We welcomed Special Guests from Finland on their cross-Canada tour… Meet Majataloilta!

Majataloilta is a relaxed Christian gathering, that started in the early 1990s in Riihimäki, Finland, offering music and encouraging messages in churches across Finland and beyond. Majataloilta is all about community, hope, and space to explore faith—just as you are.

Pekka Simojoki is a beloved Finnish gospel musician and the founder of Majataloilta, who often leads the music together with the EtCetera choir, Ilkka Puhakka is an evangelist known for his direct and colorful speaking style and has been a long-time speaker at Majataloilta events, and Jukka Jämsen is a pastor and mission expert from the Lapua Diocese who shares insights on prayer and meaningful, human-sized stories.

The Majataloilta experience was meaningful; it combined heartfelt music, honest storytelling, and a welcoming atmosphere that made faith feel accessible, personal, and shared.
