This is a special episode of our podcast.
We are deeply grieved by the discovery of the mass grave of 215 children who died while under the care of the residential school in Kamloops, BC. This is a sobering time of reflection and mourning. We will not hide from the shameful history of these events or ignore the sins of our forefathers and how our Heavenly Father and His Kingdom has been misrepresented. We stand with and mourn with the Indigenous community as the eyes of our nation continue to be opened. We pray for truth to continue to come to light. We pray for justice, and for God to show the way to restitution. We pray for God’s deep comfort and strength to those that grieve and to those that seek healing. We pray that God would restore the hearts and souls of the broken as only HE can. We pray for soft and open hearts within the church. May we listen and truly hear the words of the survivors.
Throughout the "Calls to Action" from the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission there was a repeated call for more, continued and better education across the board. As part of our response to this, CFA was honored to have Duff Crerar come and share in June of 2019 during National Indigenous History Month. Lord, may our earthly knowledge be joined with spiritual wisdom and compassion as YOUR Spirit guides our physical outpouring of love and support for YOUR children in the Indigenous community.
