for help.
In the early 1850s, between 40 and 60 families of Métis buffalo hunters formed the original Catholic community west of Sturgeon Creek. About 1851 a mission was begun at the junction of Sturgeon Creek and the Assiniboine River, but it was soon moved to the present location at St. Charles. Bishop Tache asked Father Louis Francois Richer - La Fleche – a relative of the LaFleche family who still live in St. Charles – to construct a small log chapel. The priest did not reside there. He traveled from St. Boniface in the winter and followed his parishioners on their buffalo hunts in the summer. Father Damase Dandurand, who served at St. Charles from 1876 to 1900, was the first Canadian to become an Oblate. A windstorm on August 27, 1884, demolished the church. Father Dandurand, who retired in 1900, lived to the age of 102
Why Advancing Indigenous Missions Engage Today?The Evangelical movement in
the world has changed. At one time, evangelism, church planting, and
discipleship were the mission focus primarily undertaken by the Church in
the West; but now, they are the distinctive marks of the indigenous Church
in many pockets of the World. The Good News of Jesus Christ is bearing fruit
as indigenous Christians faithfully spread the Gospel. Movements are gaining
momentum as the Gospel takes root. Advancing Indigenous Missions Engage
Today was birthed to come alongside indigenous church planting ministries
reaching out to unreached people groups and helping them to equip the Church
for works of service. Who does Advancing Indigenous Missions work with? AIM
ENGAGEworks primarily with the leaders of independent indigenous mission
groups. Through visiting the indigenous missions and building relationships
with them, AIM ENGAGE has come to know our indigenous mission leaders.
