This stunning depiction of Creator (God) helps us to re-imagine faith in Jesus, or Creator Sets Free. Our Native-influenced Gospel Allegory is both majestic and convicting. We stumble through the brokenness of our world’s “deserts” and we soar with hope from Living Water.
Experience the journey for yourself, and get ready to bring this Good News to campus.

Ilove the use of allegory because it makes the Good News tangible. “Sin” is a hard concept to grasp, but drinking sand is visceral.
The Evangelism team centered Native ministers to offer our unique experience as Native Followers of Jesus. We are honored to offer this gift to the larger Christian community.
The goal of my life is to labor until I see the day when Native communities find it laughable that Jesus was once dismissed as “the white man’s god.” May Creator use this film to move us toward that big dream, and toward serving every Tribal College across the country.
Support Native Staff and Students
Native Students have the opportunity to attend a life-changing conference created specifically for them. Would Jesus Eat Frybread (WJEF) is a weekend for Native Students to gather and experience what it means to be both Christian and Native.
You have two opportunities to support the Native Staff and Students who brought you this beautiful allegory:
- Send students to WJEF. If you use the Refresh Proxe on campus, the Evangelism department will donate a $50 scholarship on behalf of your chapter. Just tag us (@loveandcourage.iv) in a picture of you hosting the Refresh proxe on your campus.
