Built Through Partnership:
Intertribal Life Ministries & NEFC
Council Fire exists because of the collaborative vision of two Indigenous Christian organizations committed to reaching Native North Americans with the gospel.
Intertribal Life Ministries is dedicated to developing and publishing Christian literature written by and for Native North Americans. Their mission is to speak to Indigenous hearts through culturally relevant content that honors both faith and heritage. From devotional books to the Intertribal Life newspaper, they create resources filled with positive Indigenous news and gospel truth.
The Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (NEFC) focuses on planting and sustaining churches for First Nations people across Canada. Through pastoral support, radio outreach, and community ministry, NEFC works to build strong, thriving Indigenous congregations where the Word of God is taught and lived out in culturally meaningful ways.
Together, these organizations have created Council Fire as a resource to encourage, inspire, and equip Indigenous believers and anyone seeking to understand how the gospel speaks across every culture.
