Ceidric Platero, a member of the Navajo Nation, joyfully serves as a campus staff minister to students at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He seeks to teach college students, especially Native college students, the boldness that comes with inheriting Creator’s Great Spirit through faith in Jesus – replacing negative generational narratives with exciting expectancy for God’s dead-to-life work on campuses and in home communities.
