Dr. Keith Bailey, principal of the school, invited Dad to come to Mokahum, saying, “Herman, come just the way you are.” Over the next few years, Dad learned to read by studying the Bible one verse at a time. He went on to become a pastor and for a while served as the director of Mokahum. Now in his 80s, he is still serving the Lord at a church in Phoenix, Arizona, and has influenced countless lives for Christ.

Recently the Christian and Missionary Alliance gave the Mokahum property—closed since the 1970s—to Oak Hills Center for Indian Ministries. The renamed Mokahum Ministry Center is once again a residential Bible training facility. One thing that hasn’t changed is that we are committed to training tomorrow’s Native ministry leaders today.

At Mokahum you will receive a high-quality biblical education, relevant ministry training, and life-changing character formation. You will learn from Native ministry leaders and other veteran believers, develop your gifts in a local church, and build lifelong friendships.

I invite you to consider being a student in our first class. Come just the way you are, and see what the Lord does in your life.
