Mending Wings exists to mend the brokenness that has resulted from old models of missiology that taught Native Americans they had to abandon their culture to become Christian. Corey Greaves, founder of Mending Wings, shares a sermon with us, touching on the historical context of the subjugation and discrimination of their people, as well as the hope that springs from the realization of a contextualized gospel. By using their cultural practices of drumming, chanting, and dancing for Jesus, Mending Wings has helped many to tangibly see the restorative hope of Jesus in their lives.

On earth, we live as those under a spell, caught in the vortex, trapped in the madness. Jesus insists that there is a way of being that is markedly different. Awakenings are possible!
