Native American Ministries

Kc Kopaska takes you through the flames of his tragic accident, his survival, his rocky recovery and finally to the secrets he discovered that helped him overcome all the curve balls life threw his way. Kc’s scars speak hope to the scars in all of us.

“My scars are on the outside,” Kc says.”But most people’s scars are on the inside. I hold out hope for those scars.”

“…There is wisdom in suffering, the kind of wisdom that clarifies the lenses of our rose-colored glasses and allows us to more accurately see the world as it is…Today, I am thankful for my scars, not ashamed of them. They have become my source of strength.” ~ Kc Kopaska, from the Epilogue of Afterburn: the Kc Kopaska story
