An influential Native American Christian leader has created a new television network for Native American Christians called the “Native Waves Network.”
“It is up to the leaders of the native tribes to help our people recognize their gifts and callings and to prepare them to share the new direction for the entire nation,” says Dr. Negiel Bigpond, founder of Two Rivers Native American Training Center.
Dr. Bigpond hopes their productions will bring restoration for so many who have been devastated through substance and alcohol abuse.
There are 580 Native Nations in North America, according to Bigpond. The U.S. Center for World Missions states that there are at least 200 Native Nations that have not been reached with the Gospel and over 95 percent of the 3.5 million Native Americans in the United States have not accepted the gospel message.
Bigpond believes Two Rivers offers the only Native-founded, Native-led, culturally sensitive ministry training on the North American continent.
