God Speaks in Native Tongues to Native Hearts
God, the creator of the universe and father of all humankind, speaks to each of us in our heart language.
He knows how to reach and touch each of His children. So it only stands to reason that God has always been speaking to Native American hearts.
While Native American cultural stories, oral traditions and beliefs vary among nations, tribes and clans, there are a few shared themes. Some mention a great power in the sky from which their people descend. Others attribute the creation of all things to him, along with qualities of goodness, wisdom, and perfection.

This is the very essence of the Gospel… God loves, accepts and reaches out to us where we are, as we are. His Son is His gift, freely given. All we do is receive this gift. It’s that simple. And that profound.

Native Focused. Native Led.
To reach Native Americans, God is using Native Americans. Our aim is to prepare Native leaders to share the Gospel with their brothers and sisters. Those who share their heritage and culture. Understand their pain and sorrows. Are intimate with their hardships and struggles.
Those who are themselves experiencing firsthand the one true answer to all of their peoples’ trauma, abuses, betrayals, and brokenness—the love and forgiveness of Christ.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. –John 3:16”
