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.

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.

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

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...

Since making a commitment to Canada four years ago, most of our outreaches have been in isolated First Nations communities, some of which are incredibly challenging to get to. We've had to fly into communities with no roads leading to them. This summer included taking a 24-hour ferry boat ride to another isolated community we visited. We're known for going to the hard-to-get-to places. But for now, our team's sights are set on an urban community of 50,000 people where close to 5,000 First Nations people call home.
