Join us as we kick off the evening with a warm welcome and introduction as guests mingle together, enjoying piano and Native flute music in the backgroud, sharing their stories of involvement in CHIEF.  You will also have the opportunity to meet some of our special guests and speakers in the evening presentation and leadership conference the following day.

Huron Claus, President/CEO of CHIEF, will welcome us and begin our evening journey of the beginning and impactful mission of CHIEF over these five decades.  During the whole event you will witness the story of CHIEF through the skills and talents of living artist, James David Tsoodle.

Witness the love of God’s heart as you meet  Native men and women who have been forever changed and are now becoming Godly influencers among their family, friends, and communities.

It was 50 years ago that God spoke to CHIEF’s Founder, Rev. Tom  Claus regarding the spiritual health and growth of Native Christian Leadership and the indigenous church.  He shared his vision and mandate with Dr. Billy Graham, who had a heart to see the First Nations people hear of God’s greatest gift to all nations.  It is an honor to have Will Graham, the grandson of Dr. Bily Graham, join us and share that same gift this evening.
