Heal our Land at Notre Dame

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2022
On September 24th, 2022, believers in Jesus Christ will come together and pray at the Joyce Center on the campus of Notre Dame. The doors will open at 3 pm with the service starting at 4 pm. Seeking God to heal our land, we will come under the name of Jesus Christ.
We live in a spiritual crossroads.
Therefore, we seek to come as 2 Chronicles 7:14 states, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Only God can heal this nation, therefore we will cry out to the one that loves us more than any other.

Native Pastors Gathering 2022
2022-10-17 - 2022-10-20 | Twin Lakes Camp, Florence, MS, 155 Milner Rd, Florence, MS, 39073, United States
The Native Pastors Gathering is a ministry outreach of Occom Ministries in collaboration with Mission to the World, Thirdmill Ministries, CHIEF Inc., and Sacred Road Ministries. It is an effort to provide rest, reflection, and resources to Native American, First Nations, and American Eskimo pastors — especially those who are full-time, bi-vocational pastors.
We recognize that there are many seemingly insurmountable challenges in Native communities. In accordance with the Great Commission, we want to see the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed in every corner of Indian Country. We want to see disciples from every tribe, tongue, and nation ushered into the kingdom of God.
Every disciple of Christ must be thoroughly equipped in the Scriptures to live in this fallen world. We want to come alongside the Native pastor to edify, encourage, and equip help him as he fulfills his call in Christ’s church.

Joy…ALWAYS!by Patricia Fleeger

Our speaker, Patricia Fleeger, Navajo, was born and raised in Gallup, New Mexico, then moved to Chinle at age 13. She and her husband Harold have been married almost 40 years and have 4 children and 14 grandchildren.
Patricia loves working with children and women. She went on to college and received several degrees in Psychology, Special Education, and Educational Leadership. She has been trained in working within thejuvenile system, foster care, mental health, and substance abuse programs.
She really loves directing preschools, teaching and administrating at public and private Christian schools. More recently she has been serving as a missionary and CEO of Native American Youth Ministries.
Patricia was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ at the age of 8. Her love for God is evident in how she serves the Native people with great joy! We have all experienced joy and the lack of joy. We love having joy, but it is sometimes elusive. God’s word gives us some form of the word joy 430 times. It is a topic that is near and dear to God’s heart. It isimportant, necessary, and desired. It is even disobedient to not have joy.
Come and enjoy a practical study on “Joy…ALWAYS” at the CHIEF Native Women’s Fall Conference November 1-2. Our hope and prayer is that it will change you from the inside out.

God's Greatest Gift

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.

Closing Remarks

Conclude the evening with reflections and a look forward to the leadership conference.
