Father, thank you for sending the promise of the Savior, through Your Son, Jesus, to bring healing to our broken and afflicted world. I ask that You would continue to open doors for us to walk alongside our Native brothers and sisters to share the Light of the Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I finally heard: You are not alone. We have been where you are. We have lived through this struggle. You can be Native and love Jesus.  You can open your eyes and rejoice because you have been offered freedom from the prison of your secrets. We need you. We believe in you. Jesus loves you. You are forgiven.

Heavenly Father, as we await Your coming, we pray that our waiting time is productive, that we prepare ourselves for Your arrival. Let us not be weary in well doing. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Haskell LIGHT will always be about the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the importance of sharing the truth with Haskell Indian Nation University students.

Our time in Oneida reminds me of the story, The Velveteen Rabbit. We grieved, and we shared Jesus. We lost our shine, and we became real.

1 Peter 5:10 says, "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you."

When we are called by God, it is often out of our grasp of understanding, comfort, and everything this world has taught us is normal. 

When Jesus called His disciples to come and follow Him, it was out of complete faith that they stopped everything they were doing and listened. They were willing to take a giant leap of faith to be with Him. Imagine how much different their lives would have been if they hadn’t listened, the blessings they would have missed and the road to salvation they would have squandered for themselves and others.

"My new ministry was to tell people the truth about my insides.  No more mask, no more hiding, and no more pretending.  I shed all of my false perceptions of what I thought I should be, and I embraced the way that God sees me."
