On Eagles Wings - Ron Hutchcraft Ministries

It was the summer of broken chains!

The participants at the Warrior Leadership Summit conference all wore them. Paper chains that symbolized the real bondages of young Native lives - the sins, the addictions, the pain.

As I stepped out on the stage the final night, I walked through broken “chains” everywhere. Throughout the week, these once-hopeless young people had torn them off and left them at Jesus' cross. They came enslaved. They left free! And now they would help set others free.

Update from Team Canada

A Gathering of the Nations

Huge crowds lined the way as athletes from hundreds of Nations passed by during the opening ceremonies of a much anticipated international sporting event. No, I'm not talking about the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. What I'm referring to is where a gathering of close to 5,000 athletes would compete and represent their nations.

Update from Team Canada

Hard to get to...Even harder to leave!

There couldn't be a greater contrast from the last urban community to where the caravan was now heading.

Update from Ron Hutchcraft with Team U.S.

You've prayed.  You've gotten others to pray.  You may have given to send an On Eagles' Wings warrior.  You need to know what God has done through Team U.S...

477 Native American young people have given their hearts to Jesus Christ!

And there's more.  Starting with the story of the team's final reservation before reaching out at the largest Native youth event on the continent...

No Gospel witness.  At best, a handful who know Christ.
And a community ripped by gangs and violence.

That's the tragedy of the "Panther Point" reservation - the final stop for Team U. S. in the Summer of Hope 2008.  Clearly, the enemy does not plan to relinquish his hold on this hurting place.  He's been able to keep the Light out for a long time.  And On Eagles' Wings is all about that Light.
