The construction for the On Eagles' Wings Leadership Center continues. Check out this exciting video update to see the progress, tour the facility, and meet Student Life Coordinators, Seth and Sarah Stevens (Navajo).

The mission of the OEW Leadership Center is to disciple and equip committed Native leaders to be lifetime Jesus-followers, prepared with the skills and strategies needed to be messengers of hope to indigenous and worldwide communities.

Much of the recent construction of the Leadership Center was provided by the Volunteer Christian Builders (VCB), a national team that provides free labor to construct buildings for churches, ministries, and Christian camps.

Founder and President, Ron Hutchcraft is encouraged about this new Native leadership program, and the opportunity to help equip and raise up future leaders for Native America. Ron says, "We prayed that this Leadership Center would be God's 'Miracle in the Ozarks.' Part of His answer was these construction 'warriors' from VCB - skilled builders, selfless volunteers, tireless workers. In these times of inflated costs, they are truly sent by Jesus, the Carpenter they serve!"

Rusty Goin is the project manager for VCB, who has overseen more than 100 projects in the last 11 years. Rusty says, "Hutchcraft Ministries has opened their hearts to us. Their enthusiasm excites our team and makes us eager to help build this leadership center that will help spread the Lord's word to the Native American people."

The first class of students for the On Eagles' Wings Leadership Center is expected to arrive this fall.

Funds are still needed to help complete construction for the On Eagles' Wings Leadership Center. Thank you for your partnership.
