What is Moose Factory? It is a small island 1 mile wide and 2 ½ miles long in the Moose River up near the city Moosonee in Northern Ontario, Canada. On this small island is a Cree Native American Reservation where there is a small church called Cree Gospel Chapel.

“Who is Jesus?” That was the haunting question today. Not haunting because of the question, but haunting because of the answer. Today we started our VBS. It was the most unorganized, fun mess we could have ever possibly gotten ourselves into. We had around 50 kids show up today. It was during the early afternoon. [...]
Day 3!!!

Day 3 Yesterday started off quite wonderfully. I woke up to the wonderful smell of BACON! I walked out of my room, and to my surprise one of the guys, Clint, was cooking for us. It was a blessing more than anyone will ever know. Bob and Bev came to pick the team up around [...]
