Hutchcraft Ministries

NATIVE: Each summer, Warrior Leadership Summit is attended by hundreds of Native American and First Nations young people from across North America. This week-long conference provides answers - with the Bible as a base - for the significant battles Native young people face every day. The 2023 conferences was attended by over 519 Native youth from across the U.S. and Canada. From this conference, a team of 22 Native young people were selected to travel to seven Native American communities during the month of July. This "Summer of Hope" team hosted seven outreach events, where they are able to share their stories of Hope with thousands of their peers each summer. This strategy of Native young people bringing the hope they have personally found in a relationship with Jesus Christ to their own people has brought many of their people to faith in Christ. On Eagles' Wings also helps provide additional training for Native young people year-round, including Bible school scholarships for those who have been part of the Summer of Hope team. On Eagles' Wings issued several Bible school scholarship recipients.

SPEAKING: There were numerous personal speaking events, including radio interviews, conferences, and churches, reaching thousands of individuals.
