ABORIGINAL MINISTRY
Aboriginal Bible Academy (ABA), formerly known as Native New Life Training Centre, was founded in 1978 with its original purporse of training First Nations people to become effective communicators of the gospel. It continues to be our mandate to serve all Canadian Aboriginal people (First Nations, Métis & Inuit) with the purpose of helping to train and equip indigenous leadership for Christian ministry. However, we are also able to assist any individuals (regardless of Aboriginal status) who desire to study through a distance education system. Whether God has called you to minister from the pulpit or the pew, ABA has the courses you can use to improve your understanding and presentation of God's Word. These inspirational and practical courses use the local church and community as a "learning lab" for the student to apply the knowledge and principles they are gaining.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES
We are working together with a resource team* to provide a greater opportunity of connecting with resources, people and information that assists the local church in ministering to children. Focus is given to missions through first-hand opportunities and projects that support missions are encouraged and promoted. Finally, we encourage children, children's pastors and leaders to participate each year in an exciting and motivating camp experience. Through program and spiritual emphasis services, children have the unique opportunity to experience the deeper things of God!

WOMEN'S MINISTRIES - MISSION CANADA WOMEN
Mission Canada Women exists to disciple, inspire and motivate women to reach their God-given potential. We endeavour to provide resources and opportunities to come together to support and encourage one another. Our goals are a foundation of prayer, a focus on missions and a multi-faceted lifestyle for women to see passion increased, potentialunleashed and purpose fulfilled.
We value relationships with women of every culture and generation. We believe in the intrinsic value of women and their potential to effect the eternal destiny of this generation and beyond. We seek to facilitate and empower women to achieve their God-given dreams. We desire to work with the local church to empower every woman to be a person of influence in her community. As we identify the needs in demographic areas, we can respond with relevance in touching others and living 'Beyond Ourselves.'
