Pikangikum, Ontario

Broken Walls has been invited by the missionary in Pikangikum, Ontario to minister there in December, 2009. We are very excited about the opportunity to do ministry and renew longstanding friendships. Unfortunately, they are unable to cover the full cost of bringing us into the north and we are asking all of our friends to consider helping with this important project. Please prayerfully consider how you might help. All Canadian donations will receive a tax receipt. Donations can be sent to: Broken Walls, 245 Bayshore Road, Tyendinaga Territory, Ontario K0K 1X0 or made through our website at: www.brokenwalls.com.
