TOGETHER.
SHAPING THE FUTURE.

As a Christian Mission,  our services are designed specifically to help bring Gods hope to Life in Native America.   YOU are helping us make a difference in a big way!   You make it possible for us to provide a wide variety of services that touch the lives of hundreds of people across the largest Indian Reservation in the United States. 

Many of you made generous gifts at the end of the year!  We couldn't do all we do without you! 

THANK YOU

2015 is off to a great start!    Here are some of the ways YOU are helping us make a difference!

Hilltop Christian School

Hilltop Continues to GROW!   We are approaching 60 students this year,  with a gifted and qualified staff!    Mr. Eric Tiger is doing a terrific job as our School Principal.

This past week our students participated in a Reservation wide spelling bee!   They did very well.   We are looking forward to getting some new plants in our new hoop house this spring. 

We had a wonderful Christmas Season,  complete with special Christmas Programs that packed the house. 
 
We received special hats, blankets, gloves and gifts for the Hilltop children, elderly and needy families.  Thank you for the great blessing of giving to those who fight the cold!

We are also looking forward to some spring break visiting teams,  who will help rebuild some porches,  and do some other maintenance.     

Pray with us for some new playground equipment! 
 

WISDOM KEEPERS

Each year,  Christ for Native Youth hosts a training event for those who work directly with students on various Indian Reservations in the southwest.  

This year, over 70 youth workers came to Albuquerque to learn more about working with youth:   we talked about purity,  about how to share the gospel,  and about "accelerating" our efforts in reaching more students with the life changing message of Jesus Christ.   
Dino Butler & Praise Band

What a blessing to see groups of caring adults talk about their concerns for Native students, and pray for one another...worship with them as they let go of their worries... We heard comments like,

"we need to understand teen depression...have to deal with domestic abuse...neutral gender..." 

"I want to know how to do ministry for youths that are affected on daily life with suicide and teen pregnancy."   

 

 

Please be praying about our next youth leaders retreat coming up April 10-12 in Durango CO!    www.nativeyouth.com

Radio Broadcasting

February is "March "Madness"  for our local sports broadcasting on all three of our radio stations.   We have the privilege of being the voice for our local high school sports broadcasting. 

Greg Lewis,  our  Radio Broadcasting Director put together a good team of people who follow at least three local High Schools broadcasting football and basketball.

We are also looking forward to installing a new FM transmitter this spring which will expand our potential listening audience -  and improve our signal in Arizona and New Mexico!   We are especially blessed to have a NEW - quality transmitter - purchased by our listeners- which took over three years of generous giving.   THANK YOU!

Encounter Summer Teams
Help Wanted

  We have a great opportunity for you to come join us to help rebuild our dorm - which will double as a retreat house and pastoral training center.   We also have some much needed maintenance and construction projects on our campus in Window Rock.   We depend on youth groups,  adult teams,  etc., to come and help!   These  "Encounter Teams" (formerly SWIM Teams)  come on a cross cultural service team,  and build relationships with some new friends,  get to know another culture,  and help share the love of Jesus!   We still have some spots open for YOUR group.
