After many layovers and two nights in Montreal to adapt to the different time zone we finally landed at Kangirsuk, an Inuit village in northern Nunavik, Quebec, Canada. We had been praying with the leader of the church there and praying for them for quite a while so we were amazed that we get to meet the beautiful Inuit people. Surprisingly it was like going to an Asian region since many of them looked Mongolian and some of them are shy as us Indonesian.
The six days training was joined by 16 participants and majority of them came flying from the other villages around. Each of them hold unique stories of how the Lord calls them.
Through each sessions we witnessed how the Holy Spirit not only revealed Himself through His Word but also in restoring the hearts of the people. Revival has happened before in the land but there is also such brokenness that comes out of the rejection of their own nation, and also being far off from the other nations. There was some warfare since the preparation time and also in our time of praying when we just arrived at the house where we stayed, but we see God is greater than all other principalities.
Since the first day of training, Holy Spirit moved and restored their heart’s direction to return to God’s purpose in them. It is beyond thoughts how God calls us from far away from the east to share with them the heart of the Father, of the Bridegroom that longs for them, that they are not forgotten and that they hold such a special role in welcoming the King of glory to once again reign on the earth.

We had such a powerful last night there when we just spent time to worship and Holy Spirit led one of us to call out the nations: from Indonesia, from the Philippines – as one of the volunteers was a Filipino - from the Inuit people, and surprisingly there was someone who was a Portuguese. The first three nations were colonialized by the Portuguese and as there was asking of forgiveness we felt the Lord healing and uniting each one of us. The Inuit representative then asked us to take a prophetic act to take a step forward and we know that God calls the nations as families to be sent and prepare the way for His return. Until every nation sings!
We see generation after generations being called to move together. Before we arrived at Kangirsuk the Lord had put in our heart about the young people and the children. So it was such a such a joy that we get to witness God calling the young people of the Inuit to arise. We are amazed to hear the testimonies of how God supernaturally called the young ones to return to God, some out of drugs and alcohol addiction, and also out of life of free sex that is happening in this region...There have been many suicides happening among the youth of this region but we are hopeful that God is truly raising up the holy generation who is strong and alive in God’s love and truth who will bring breakthrough over the Arctic and Canadian region.
Not only the young people but also we were also humbled to see many of the elders of the church and the older people joining in the sessions and supporting the younger leaders. The elders have many stories of revival that they have experienced and we praise God that He is raising their presence and their voice to advance God’s Kingdom in this generation.

There are many more stories that we could testify from this journey, we are amazed how God moves and knitted every details of this trip. He does more than we could ever imagine and more than what we prayed for. We believe that there is more coming and we are seeing the open doors that the Lord is opening these days among His people. Thank you once again for standing with us through this journey of trusting the Lord deeper than before. He is worthy!
