TCCC Saddle Lake Short-term Mission Trip Reflection
Written by Rev. Edmund WuFrom May 7-17, 2016, a 13-member team from TCCC visited the Saddle Lake Cree Reserve through SIM with the goal of participating in a ‘ministry of presence’ among the residents there. Saddle Lake Reserve is located about 180km NE of Edmonton. With an on-reserve population of approximately 6500 Saddle Lakers, this community has faced its fair share of heartache and death over the recent years. It was indeed God’s orchestration that our team was able to be there as a Christian presence on the reserve. Unlike other more structured, more task-oriented STM trips, this ministry of presence trip consisted of (1) living among the people, (2) learning about the Cree culture, (3) listening to their stories and (4) praying together with them for their needs.

My faith journey began over 40 years, when as a child, I began attending the Hamilton Chinese Alliance Church (海明頓華人宣道會) under the leadership of Rev. Daniel Ng (吳偉權牧師). My non-Christian parents did not attend themselves, but they encouraged my older brother and me to go in order to learn Chinese and to develop good moral values. As I began attending HCAC regularly, I started learning about God and the Christian faith. There were many dedicated and faithful brothers and sisters who served tirelessly in the various children’s ministries each week.
