"This is what hope looks like!"
Those were the only words I could find to describe that golden moment in the last hour of Warrior Leadership Summit 2009.
Over 600 Native young people – from 70 different tribes – were passionately worshipping the Savior who had shown Himself so powerfully here. The intensity of their praise brought tears to my eyes. I know the hard places they come from. I know the grief and despair that’s part of their everyday lives. But I have seen what Christ can do in their lives. So as they fervently sang, “The Lord our God is mighty to save,” I lost it.
The passion of these Native young people was born of the mighty ways God showed up. But the story of the victories at the Summit can only be understood in the context of the embattled months leading up to it. And can only be explained as an answer to your prayer.

A Warrior for Christ
Day three at Warrior Leadership Summit brought some more awesome "Kodak" God moments. We started off with a dear Sioux (Sisseton/Wahpeton) brother of ours talking about Queen Esther from the Bible and how she stood up, took a stand, and reached her own people for Christ, and how these young warriors can take that same stand. It was awesome to hear him challenge them face to face and to see their response as he told them that they needed to take a stand.

A Surge to the Cross
You have helped put on this event. Your prayers have brought us here, and it may very well be that your gifts have literally enabled some of these young people to come here from some corner of North America. We now know that this is definitely the largest Warrior Leadership Summit we’ve ever had. There are 622 people here, and they represent 70 different nations. We have grown from about fifty people not very many years ago, and God continues to enlarge the impact of this conference!
Yesterday morning, a first-time Native speaker here, Pastor Bobby, came and spoke to us and talked about Mary Magdalene. At each session we’re talking about a great warrior of the Bible, because our theme this year is The Warrior Way. We talked about how Mary Magdalene was willing to stick by Jesus when there seemed to be no reason to stick by Him. He had died. He was buried. He’d been in the tomb, and Mary Magdalene refused to defect.
That’s the way of a warrior, and it was a marvelous challenge to young people who will go back to some of the hardest environments in America. There might not be another group of young people for whom that kind of a message would be more important. That’s why we have to pray for these kids, because they go back to toxic places where they stand alone. Here they are not alone and they know that.
