“Northern Lights Gospel Mission”
Erin Weaver

The imagery of this banner is the old waterfront building which used to be the Northern Lights Gospel Mission.  Today it is the Waterfront Lodge.  I also included the Mission plane and a fisherman in the banner.

Impact North, or Northern Lights Gospel Mission has a very rich history. Irwin Schantz started the mission in 1953 with two other men, along with their brave wives and children.  There are many great stories from our veteran missionaries.  The waterfront building was the original headquarters.  Now it is behind the Saan Store.

The only reason I am up in the Red Lake district is because my dad works for Impact North.  The Mission is a big part of my life. My relationship with God is also important, so I thought I should show some history of God’s people in Red Lake.
