Who are Howard and Charlyne Lane...?
 |
Howard and Charlyne Lane are former residents of Apollo,
PA.. In 1992 they heard God's calling into full time ministry on
the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in South
Dakota . They lived and worked on Rosebud until 1997 when God took them
into a time of further training and preparation for the work He had called
them to. After completing training in British Columbia, Canada and Bohol,
Philippines they joined forces with Youth With A Mission (An international
missions and relief agency) to pioneer the first Native American focused
Y.W.A.M. base in Oklahoma. They are now continuing the work that God has
called them to in Oklahoma working with many Native American tribes
including the Kiowa, Apache, and Comanche Indians. |
|
What is it like in Native American Communities
and Reservations...?
| It is colorful and rich in Indian tradition and history.
We believe some of the most talented artist in the world are from the
Native American communities. There are things to see, culture to
experience, and wisdom to be learned. But Native American community and
Tribal leaders recognize that there are many serious needs among their
people.

How has God equipped
Howard and Charlyne to help...?
 |
Howard, a licensed minister, and his wife, Charlyne, have
been training for cross cultural ministry to Native Americans for many
years through their home church, mission seminars, and a local Bible
School. Both have attended one of the few Native American Universities in
the country to study Native American History, Culture, Politics, Religion
and Language.
|
|
What do the Lanes hope to be doing...?
| The Native American children, teens, and adults are
looking for peace and contentment like anyone else. Howard and Charlyne
have recognized God's calling and equipping on their lives to help. They
believe that God has called them to be instrumental in helping the lost
find the Lord, His love, and their place in His Kingdom, to minister to
the broken hearted, and bring freedom to the captives. They are called to
use their gifts and talents to edify the church and build up the body of
Christ.
|
 |
|
What will the Lanes actually do...?
 |
Partner with committed Christians in Native American
communities to evangelize, and disciple the people to a saving knowledge
of our Lord Jesus Christ. Be slow to speak and quick to listen. "God has
been faithful to give us a strategy."
|
|
Our ultimate goal is to raise mature
Christian young people who will become a generation of leaders among Indian
people, who will in turn raise solid Christian families themselves; and who will
be a powerful force in the Kingdom of God.
To sum it all up...
"Living out the Gospel among Native Americans."
