About Tribal Rescue Ministries

Craig and LaDonna Smith are the founders of the evangelistic organization Tribal Rescue Ministries. They are Christian ministers from the Ojibwe and Navajo tribes. In their over 45 years of ministering together, their ministry focus has always been the proclamation of God’s Word while seeking to live God honoring lives.

Craig Smith is licensed as a Christian and Missionary Alliance National Evangelist and serves as president of Tribal Rescue Ministries. LaDonna joins Craig in their music and teaching ministries, and in their equipping of many next-generation spiritual rescuers.

TRM's Mission Mandate:
Reaching the lost in our tribes and helping everyday believers become everyday spiritual rescuers in their tribes.

This mission explains clearly their passion to be light in a dark world, and help equip others to be a light in the places God has sovereignly placed them in.

Tribal Rescue Ministries Statement of Faith

Tribal Rescue Ministries, Inc.

Statement of Faith

There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.
The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.
The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.
Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God; he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.
It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.
Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age.
The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the Gospel, and observance of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's supper.
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.
The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible, and premillennial. This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.

The Smith's Story

For over four decades, Craig and LaDonna Smith have been bringing the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ to people across North America and around the world. Their lives were changed when they were involved in a near fatal auto accident in northern New Mexico.

LaDonna broke her C-1 & 2 neck vertebrae. The fact that she is walking and suffers minor side effects can only be attributed to the grace and power of God.

Craig suffered injuries that took him through death’s door. After being resuscitated and airlifted to a major trauma center, he clung to life in a coma for nearly two months. Over 40 surgical procedures later, Craig continues to amaze the doctors, surgeons, and therapists in his amazing and arduous road to recovery. Though primarily confined to a wheelchair, Craig continues to share the hope that they have found through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Author Craig Stephen Smith describes this miraculous journey in the book Miracle at Mile Marker 313. Get your copy at the TRM Store.
