We are prayerfully planning to send another team to Muskrat Dam in summer 2026! We have had three excellent trips in the summers of 2023-2025 and are looking forward to partnering with this community this coming year.
Muskrat Dam is an isolated community of 300-350 people in northern Ontario. It is a fly in reserve in the summer and ice roads over the lake in the winter. They are an Oji-Cree nation. They speak a mixture of English and Oji-Cree. Linda and Rick Martin are our local missionary partners. Linda is from Muskrat Dam and most of her family still lives there.
Mission Trip date: Early July 2026
If this is an area of ministry that interests you, please download the application below and return it to the church by December 14. Once the applications are closed, there will be an interview process to select this year’s team.
The goal of this trip is to continue to develop relationships, to have a spirit of openness to learn from each other, and to show the love of Jesus. The hope is once again to do a day camp for the local children. We go with the confidence that God will open up opportunities as He sees fit.
Please pray for the upcoming trip and the application process. As well please pray for the community of Muskrat Dam, in particular the change of leadership and how that may affect ministry in the community.
