A Thriving Church for Every People
This is the vision that Brent and Jodi embraced when they joined Ethnos Canada. Following the Lord’s leading, they now live and serve among the inland Tlingit and Tagish people of the Yukon. There, they shepherd a small but growing group of believers while intentionally building trust and meaningful relationships within the community.
At the heart of their ministry is Jesus’ promise in John 10:10:
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
This is their deep desire—that the Tlingit and Tagish people would experience the fullness of life found in Christ, bringing glory to God.
As church planters, their hope is to see a thriving, self-multiplying church that is Christ-centred and led by local believers. Their ultimate goal is simple but profound: to equip and encourage in such a way that the church becomes fully indigenous—so much so that their role is no longer needed.
In other words, they are working toward the day they can joyfully step aside, knowing the church is flourishing on its own.
