Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To communicate Christ to the lost in their language; to motivate and equip believers to communicate Christ to the lost in their world.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To communicate Christ to the lost in their language.

NATIVE: Each summer, Warrior Leadership Summit is attended by hundreds of Native American and First Nations young people from across North America. This week-long conference provides answers - with the Bible as a base - for the significant battles Native young people face every day. The 2023 conferences was attended by over 519 Native youth from across the U.S. and Canada. From this conference, a team of 22 Native young people were selected to travel to seven Native American communities during the month of July. This "Summer of Hope" team hosted seven outreach events, where they are able to share their stories of Hope with thousands of their peers each summer. This strategy of Native young people bringing the hope they have personally found in a relationship with Jesus Christ to their own people has brought many of their people to faith in Christ. On Eagles' Wings also helps provide additional training for Native young people year-round, including Bible school scholarships for those who have been part of the Summer of Hope team. On Eagles' Wings issued several Bible school scholarship recipients.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
