24.20 Going Young - Today's Emerging Native Leaders - Nick Lieu and Wes Francis (Part 1)

Today, Craig and LaDonna focus their attention on Going Young as they introduce listeners to an amazing  and effective Native youth ministry called On Eagles Wing' (OEW). This was a ministry Craig and LaDonna were privileged to help lead from 2003 to 2008 along with co-founders, Ron and Karen Hutchcraft.  This  ministry has recruited, trained, and equipped many Native Christian youth to share the gospel among their peers over a thirty year period and they have traveled to well over 100 Native communities in both he U.S. and Canada, seen countless Native youth respond to the gospel, and saw team members become Christian leaders for their generation in an unprecedented way.   In this three part series, you will meet two of the OEW team members who now help lead OEW's continued ministry, Nick Lieu (Apache) and Weston (Wes) Francis (Navajo).  In today's episode, you'll begin to hear the hope story of these two leaders.  You'll be amazed at how God has intervened in their lives, bringing them through great trials and tribulations and turning them into powerhouses of the gospel.  Throughout the series, you'll see how God is using this youth focused ministry to bring hope to many communities in desperate need of hope.  We trust you'll be blessed as Craig and LaDonna bring to you the amazing story of On Eagles' Wings, and the lives they continue to impact for God's glory!
