ONAC KM Delegates return home from Mission
It is with a tearful eye that the Pacific Northwest ONAC church leaders said good bye to youth delegate Tyler 'T-Chill" Chillson and elder counsel delegate Kevin "Catches The Hawk" Locke as they set out on their journey back home to Minnesota to prepare the foundation for their gift of an oklevueha Native American church independent branch... In addition of coarse to the titling of onac km delegates blessed with the additional honor of insipid lodge officiants.
Happily for them though the trip flowed smoothly and they returned just in time to kick off powwow season with their tribes. Both deem their mission from east to west as being overall successful as well as justifiably enlightening and both already talk of plans for another mission out west possibly before the end of this year.
Chillson and his family are currently talking with representatives from the Discovery Channel who wish they become involved with a few upcoming native based projects and possibly covering the establishment of he and Locke's gift of an Independant Branch and the right to establish sanctuary grounds for their church, as well as other church endeavors that are also in the consideration phases. Onac looks forward to the feather in the cap these duo will prove to make as Oklevueha expands to the Minnesota lands of North America and look forward to all the good medicine that will get to the people as they do it.
