International Religious Organization Church Of Christ (Iglesia Ni Cristo) holds Aid to Humanity for Indigenous Communities in Canada

The socio-civic and charitable reach of the Church Of Christ (Iglesia Ni Cristo or INC) continues to positively impact residents in Canada with an Aid to Humanity event through the Felix Y. Manalo (FYM) Foundation that aims to help indigenous communities in the Berens River Watershed.

The four communities in the Berens River Watershed are mainly accessible by airplane. Church Of Christ volunteers donated clothes for all genders and ages, and toys for children. In total, 700 lbs were sent via Northway Aviation to the communities of Poplar Hill First Nation, Ontario (300 lbs) and Little Grand Rapids, Manitoba (400 lbs).

Receiving the donations on behalf of the Indigenous peoples, Mr. Gerald Neufeld thanked Church Of Christ Executive Minister Brother Eduardo V. Manalo.

“I’d like to take the opportunity to give my heartfelt thanks to Brother Eduardo V. Manalo for some very significant contributions that are being made by the brothers and sisters of the INC here in Winnipeg.  The contributions have a significant impact to these fly-in communities. They’re very remote. On behalf of the leadership and the people who live in these communities, I’d just like to share with you my most heartfelt thanks. It’s very much appreciated.”

Mr. Neufeld grew up in the First Nations community of Pauingassi, Manitoba and has become a lead volunteer in helping Indigenous peoples. 

In an ongoing commitment to help their fellowmen in need, Church Of Christ volunteers in Winnipeg have also prepared another 900 lbs of goods for the Berens River Watershed communities of Pikangikum, Ontario and Pauingassi, Manitoba.
