God’s marvelous work in Native youth
|
|
|
The On Eagles’ Wings Leadership Center has been active for only a few years, but Brad Hutchcraft with Hutchcraft Ministries says they’ve already seen God do incredible things. The students who sign up for the program have already traveled with the On Eagles’ Wings Hope team during the summer and are looking for the next steps in ministry and development.
Hutchcraft says, “It’s really about multi-generational discipleship and passing just this knowledge of Jesus and the Word of God to dependable future teachers. We get to do that at the OEW Leadership Center day in and day out.”
Many of these students have had leaders faithfully pour into them and the teaching at the Leadership Center seeks to further that teaching by diving deep into many topics. This teaching prepares them for a variety of paths and the leadership team has seen God open doors consistently for their students. “This leans into Psalm 118:23. We say this often around our hallways, ‘The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes,’” Hutchcraft says.
“Some of those marvelous things we’re seeing are these graduates who choose to pursue further schooling, such as two of our graduates now at Moody Bible Institute. We’re seeing graduates who head straight into ministry. They feel like they’ve gotten equipped. One young man, he’s a pastoral intern in North Dakota in a Native community. And there’s a young lady who just graduated and is now in a key leadership role with a ministry among Indigenous young people in Canada.” (Mission News Network) Read More Here |

Abba Father we REJOICE at this wonderful praise report celebrating native students being empowered, through the Holy Spirit, to continue growing in the Lord and sharing the Gospel with those in their community. We ask for You to bless 'On Eagles' Wings Leadership Center' for mentoring young believers in sharing truths about Jesus inside indigenous communities. In the Name of Yeshua, we declare each student who attended the center will be used mightily by God and will share marvelous testimonies of deliverance, broken strongholds and miraculous healing in the lives of their own people. We celebrate alongside the many new believers who will commit to Christ and enter into His Holy Kingdom! In the powerful Name of Jesus, we pray this prayer. Amen
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?" (Romans 10:14)

BREAKING: Trump Handed Huge Election Win as Supreme Court Allows Voter Verification Database to Stand
|
|
President Donald Trump scored a huge victory on Friday after the Supreme Court ruled that his administration can continue using Social Security records to verify voters’ citizenship status.
The unsigned opinion stems from an executive order issued by Trump back in March titled: “PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS.”
The president directed the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to establish a system that would allow state and local governments to verify voters’ citizenship and immigration status, in the name of securing U.S. elections.
The high court’s three liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented. (The Western Journal) Read more here

Lord, this is a huge hope for election integrity. When non-citizens vote in elections, it not only violates the US Constitution, it can change the true outcome. We praise You for this decision, and ask that it be preserved. As the Trump administration had to wait on You, we pray for You to help us keep hope alive through all that the nation faces.
“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14)

Trump Immigration Crackdown Pushing Illegal Aliens Out U.S. Banking System
|
|
The number of non-citizens engaged in the U.S. banking system has fallen sharply amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal migrants.
Immigrants have been closing bank accounts and going back to keep cash in their homes, according to a report by Bloomberg.
Migrants are also taking out fewer loans, the news organization added. Consumer loans to illegal aliens fell by 70 percent since 2024. And lenders are beginning to shy away from entering into such deals to begin with.
“We’ve seen a reduction overall in people who come for financial services, education services, workforce development,” said Hispanic rights activist Erica Serna, the associate director of financial empowerment for UnidosUS. She added that the current atmosphere is “truly frightening for families.”
Serna’s sentiment was echoed by the Biden administration when, in 2023, Biden’s federal regime began threatening banks with costly federal investigations if they did not grant risky loans to illegal migrants. (Breitbart) Read more here.

DOJ Asks SCOTUS To Stop Judicial Sabotage Of Deportations — Again
|
|
The Department of Justice asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to once again shut down a lower court blockade against a key part of its deportation policy.
In its emergency application for stay, the Trump administration requested that the justices pause a lower court order by Massachusetts-based District Judge Brian Murphy. The Biden appointee’s directive seeks to block the government’s deportation of illegal aliens to third countries (aka countries not of their national origin).
As noted by U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer, this is the “third time the government has been forced to seek emergency relief” from SCOTUS in this case. The first instance occurred last year, when the high court paused (6-3) Murphy’s preliminary injunction blocking third-country deportations.
Not to be outdone, Murphy issued a directive to the federal government hours later, claiming that his initial hold on the policy was not affected by the Supreme Court’s ruling. The administration subsequently asked the high court to clarify its order. This time, in a 7-2 decision, the justices affirmed that its ruling did, in fact, cover Murphy’s initial injunction.

Holy God, You have given ‘choice’ to the sons of men. But many activist judges are choosing to block every action of the Trump administration, in hopes of throwing problems to anything the President does. We pray that these actions will stop. The Supreme Court ruled against them previously, but they refused to adhere to the ruling. We bind lawlessness in the courts, and ask that Your Spirit bring real repentance.
“Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13)

Trump Rejects Iran Ceasefire, Expects Bombing to Resume After Midterms
|
|
President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal for a seven-day ceasefire and told aides he expects U.S. bombing of Iran to resume after the November midterm elections, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal, citing U.S. officials, reported Friday that Trump has turned down Tehran's proposal, which would halt hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
Under the proposal outlined by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz at the end of a seven-day period if Washington agreed to a series of conditions, including lifting its naval blockade of Iranian ports, waiving sanctions on Iranian oil sales, and observing a ceasefire that would include Lebanon.

Lord of Truth, there is always an agenda behind anything the terrorist regime of Iran proposes. Thank You that President Trump saw through it. We pray that You will bring about change and full accountability in the government of Iran, and mercy upon their ordinary people. May this war be completed quickly, and the transformation of the regime be completed.
“God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.” (Psalm 55:19)

2. AG postpones tenders for E1 settlement project; Smotrich accuses her of election meddling - Times of Israel
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Sunday ordered a postponement of the tender process for the controversial E1 settlement project, citing concerns that advancing the project during the campaign could be used for electioneering. The move drew a furious reaction from far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who accused her of meddling in the vote.
Baharav-Miara ordered a monthlong postponement of the deadline for submitting bids to build 1,234 housing units in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, pushing the deadline beyond the October 27 national election.
Gali Baharav-Miara’s office announced the decision “to postpone the deadline for submitting bids by one month, so that this date will fall after election day” in order to “reduce concern over the tender being used for election propaganda.” (Read more)

Dutch authorities have increased baggage checks on travelers arriving from Israel at Schiphol Airport following the introduction of a ban on goods from Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and areas of Jerusalem.
Nieuwsrecht reported that customs officers stopped passengers from Tel Aviv in the airport’s “Nothing to declare” corridor one day after the restrictions took effect.
According to the outlet, every passenger arriving on the El Al flight was directed to have their luggage scanned.
Additional inspections were later conducted with the involvement of a Royal Netherlands Marechaussee unit, Nieuwsrecht reported. (Read more)

5. Iran-linked social media accounts posing as Israelis to target election, investigation reveals - Jerusalem Post
Iranian-linked actors have been linked to a series of social media accounts posing as Israeli citizens, where they are posting allegations about the upcoming election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and divisive issues such as the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) draft, according to a new open-source intelligence investigation published by Golden Owl.
AI-powered open-source intelligence platform Golden Owl published its investigation on Thursday, which mapped what appears to be an Iranian-linked interference campaign in a two-phase investigation conducted between August 22 and September 22. Researchers analyzed 21,533 posts and flagged 1,516 for anomalies, including election misinformation, foreign framing, and anomalous account identities or behavior.
Despite voting not opening until October 27, multiple accounts were found to have published preemptive claims that the election result would be stolen, while several others published false information about the vote itself. (Read more)

1. WATCH: Trump Hosts Xi in Pomp-Filled Ceremony- Breitbart
President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on Thursday in a pomp-filled ceremony, followed by an extended meeting between the presidents away from reporters.
There were countless reporters, photographers, and videographers at the White House for the state visit, and tensions flared among Chinese press and a White House photographer on the South Lawn over positioning to capture images of the two presidents.
The visit began with a welcome ceremony on the South Lawn, where Trump and first lady Melania Trump greeted Xi and Madam Liyuan Peng.
Moments later, Trump and Xi delivered remarks in the Grand Foyer. The president said the two would discuss security, technology, and artificial intelligence, and spoke of the friendship he and Xi have forged as “built on mutual respect and the vital interests of our people.”
Trump also noted that the Board of Trade the two countries established in May is “working to encourage a more balanced trading relationship.”
Xi spoke after Trump and, at one point, focused on artificial intelligence (AI). The United States and China are the leading countries on AI, and much has been made of the “AI arms race” between the countries. (Read more)

Thank You, Lord, for the President’s ability to create diplomacy even with our adversaries. Even though his critics complain that he shouldn’t engage with them, he knows that relationships with honor matter tremendously. Whether major agreement were met or not doesn’t matter, as Your work is the most important.
“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.“ (Romans 12:10)

2. Xi’s 100K invitation to America’s youth sets off alarm bells over what could follow them home- Fox News
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s invitation for 100,000 young Americans to visit China over the next five years is raising concerns among critics who warn Beijing could use the exchange program to spread propaganda and influence a new generation of Americans.
Xi made the announcement Thursday during a White House arrival ceremony, as he visited Washington this week for talks with President Donald Trump on artificial intelligence, intellectual property, trade practices and rare-earth minerals.
Xi said China will invite 100,000 young Americans over the next five years for exchanges and study, building on existing programs that have included university visits, summer programs, youth forums and other educational and cultural exchanges.
China created its Young Envoys Scholarship program, administered by the China Education Association for International Exchange, to carry out Xi’s earlier 2023 pledge to invite 50,000 young Americans for exchanges and study. Some trips are fully funded, while others require participants to cover expenses, with the stated goal of strengthening ties between Chinese and American youth.
While some supported the program, many critics slammed the idea over propaganda and safety concerns.
"This is clearly intended to indoctrinate young Americans in China," Manhattan Institute fellow Daniel Di Martino posted to X. "But if some people should go, let the DSA members and let them see the Uyghur concentration camps and poor rural villages. Let them speak to the political prisoners. And let them visit and meet Hong Kongers." (Read more)

Lord, we ask for great wisdom for our leaders. This offer could easily indoctrinate our already vulnerable students in the leftist communist ideology. If this situation comes to pass, we pray that You will choose only students whose knowledge of history and truth is strong.

3. Appeals court upholds Pentagon's exclusion of Claude from supply chain- Just the News
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday upheld the Department of War's decision to remove Anthropic AI product Claude from its supply chain.
"The Department had ample support for its conclusion that the continued integration of Claude into the Department’s information systems, by the Department or its contractors, presented a statutorily covered national-security risk," the court wrote.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth initially ordered Claude's exclusion under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018.
"[I]n our Republic, it is the President and the Secretary of War who must determine how best to balance the competing risks," the court wrote. "In doing so here, the Secretary did not transgress any limits on his authority under the Supply Chain Security Act or the Constitution."
The ruling follows a federal judge in California finding that the Pentagon had inappropriately labeled Anthropic as a "supply chain risk." (Read more)

Lord, AI (“superintelligence”) is a powerful technology that can be used for both good and evil. Thank You that the Pentagon removed a particular AI that has caused problems in other places. We ask that as this technology grows, You stand near with Your wisdom, knowledge, and discernment covering all humans involved. Please protect our national security from evil.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

4. 'Squad' Democrat slammed by Trump admin for most 'radical' plan targeting ICE yet- Fox News
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin is firing back at a progressive House Democrat who is pushing one of the most radical Trump administration crackdowns yet.
Mullin and his DHS spokesperson both criticized legislation by Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., a member of the progressive "Squad," that would dismantle most of the department and abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"Radical leftists are calling to defund the police and abolish DHS. It’s NEVER going to happen. Our 270,000 DHS patriots are keeping Americans SAFE— unlike this open-borders politician who refuses to prioritize Americans over illegal aliens," Mullin told Fox News Digital.
His spokesperson went even further, telling Fox News Digital that Ramirez "should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these dangerous criminals from her district—NOT vilifying law enforcement."
"This type of rhetoric is contributing to a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line," the DHS spokesperson said. "While sanctuary politicians smear ICE, law enforcement is arresting criminals and saving countless American lives." (Read more)

5. Abdul El-Sayed’s Sister Agrees He Is ‘Not a Capitalist’- Breitbart
Abdul El-Sayed’s sister said the Michigan Democrat Senate candidate is “not a capitalist” in a video published Thursday, contradicting how he has described himself to voters.
In the video recorded during the Socialism 2026 conference, held September 4-7 in Chicago, an attendee told El-Sayed’s sister, Eman Abdelhadi, that their nephew had started knocking on doors for his campaign but was uneasy about the way El-Sayed describes his politics.
“Hey, I just want to say thank you for everything you said,” the attendee told Abdelhadi. “Also, my nephew just started going to U of M, and I got him actually door-knocking for Abdul.”
“Yeah, ohh!” Abdelhadi said. “Ohhh amazing!”
“He got super sketch about it with the whole ‘I’m a capitalist,’” the attendee said. “I was like, ‘Dude, don’t worry about that. Abdul is not a (xxx) capitalist.’” (Read more)

6. GOP megadonor scales back donations over SAVE America Act failure: Report – Just the News
A major Republican donor has scaled back his donations to the party this cycle, reportedly due to frustration with the GOP's inability to pass a landmark voter ID bill.
Tim Mellon, who gave $200 million in 2024, is reportedly frustrated with the Senate for not passing the SAVE America Act, a national voter ID and election integrity bill that has the support of President Donald Trump, according to the New York Times.
Compared to 2024, Mellon has only donated a pittance to Republican senators this cycle, handing over only $23 million, with $20 million going to House candidates instead.
The Senate has struggled to pass major legislation due in part to the 60-vote filibuster threshold that has prevented the majority party from steamrolling the opposition. (Read more)

Lord, we once again pray that You find a way to pass the Save America Act above the foolish stances of those in the Senate who oppose it. We ask for an opening, a pathway before it’s too late. We place our trust in You.

Live updates: Major nor'easter slams the Northeast as New York braces for worst flooding since Sandy
|
|
|
A powerful nor’easter continued to impact the East Coast Saturday, bringing strong winds, coastal flooding, beach erosion and power outages from North Carolina to New England.
The threat will linger overnight and into Sunday, as high-tide cycles continue to raise the risk of coastal flooding.
Flooding was reported in several coastal communities across numerous states, while roads closed and downed trees damaged vehicles in areas along the East Coast.
Thousands of customers remained without power across the Northeast, while air travel was also affected by strong winds, heavy rain and reduced operating capacity.
A 56-year-old man was killed by a falling tree in Brooklyn, according to the New York City Police Department.
On the Outer Banks in North Carolina, Hatteras Island was placed under a state of emergency after damage to N.C. Highway 12 cut off road access to the island.
The threat continues into the weekend.
Additional impacts are possible Sunday as an upper-level low will dig south of the nor’easter and pull the storm west toward the Jersey Shore.
Strong winds will continue across the New York City metropolitan area, Long Island, southern New England and parts of Vermont and New Hampshire.
