This short documentary is called Mistissini Healing: Two Stories of Intergenerational Trauma.
“A quick update on one of the people in this video, MaryJanes Petawabano. She has now finished her education and is back in Mistissini working with their Native Addicitions program and bringing hope to many that their stories can be changed. And I am excited to tell you that she has also married Jeremiah and I had the privilege of doing their wedding in September 2019. It has been amazing to see God at work in their lives!”
On Wednesday, November 20, 2019 we held a dessert night to tell supporters and friends about what has been happening with Doulos Ministries. We captured the evening on video and here it is.
Paul, along with Gordon Petawabano and Mary-Jane Petwabano, was the speaker at the 10th annual Ottawa Civic Prayer Breakfast on October 25, 2019. Here is a video of the message.
Each summer, Paul and a number of volunteers and youth travel to different Cree nations in Northern Quebec where they run sports camps for the children in the area. These camps increase throughout the weeks they run, and they become more popular every year.
