Yá’át’ééh shik’is! (Hello my friend), my name is Donnie Begay. I currently live in Albuquerque with my wife and three girls. My wife Renee, grew up South of Gallup in Zuni, NM. We met in High School at Rehoboth Christian. Our girls Natalia, Kaya, and Peri are full of energy and keep us busy. I am Navajo and grew up on the Navajo reservation. I am born into my mother’s clan, Honágháahnii (One-Who-Walks-Around), and born into my father’s clan, Kinyaa’áanii (Towering House People).

I have been on staff with Cru for almost two decades. As I become more aware of my Navajo identity and try to understand the teachings of Jesus and the Bible I've come to a point where I simply want to have more conversations. These conversations are with many different people from different backgrounds to talk about theology, missiology, history (particularly from an Indigenous point of view), and how we can all be better human beings and relatives. How do we relate well with self, others, creation, and the Creator? I believe good teachings can come from anywhere and from any culture.
