HUTCHCRAFT MINISTRIES INC

NATIVE - EACH SUMMER, WARRIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT BRINGS TOGETHER NATIVE AMERICAN AND FIRST NATIONS YOUNG PEOPLE FROM ACROSS NORTH AMERICA FOR A WEEK-LONG CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES THEY FACE, USING THE BIBLE AS A FOUNDATION. IN 2025, 550+ NATIVE YOUTH AND LEADERS FROM THE U.S. AND CANADA ATTENDED THE CONFERENCE. FOLLOWING THE EVENT, 35 NATIVE YOUNG PEOPLE WERE SELECTED TO FORM THE "OEW HOPE TEAM." THROUGHOUT JULY, THIS TEAM TRAVELED TO SIX NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES, HOSTING 18 OUTREACH EVENTS AND SHARING PERSONAL STORIES OF FAITH WITH THOUSANDS OF THEIR PEERS. ON EAGLES' WINGS ALSO HAS A GAP-YEAR PROGRAM FOR YOUNG NATIVE LEADERS WHO HAVE SERVED ON THE OEW HOPE TEAM. THIS PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON EQUIPPING THESE YOUNG LEADERS WITH SKILLS AND TOOLS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN MAY 2025, THE ON EAGLES' WINGS LEADERSHIP CENTER GRADUATED EIGHT STUDENTS, AND WELCOMED TEN NEW STUDENTS IN SEPTEMBER 2025. THIS PEER-LED OUTREACH MODEL CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE IN ENCOURAGING SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AMONG NATIVE YOUTH. ON EAGLES' WINGS ALSO PROVIDES ONGOING SUPPORT AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING ISSUING BIBLE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS TO SEVERAL PARTICIPANTS FROM THE OEW HOPE TEAM.

CREATIVE: IN 2025, THE CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLAYED A CENTRAL ROLE IN TELLING THE STORY OF WHAT GOD IS DOING THROUGH HUTCHCRAFT MINISTRIES. FROM THE POWERFUL MOMENTS OF WARRIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT'S "WAY OF THE WARRIOR" TO THE FAR-REACHING IMPACT OF THE OEW SUMMER OF HOPE, THE TEAM CAPTURED AND CREATED MEDIA THAT BROUGHT THESE EXPERIENCES TO LIFE THROUGH HIGHLIGHT VIDEOS, PROMOTIONAL CONTENT, AND DONOR-FOCUSED STORYTELLING THAT REVEALED LIVES BEING CHANGED. THAT SAME CREATIVE EFFORT EXTENDED INTO WORSHIP, HELPING BRING THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR ALBUM TO LIFE THROUGH ARTWORK AND LYRIC VIDEOS THAT NOT ONLY ENHANCED THE SUMMIT EXPERIENCE BUT CONTINUED TO REACH PEOPLE ONLINE. BEHIND THE SCENES, THE TEAM ALSO SUPPORTED ONGOING MINISTRY VOICES PRODUCING BOTH AUDIO AND VIDEO FOR THE GO M.A.D. PODCAST, WHILE HELPING LAUNCH LISA'S NEW PODCAST, THRIVE IN THE MESS, ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS UPCOMING WEBSITE. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE CREATIVE TEAM ALSO HELPED DOCUMENT AND AMPLIFY KEY MINISTRY GATHERINGS LIKE PRESIDENT'S RETREAT 2025, CAPTURING MESSAGES FROM RON, DOUG, AND BRAD, ALONG WITH MEANINGFUL MOMENTS IN VIDEO, AUDIO, AND PHOTOGRAPHY. THESE RESOURCES NOT ONLY PRESERVED WHAT GOD DID DURING THE EVENT BUT ALSO EQUIPPED DONOR REPRESENTATIVES WITH POWERFUL TOOLS TO SHARE THAT IMPACT. AT THE OEW LEADERSHIP CENTER, THE TEAM CONTINUED TO SERVE BY SUPPORTING MEDIA PRESENTATIONS AND RECORDING CLASSES AND CHAPELS HELPING EXTEND THE REACH OF LEADERSHIP TRAINING BEYOND THE ROOM. THIS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO STORYTELLING IS ALSO SEEN IN A WORD WITH YOU, WHERE THE TEAM FAITHFULLY PRODUCES RECORDINGS AND KEEPS THE WEBSITE UPDATED WITH TRANSCRIPTS AND VISUALS THAT MAKE EACH MESSAGE ACCESSIBLE. IN ADDITION, THE CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SUPPORTING DONOR EMAIL CAMPAIGNS, E-NEWS, AND OTHER OUTREACH EFFORTS THAT KEEP SUPPORTERS CONNECTED TO THE MISSION. LOOKING AHEAD, THE TEAM IS ACTIVELY WORKING WITH 5Q TO REDESIGN HUTCHCRAFT.COM, AIMING TO CREATE A STRONGER, MORE ENGAGING USER EXPERIENCE WITH IMPROVED PERFORMANCE AND SEARCH VISIBILITY. ACROSS EVERY PROJECT, THE GOAL REMAINS THE SAME: TO CLEARLY AND CREATIVELY COMMUNICATE THE LIFE-CHANGING WORK GOD IS DOING AND TO HELP MORE PEOPLE SEE, HEAR, AND JOIN THAT STORY.
