What an impactful night at Akina's Fundraising Dinner! Pastor Lowell's powerful message reminded us of the boundless potential of Native American youth, and the transformative power of faith in Christ. We're grateful for those who've partnered with our students' journeys to Akina Camp. It really is an "altar moment" that reminds students of the love of God for the rest of their lives. There's still time to help make camp a reality for students at akinampls.com/dinner

He made history as the first Native American in the U.S. Army granted an exception to policy to wear his hair long in keeping with Ojibwe tradition. In 2016, he also became the first Minnesota National Guard Native Soldier to receive the SAIGE (Society of American Indians and Government Employees) Meritorious Service Award for his outstanding service to Native American communities and the National Guard.

Practicing PSOAP with Akina teens. I added the extra P before SOAP because it's important to pray before you study to prepare yourself to hear from God.

This week is about sharing your faith.

1 Peter 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect;
