Dear Family and Friends,

On a recent visit to the Warm Springs Reservation in Eastern Oregon, our hearts were thrilled and encouraged as we connected with the Youth Ministry, “On Eagle’s Wings”. A group of approximately fifty Native American teenagers travels from one reservation to another sharing with other teens their love for the Lord Jesus and challenging them to commit their lives to the life changing truths of the Gospel. They reported that nearly fifty teens on the Yakima Reservation and another fifty on the Warm Springs Reservation indicated a desire to know Jesus as their Savior.

The great need now is that these young people be discipled in God’s Word and that their interest and desire be brought to full fruition resulting in a strong faith and commitment to our Lord Jesus. One of the strongest hopes for reaching the Native American peoples lies in reaching the youth with the Gospel. Please pray that God will continue His good work in their lives and that they can stand strong against the prevalent evils of drugs, alcohol, and suicide. Pray that a vital discipleship ministry will be available to them.

Love and Gratefulness to you, our Partners,
