25.03 A Very Special VIP Visit with Huron and Lois Claus (Part 1)

Indigenous Faith

Today Craig and LaDonna Smith begin a two part visit with some of their closest friends and ministry colleagues, Huron and Lois Claus of CHIEF Ministries. In one of the most fascinating stories of the work of God in the lives of a Native American family, Huron unpackages the multi-generational story of this Mohawk family whose exposure to the gospel goes back to the 1700's. He shares the powerful impact the Claus Indian Family had during their years with Youth For Christ, in partnership with leaders such as Dr. Billy Graham in his early years, and leading all the way up to today, where a deep friendship and partnership remains with Huron, and Billy Graham's children and grandchildren, who lead that organization today. Craig and Huron dig deep into their own shared history and friendship as LaDonna asks Huron's wife, Lois, to relive her early days dating, marrying, and for almost five decades, serving together with Huron in missionary work among Indigenous people all over the Western Hemisphere. It's a fascinating story, both personally and ministry wise which will not only enlighten you, but encourage you in your own family's journey in Christ. We all can make a lasting impact for Christ through many generations if we only allow the Lord to do His work in our lives. Be encouraged, friend, as you meet some of the wonderful Victorious Indigenous People the Smiths are privileged to know, and serve together in this generation. Don't miss next week's edition as well, as the story continues to unfold! Be blessed, dear friend as we pay a visit to Huron and Lois Claus!
