The Ronan, MT chapter has the unique distinction of being the first Reasonable Faith chapter located on reservation land, namely the Flathead Indian Reservation. With this unique location comes several challenges for Christian ministry: high rates of drug and alcohol abuse and suicide, competing proselytization from Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, rising New Age and postmodernist influence, and, surprisingly, Buddhism (the reservation is home to the Garden of 1000 Buddhas, a Buddhist sanctuary and popular tourist attraction). For the past several years, chapter director and bona fide mountain man Nace Howell has made it his mission to bring healing and hope to this troubled area through evangelism and apologetics. Through the contributions of Reasonable Faith donors, this remote chapter, and more than 200 others like it around the world, continue to have a significant and lasting impact for the sake of Christ. We thank you all and hope you will join us in supporting these front-line men and women through prayer, words of encouragement, and donation.
Thank you and God bless!
