About Us
Honoring Heritage, Sharing Hope
Across many tribes, the eagle feather is a sacred symbol of Truth. At Two Feathers Ministries, we carry that symbolism into our core mission. Established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we are dedicated to sharing the ultimate Truth—the Gospel of Jesus Christ—with indigenous communities, honoring heritage while offering eternal hope.
Since 2007, Rick and Deborah Kesecker have been driven by a singular mission: to share the transformative hope of Christ with Native American communities. What originated as a local church initiative has matured into Two Feathers Ministries, a non-profit dedicated to bridging the gap between the local church and North American reservations.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that true impact requires more than just a visit; it requires a consistent, culturally honoring presence. By mobilizing dedicated teams, we facilitate high-energy Bible camps, discipleship training, and vital outreach programs designed to meet both spiritual and practical needs.
Our Journey
From Corporate to Calling
Foundation in Leadership
With degrees in Management and Finance, Rick and Deborah spent years navigating the dynamics of Fortune 100 firms. These professional skills in strategic planning and team dynamics proved vital when they were asked to build the missions program at Double Oak Community Church (DOCC) from the ground up.

Backpacks to Yakama
After a mission trip to the Yakama Indian Reservation, the Keseckers launched a Christmas campaign to provide children with gift-filled backpacks. This initiative blossomed into a legacy of service — to date, 6,375 backpacks have been delivered to children in Washington, New Mexico, and Mississippi.

Choctaw Backpack Expansion
The Backpacks & Bears program continues its growth, now reaching the children of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. This milestone allows us to place tangible expressions of God’s love—in the form of special gifts and toys—directly into the hands of more children, bridging the gap between a simple smile and spiritual encouragement.
