In this, the third and final episode in the VIP interview the Smiths had with Caitlyn Denet, she shares the incredible story of how the Lord used her in the life of her traditional medicine man grandfather as he was at the end of his earthly life. Having been used by God to be a spiritual rescuer among Indigenous youth across North America, God once again used Caitlyn to be the bridge to the gospel for her grandfather! It is a tremendous reminder to us all that our responsibility for our families must include making sure they know and understand the gospel and have an opportunity to respond to it before life ends. The only challenge to that is, we never know when that end will come. That's why it is imperative that we represent Christ before our families now, before it's too late. Caitlyn Denet has a bright future ahead for her as she begins serving as an RA at the new On Eagles' Wings Leadership Center in Harrison, Arkansas, and then from there, she seeks to find the Lord's leading and is open to going wherever the Lord calls her to go. Now that's a true VIP! It brings Craig and LaDonna great joy to present to you some of the amazing Victorious Indigenous People who are living a biblically healthy life in the context of their Indigenous communities, cultures, and traditions. They pray that God will raise up a whole army of VIPs to share the gospel around the Indigenous world before Jesus comes! Amen, and Amen!

In today's second of a three part VIP interview with Navajo young believer, Caitlyn Denet, Craig and LaDonna ask her about the challenges, struggles, and victories she experienced as a Native student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois. After seeing God work in the lives of her parents, who were originally not supportive of her desire to go to Bible School instead of pursuing a degree in Engineering, she left the comfort of Rez life to enter Chicago as one of the only few Native students at Moody. And while it's often the educational institution that shapes the life of the student, Caitlyn begins to unpackage how this "little Rez girl" began to help this longstanding and well respected Christian educational institute realize it was blinded to the issues and needs in Native America. This is often the challenge for us in Indigenous North American ministries, as many evangelical Christian organizations, denominations, and even mission agencies do not have Native America prominently on their radar screens. You'll be amazed to hear how God used Caitlyn Denet to bring a level of awareness and heart to not only students, but the academics and even top level leadership that was not experienced until this Indigenous VIP impacted this prestigious institution for God's glory! And that's why, when she was introduced at her graduation to receive her diploma, she was met with the most amazing round of applause and appreciation by all in attendance! It just goes to show that often times, God's greatest work is done through the underdogs! Way to go, Caitlyn, you represented the Lord and your people well during your time at Moody Bible Institute! Don't miss the concluding episode in this three part series next week as Caitlyn shares what's next in her amazing and productive life as a Victorious Indigenous Person! If God can use Caitlyn, dear friends, He can use any one of us! Don't miss your mark but follow Caitlyn's example of simple faithfulness and saying "yes" to the leading of the Lord in your life! What a great example we have in this young Navajo believer, our dear sister, Caitlyn Denet!

Today, Craig and LaDonna start a three part VIP (Victorious Indigenous People) interview series with Caitlyn Denet from the Navajo Nation. Caitlyn is a young Native evangelist who is being powerfully used by the Lord to bring the gospel to her peers through the wonderful On Eagles' Wings ministry. Like so many of her generation, Caitlyn grew up in the challenges of living in a family that was, in part, followers of the traditional animistic ways of her people, and, in part, followers of Christ and the message of the gospel. Being exposed to both worlds within in her extended family, she was left with a major decision to make. Which road would she follow in her own life? Choosing to follow Christ as a thirteen year old has led her down an amazing road of great opportunities as a member of the On Eagles' Wings team, and a recent graduate of Moody Bible Institute. In today's episode, we get to meet this amazing young woman of God and hear how her spiritual journey began and was strengthened through her exposure to a deeper life in Christ through powerful Native youth ministries, of which LaDonna and I are blessed to continue to be involved in through preaching, teaching, and mentoring. This is a series you won't want to miss as we learn how another typical Rez kid encounters the Living Christ who has made such a difference in her life. We are pleased to present to you someone who can bring encouragement to your own life, dear friend, this week's VIP guest...Caitlyn Denet!
