On Eagles Wings - Ron Hutchcraft Ministries

Discipleship – Warrior Leadership Summit

The Warrior Leadership Summit (WLS) Discipleship Conference is designed to support Native and First Nations youth ministries. Its annual growth is encouraging as well as the growing partnerships with schools and colleges. There is a strong commitment to the continued growth of the conference. In the future, there is the possibility of regional WLS events across North America to feed into the main WLS annual conference. Partnerships are needed to plan these regional WLS events.

Leadership Development

On Eagles' Wings teams have an internal leadership development process we call "Big Brothers and Big Sisters." Veteran team members are assigned younger and newer team members to mentor and disciple. There is a toll-free crisis hotline as well as ongoing spiritual care and nurturing available. Relationships are developed and spiritual growth is encouraged with the Winter Break Retreat. Scholarships are made available for Christian higher education for Native American and First Nations young people. Some Native American and First Nations young people serve as an intern or even on staff for OEW.

Leadership development is available for the local leaders on reservations and reserves across North America. Planning and follow-up manuals and other resources are available to these local leaders. The Native American Leadership Institute (NALI) is also a strong asset to these ministry leaders.
