Mission

We want to grow in mutual friendship and devotion to Creator Jesus in partnership with North America's Tribal Peoples, encouraging them in their cultural identity and as followers of Jesus to take their rightful place in all spheres of society. We are committed to assist Native people to know Creator God and to make Him known by developing interdependent relationships and through purposeful, positive programs such as: * Gatherings that celebrate Creator Jesus in ways distinctly Native in structure, style, and philosophy. * Capacity-building training for indigenous followers of Jesus * Cultural exchange through sending and hosting outreaches

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Native Americans and Indigenous people in general have experienced tainted forms of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Often, those who came in his name were also motivated by the doctrine of discovery. Their collusion with governments caused loss of land, culture, and influence for Indigenous people. We seek to show that the biblical Gospel is for all people and can be expressed equally well in any culture, while remaining faithful to Creator's revelation in scripture and through his son Jesus, Creator-sets-free.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

1. See Tribal people grow in their relationship with Creator God and his son Jesus, Creator-sets-free.
2. Work toward improving economic conditions for Native people through encouragement and provision of sound principles of budgeting, credit management, and advocacy for living wages.
3. Encouraging Native people to reach out to other tribes and people, affecting positive change in their own and other peoples lives through healthy family and community relationships.

1. Intensive personal mentoring relationships
2. Interactive training with small groups of Native people
3. "Talking Circles" for men to provide opportunities for sharing and personal ministry
4. Weekly Radio program on KIYE 88.7 and 105.5 FM Voice of the Nimiipuu Radio to encourage Native cultural expression for Followers of Jesus.
5. Developing Online Discipleship Resources (video, podcasts, storytelling) for indigenous people to access from anywhere.

1. Caring staff members meet and work with individuals as well as through Native churches and groups in the community.
2. Due to a current lack of our own meeting facilities, we are able to utilize church and community resources.
3. Additional funding will help us build or acquire a modest ministry and hospitality house to host discipleship training.

Their is still great need to see many more Native people of our communities encouraged by assisting them to build capacity and seeing practical needs met.
Raising further capital will allow us to rent/own a facility for training and outreach.
