About CHIEF
CHIEF (Christian Hope Indian Eskimo Fellowship) is a ministry to the 51.1 million Native Americans in the 1,200 tribes of the Western Hemisphere. The mandate for CHIEF is: 1) to encourage, strengthen and help build up the Body of Christ by providing discipleship training in a manner uniquely suited for their culture and the ongoing needs of the indigenous church, 2) to help in the evangelism ministry of the local native church in all the tribes of the Americas and other related tribal groups throughout the world, and 3) to bring hope by demonstrating our compassion for their felt-needs and providing practical assistance, not in a vacuum, but in the context of God's love.
