A special thank you goes out to the many people across this continent who called, sent emails and prayed for our Gathering. Your words of encouragement and loving prayers held our hearts together in the Unity of Jesus Christ!

Gordan Thayer and the Overcomers Praise Team lead in a wonderful time of praise and worship!
Raymond Dunton and Tim Perry closed out the day with anointed teaching.
Tim Perry gathers Native leaders to pray for there people in there own language. A powerful moment and reminder of how Big God is and how small our different nationalities are. Jesus Christ is Lord of every Nation, Tribe and Tongue!
Pastor Steve Yeschek moderated a Discussion Forum to ask the question: Where do we go from here?
Throughout the day people connected at the Ministry Booths and networked. We were blessed with a wonderful feeling of community and caught a vision for what it could be like if we all would work together for the Glory of God's Kingdom and the Redemption and Salvation of the Native people and all people everywhere!
A special thank you to our Senior Pastor Bob Page for his support and encouragement!
