[2-7-13]Note from Steve Shultz: I just found out today that my friend Richard Twiss suffered a major heart attack yesterday while in Washington DC. Please keep him and his family in prayer at this time as he is in ICU on support systems and the next few days are critical for him. Please read the following and let's pray fervently for this mighty warrior in the Church, Richard Twiss -Steve Shultz, Founder and Publisher of The Elijah List and Breaking Christian News

Richard Twiss, Native American Leader in the Church and founder of Wiconi International, suffered a massive heart attack yesterday while in Washington DC. He was scheduled to attend a series of meetings around the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC.

Richard had emergency surgery to clear a blood clot in a main heart artery and is currently on support systems for his heart and lungs. The next 48-72 hours are critical. According to his ministry's Facebook page, Wiconi International: "He is in the ICU after a long night of intense surgery and being closely watched by a team of medical staff all night. It is still too soon to say anything solid for sure, due to this being a very delicate time frame. All we know for sure is that God is in control. Keep Praying. More updates to come."

Dr. Richard Twiss is President of Wiconi International, located in Vancouver, WA, and is committed to "Creating opportunities for the betterment of our Native People and Communities through advancing education, culture, family and spirituality - in the Spirit of Jesus." He is a widely traveled and popular speaker, activist, educator, author and networker among innovative thinkers within the Native North American and Indigenous community internationally. Born in 1954, Richard holds a doctorate in inter-cultural studies (cultural anthropology, primal and folk religions and the history of Christian mission) from Asbury Theological Seminary.
