Today, Craig and LaDonna focus their attention on Going Young as they introduce listeners to an amazing and effective Native youth ministry called On Eagles Wing' (OEW). This was a ministry Craig and LaDonna were privileged to help lead from 2003 to 2008 along with co-founders, Ron and Karen Hutchcraft. This ministry has recruited, trained, and equipped many Native Christian youth to share the gospel among their peers over a thirty year period and they have traveled to well over 100 Native communities in both he U.S. and Canada, seen countless Native youth respond to the gospel, and saw team members become Christian leaders for their generation in an unprecedented way. In this three part series, you will meet two of the OEW team members who now help lead OEW's continued ministry, Nick Lieu (Apache) and Weston (Wes) Francis (Navajo). In today's episode, you'll begin to hear the hope story of these two leaders. You'll be amazed at how God has intervened in their lives, bringing them through great trials and tribulations and turning them into powerhouses of the gospel. Throughout the series, you'll see how God is using this youth focused ministry to bring hope to many communities in desperate need of hope. We trust you'll be blessed as Craig and LaDonna bring to you the amazing story of On Eagles' Wings, and the lives they continue to impact for God's glory!

In today's episode, Craig, Ryan, and Paul continue to provide information on the development of the newly formed National Association of Native Evangelicals. Its stated purpose, mission statement, and how interested folks can learn more about it through their new website is all included in today's finale. The trio ends the conversation with how listeners can become involved, through prayer, financial support, and other practical ways as NANE hits its stride. New initiatives not considered before are brewing in the minds of the original Board of Directors, and Craig, Ryan, and Paul bring you into the conversation so you know how to pray and become a supporter and promoter of NANE. Craig and LaDonna believe what you'll come away with from this three part series is these men are committed to seeing this organization up, running, and flourishing. You'll also see the heart these men share for the Word of God, prayer, and biblical leadership from their deep devotion to Christ and His Word. To learn more about NANE, you can go to TheNANE.org. Help us spread the word about this new fellowship of likeminded leaders serving across the Native American landscape!

In part two of this three part series, Craig Smith continues his interesting discussion with colleagues, Paul Straubel (director for the Center for Indian Ministries in Bemidji, MN), and Dr. Ryan O'Leary (Ojibwe), the newly appointed president of the National Association of Native Evangelicals, as they discuss this newly formed organization, its goals, purpose, and vision. In today's episode, both Ryan and Paul share their perspectives on why they have sensed the time is now for such an organization to be established to help serve the growing Native evangelical ministries reaching American Indians with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ryan opens a window into his new relationship with the larger and nationally influential National Association of Evangelicals as its most recently elected leader to its Board of Directors. Craig, Ryan, and Paul have been applying the model of the larger NAE organization to the structure in which they are setting up the new NANE organization. The partnership with the larger NAE organization is already opening new doors of communication and much needed dialogue with ministry leaders who could help move cross-cultural ministry right here in the United States forward as they become more aware of the needs and opportunities across Native America. Craig and LaDonna trust this series will be informational and inspirational to you, our dear listeners, as you, too, become aware of this new effort to advance the gospel forward to the many tribes within the borders of the United States of America.
