Our
Purpose is to strengthen and encourage Native leaders, their
spouses, and their workers through a 4-5 day teaching and
training meeting. We provide Information for the ministry
using Native ministers and Bible resources, we pray for
Impartation through a fresh in-filling of the Holy Ghost
believing that every minister will receive a fresh
anointing. We also work towards developing Interaction we
believe in developing relationships and unity between all
churches and ministries. |

In 1984
we stepped out into full time ministry. We were called to
pastor a small Native church on the Fort Peck Indian
reservation in Poplar, Montana . During this time we
struggled and became frustrated in many areas; our finances,
Sunday school programs, administration, adult Bible studies,
outreaches, even in my own home and marriage. We constantly
cried out to God, asking Him to send us some help. As I look
back, I realize that most of my frustrations resulted from
the lack of training. We lacked the tools, the resources,
and the Biblical principles to successfully build a strong,
vibrant church for Jesus. We have spent the last 24 years of
ministry educating ourselves, gathering resources, and
locating Native ministries with the same burden and vision
to help build the Kingdom of God on Indian reservations. |
Our
Vision “Look upon the horizons and see the promises of
God ”(N.A.S.) Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no
revelation, the people are unrestrained"
|
During
this season of struggle the Lord spoke these words into our
spirit. The Spirit of the Lord gave us the revelation. The
word Horizons means and represents "endless
possibilities."
It has been said that "Vision" is a clear mental image of a preferable future. This
is what we see as endless possibilities.

We target the smaller
Native churches in remote areas that lack the finances and many
times are over-looked for such workshops and training.
How can I get involved ?
|
•
Would your church or business like to host a Bible
Conference?
• Would your church or
business be willing to financially sponsor a Native family making
it possible for them to attend a Bible conference?
• $200.00 will
sponsor an entire family to attend one of these conferences. This
includes their meals, lodging, and resources.
• We always need
laborers to help prepare and serve meals.
• If you are a Native
Pastor or a leader and are willing to donate your time, skills,
and talents to train others.
• We need Intercessors to come along
side of us and pray for the success of these meetings. If you are
interested or have a desire to get involved please contact us at |
