Harrison, AR, September 27, 2021. Ron Hutchcraft Ministries hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for their new On Eagles’ Wings Leadership Center, set to be built on their 75-acre campus in the Ozarks of Northern Arkansas. The distinctly Christian educational facility will serve to equip Native American, First Nations and Alaskan Native young people to become leaders for their people. Students, ranging in age from 18 to 25, will learn Biblical studies, life skills, tools for personal growth and leadership skills.

Harrison Mayor Jerry Jackson, joining other community leaders for the event, noted, “The leadership center is another example of the diversity of organizations, ventures, venues and values that reside in Harrison and Boone County. Having this nationally recognized Christian educational facility here speaks volumes about what our community offers.”

Ron Hutchcraft, founder of On Eagles’ Wings and President of Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, said, “Over the years, God has brought us together with some extraordinary Native American, First Nations and Alaskan Native young people who are the face of hope for their people. We are privileged to have a place and a program where their potential can be more fully developed, their faith strengthened, and their lives equipped to lead their people to life-changing hope.”

Melissa Collins, principal broker at Weichert, Realtors-Market Edge, and chair of the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, said “We’re thankful that Ron and the ministry chose to locate the Native American leadership center here. It’s a testament to the gracious hospitality, love, and care that our community provides to all peoples.”

Nick Liew, a Jicarilla Apache and On Eagles' Wings Coordinator, says, "We're excited about the leadership center because there's such a need for it. This center will help us further the growth in leadership that occurs when you get to do life together!"

The On Eagles’ Wings Leadership Center is a multi-million dollar facility and program, currently in planning, building and development stages. The first class of student leaders is hoped to be welcomed in the Fall of 2022.
