25.30 A VIP Visit with Adrian Staples and Miles Davenport (Part 1)

Today, the Smiths launch a VIP visit with two young, next generational Native leaders serving with the On Eagle's Wings team.  Adrian Staples is a home boy from Cass Lake, MN and actually a relative of Craig's.  Craig's grandmother was a Staples, so the family ties are there.  Miles Davenport is from Tama, IA, and represents the Meskwaki Tribe, which is part of the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.  Together these two resemble Paul and Barnabas of the New Testament who have become very close and serve throughout the years in ministry work, along side of their leadership roles with On Eagle's Wings.  In today's episode, both Miles and Adrian share their backstories of how and when they came to Christ.  Both experienced genuine salvation but in very different ways and circumstances.  But now their service for the Lord is build upon a passionate devotion to Christ.  You'll be encouraged by the ministries these young men share in together, and the number of lives they've impacted for Christ already.  Both men articulate a strong calling to minister the gospel as a life calling, and that bodes well for the future of Native evangelical ministry.  What a joy it is for Craig and LaDonna to bring to you the life and times of these two amazing warriors for Christ!  They know you'll be blessed as you join them for each episode to follow!  Stay strong, dear friend, in your own walk in the Lord as these two men are doing.  See you next week!
