Getting to know Weagamow Lake Evangelical Fellowship in Round Lake First Nations, NW Ontario
There is an evangelical church in Round Lake. It is associated with NEFC, the Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. The story of the revival that occurred in Weagamow in 1957.
By now (1957) the light of God’s grace was once again shining beams in a few communities across central Canada. A couple of missions were started. The remote community of Weagamow Lake (ON) had recently experienced a major spiritual awakening with the majority of the community accepting the life that Jesus offers. “Has Jesus given you life yet?” was the question they asked one another as they visited in their homes.
The Good News spread. Native men emerged as leaders of their fellowships. Eventually a group of Native pastors birthed a larger fellowship of Native churches that were springing up across Canada — the Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (NEFC).
