Bringing Hope to Native American Reservations
Two Feathers Ministries exists to glorify God by making disciples of First Nations peoples — encouraging, equipping, and empowering communities through the love of Jesus Christ.
The Need Is Great
Encourage. Equip. Empower.
Native Americans face some of the deepest challenges in our country — the highest suicide rate of any demographic, 49% unemployment, and a substance abuse epidemic that devastates families and communities.
Two Feathers Ministries walks alongside First Nations peoples through personal relationships, community programs, and discipleship. We don't just visit — we build lasting bonds that encourage hearts, equip leaders, and empower communities to discover their God-given purpose.
"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." — Matthew 9:37

Will You Be a Laborer?
There are so many ways to make a difference — give financially, adopt a backpack, donate supplies, conduct a toy drive, or serve alongside us on the reservation. Every act of generosity brings hope to a child and a family.
Stories of Transformation
On behalf of our church family at Nanih Waiya Indian Mennonite Church, I want to express our deepest gratitude for the beautiful Christmas backpacks that were provided for the children this past year. Your generosity brought so much joy and excitement to their hearts, and your kindness truly reflected the love of Christ during this special season.
Because of your giving spirit, children who might have gone without were able to experience the wonder of Christmas — not just through the presents they received, but through the reminder that they are seen, valued, and loved. The smiles, laughter, and happy chatter we witnessed will be cherished memories for years to come.
Thank you for being a vessel of God’s love and for making a difference in the lives of our youngest members. May the Lord bless you abundantly in the coming year, and may His peace and joy fill your heart as richly as you have filled theirs.
“Our family of three has been going with Two Feathers Ministries to help with Vacation Bible School for four years now. We wanted an opportunity to serve God in a way that our young daughter, who was 5 years old the first time we went, could participate in. It has exceeded all our expectations and returning year after year is now the highlight of our daughter’s summers! We know this ministry makes a difference. You can watch the children walk in to VBS tentatively the first day, but leave five nights later having learned that there is a God and people that love them, regardless of what may be going on in their lives at home and school.
The need on the Choctaw reservation for assistance and for Jesus is real. It is a joy to serve them by partnering with Two Feathers Ministries, and we would encourage others interested in serving God close to home to give it a try.”
First, I want to thank the Lord for bringing Rick and Deb into my life. Two Feathers Ministries came onto our reservation with an open heart filled with hope and love. They helped our Lil' church McKinley Mission bring a smile to literally hundreds of children and helped parents cope and accept our Lord Jesus.
Two Feathers is a light of hope. As for myself and my late wife Sherrie Rick and Deb gave us a goal. With there love and support we accomplished a better life. My wife found comfort talking to Deb. And Rick and I are BF. Being a part of Two Feathers is a blessing. I believe their hard work and prayers saved a lot of lives on this Rez. They were always here supporting McKinley in times of need. May our good Lord bless them with Hope Faith and Love that they spread thru Indian country. God Bless.
