One of the most mistreated and forgotten people groups in this country is the Native American population. Facing incredibly high rates of alcoholism, sexual abuse and suicide, Native Americans are a group in need of the love, hope and healing of Jesus. This weekend on Missions Today, Ron Hutchcraft joins us to talk about his mission, the work of On Eagle’s Wings, a ministry who seeks to empower young people to share the hope they've found in Jesus with their own people and equip them to make a difference in their communities. That’s on this episode of Missions Today!

He was 20 years in business before he and his family were called into mission work. He went from senior management positions to living with his family in South Central Los Angeles. What he quickly found there was a lack of fathers and male leaders to engage in his work. The truth is many were incarcerated. That revelation led Dr. Ruder into work with Lifeline Global Ministries, an organization dedicated to coming alongside men and women in prison and organizations that work with such to provide curriculum and training to transform lives. Hear about the important work on Lifeline Global on this episode of Missions Today.
