Mino-maawanji'itiwag: Coming Together in a Good Way

Mino-maawanji'itiwag: Coming Together in a Good Way An opportunity to Come Together with Indigenous and non-Indigenous believers.

Hearing from those who have journeyed before us, offering their perspectives on walking the Jesus Way while being both Indigenous and Christian. iEmergence has its beginnings with the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People (WCGIP). It was during the first WCGIP in New Zealand in 1996 that redemption of the treasures of indigenous cultures began in a unique way. This also began the process

of reaching out to other indigenous peoples as the WCGIP endeavored to harness, develop and equip emerging indigenous leaders for the next generation in their own contexts. The mentorship of elders and the dialogue with peers throughout the years of WCGIP birthed in the iEmergence founders a desire to have an impact in their generation that would have a lasting effect on the generations to follow. The experiences and vision of these young people, combined with the stories and experiences of other indigenous people became the foundation for the iEmergence initiative.

Mino-maawanji’itiwag

Mino-maawanji’itiwag is Saulteaux for "coming together in a good way." This November we will gather again for a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and grow, reconciling the past and journeying towards Contextualized Ministry. Join Indigenous Jesus followers and people ministering in an Indigenous context.

Have You Wondered? · Can a person be both fully Indigenous and fully Christian? What does that look like? · How can a non-Indigenous person mentor an Indigenous person? · What does Indigenous leadership look like? · What difference does it make that Jesus was a tribal boy raised under colonization? · Why are Indigenous peoples marginalized in similar ways across the globe? · Are there legitimate boundaries in contextualization? If so, who sets those boundaries? · Is the Indigenous drum, smudging, or other traditional practices demonic? · Why can’t “they” get over it? · How can Christian ministries present Jesus in a good or better way?

Purpose: An opportunity to Come Together with Indigenous and non-Indigenous believers. Hearing from those who have journeyed before us, offering their perspectives on walking the Jesus Way, while being both Indigenous and Christian. This gathering is an opportunity to spend two days with Indigenous leaders who have journeyed with these and other questions. Let's learn how to come together in a good way!
