It's with a lot of excitement and not a small amount of angst that I put pen and ink to this issue of the Indian Life newspaper, our first in the partnership and merger of Indian Life Ministries and the Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada Inc. It's a huge step for both organizations!

In case you are not too familiar with NEFC, we are a Canadian association of Native churches and have been operating since 1971. There are 17 churches affiliated with us at present. They are the focus and reason for our existence! We also have our CJTL Radio Broadcast with 6 local stations (with 3 more being added this year). Our head office is in Winnipeg MB.

NEFC spearheads three major conferences each year in BC, Alberta, and Manitoba. VISIT US at http://www.nefc.ca to learn about us and the dates of these events as they are planned!

We have worked alongside ILM for many years and are really excited about this new alliance! There will be some changes, but we look forward to continuing to bring you the best Native gospel newspaper out there-in print and online!
