Rev. Nathan Wagenknecht received an invitation to a presentation and discussion sponsored by Native Christians Network and Apache Christian Training School (ACTS). Mr. Aaron Newman, an active member at Christ the Rock in Farmington, N.M., shared how his Christian faith motivates him to serve in his church and community as well as encourage others to lead, instruct, and mentor. This was another step forward in our goal of equipping Native Americans to lead and to serve in their own communities.

Read more about Aaron and his message of how it is possible to be both Native American, proud of the many positive aspects of Native culture, and Christian, proud above all of our Savior, at the same time.
