About
Canada Awakening
Ministries
God has been working transformation in a number of Inuit communities in Canada's North. Canada Awakening Ministries is helping to equip community leaders and to facilitate the process of transformation and of the healing of their ancestral lands.
This vision is now building bridges and connecting Canadian Inuit with Greenlandic Inuit, and with other circumpolar regions. It is also connecting indigenous people at the northern ends of the earth with indigenous people in the South Pacific region, particularly with Fiji.
The major focus is on equipping indigenous teams to go into communities wherever there is unity among local gatekeepers to welcome a team to facilitate a healing the land process. It is a process that is owned, initiated and maintained by the local gatekeepers with whom Canada Awakening Ministries has built non-paternalistic relationships and partnerships over the years.
The healing the land ministry in the communities where it is welcomed is in no way under the control of outsiders, but is an equipping, serving, undergirding, coming-along-side ministry that submits to the authorities of the different spheres of a community at the local level. Indigenous people have been controlled by outsiders for far too long, and need to have restored the unique identity that God has given to them, and to be healed of those ancient wounds that would keep them from pressing into their future destiny.
This healing process has seen encouraging results in a number of Nunavut communities, and now invitations to other communities are greatly increasing, not only in Nunavut, but in Nunavik (northern Quebec), and in some First Nations communities further South.

Fiji Healing the Land TeamWho are We?
Roger and Marge Armbruster are bridge-builders and advocates of reconciliation and social justice between people groups and cultures. They both minister cross-culturally -- Marge by teaching English to new immigrants in rural southern Manitoba, and Roger by helping to build relationships between various indigenous groups who understand the connection that there is between people and land, with a special focus on the Inuit of Canada's North.
In recent years, the focus has been on joining with indigenous Fijians whose vision is to come alongside and to serve other indigenous communities such as those in Canada's North who would like to do a healing the land process under the authority and covering of the local gatekeepers and authorities.
Roger and Marge have four children--Ruth, who is married to Brian, Sherwood, who is married to Jocelyn, Stephanie and Melodie. Brian and Ruth have one daughter, Shiloh Grace, and Sherwood and Jocelyn have two sons, Isaiah Roger and Luke Benjamin. They also have other adopted family members that they include as family--Crystal Wilson, Billy Desnoyer and Grandma Margaret Loeppky.
