Upcoming Native American Awareness Conference with John Piper and Native Pastor Huron Claus



You are invited to join a special Native American Awareness Conference hosted by Dr. John Piper at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 11 & 12, 2009, Friday, 6:00–9:00 PM & Saturday, 8:00 AM–2:30 PM. The purpose of the conference is two-fold. Dr. Piper will be challenging the church at large to gain a heart in partnership with Native ministries. He will also be giving a charge to the Native pastors, leaders, and fellow ministers to continue to lift up the name of Christ to the Indigenous Nations in the Americas.
Huron Claus, President of CHIEF Inc., from Phoenix, Arizona, will be another guest speaker and will be communicating the picture of ministry among Native Americans in the 21st Century. There will be displays and exhibits of various Native ministries and opportunities to partner with the ministries represented.
Did you know that though Native Americans have been exposed to the gospel for more than 500 years, only 5% of them have become believers? Join us for this conference, designed to inspire and equip Christians for Native American outreach. Guest speakers Pastor John Piper, Greg Mott, and Huron Claus.

Our theme is "Maajiigin," the Ojibwe word meaning "beginning" or "begin to grow." We pray that God would use this conference to plant his Word deep in us, water it, and grow our love for and awareness of the Native American community. The conference sessions will better equip us to effectively reach out to Native Americans with the gospel.
