IMPACT:2010, Aisquith’s Summer missions trip, will take place on July 17th through July 24th, 2010. God has moved mightily throughout the Lummi Nation and opened doors for ministry with the youth and elders of the community. As “cross-cultural workers,” MTW desires that we continue to form relationships through these ministries, allowing the Lummi to see God demonstrated in the lives of our team members. Through these opportunities, avenues will be opened to share the gospel more freely and also help the Lummi see that the teams are there to work alongside of them. This serves as an encouragement and helps equip them to grow.

The People: The ancestors of the Lummi people today are from the Native American tribes who settled along the bay as part of their migration across the land bridge that once connected North America with Asia. Before the arrival of the pioneers, the Lummi people’s traditional territory extended from the shores of Bellingham Bay north along the mainland coast including numerous settlements and fish camps throughout the San Juan Islands. The language, custom, and philosophy of life on the Lummi Reservation is unique, as each has survived the ages by being passed down from elder to child. Respect for their heritage and one another are the cornerstones of this community. They are a very caring people. (more…)
