Patricia Fleeger
Patricia is a member of the Navajo Nation and has faithfully served with Native American Youth Ministries (NAYM) since 2008, initially as a volunteer and board member. In 2020, she was called to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer, where she continues to lead with wisdom, compassion, and a heart for Indigenous communities.
Patricia has always felt a deep connection to her people and has long prayed that God would lead her back to serve among them. That prayer has become a reality through her leadership at NAYM and her unwavering dedication to seeing lives transformed through Christ.
With over 40 years of experience in education, Patricia began her career as a teacher and later moved into administrative leadership roles in both public and private school systems across Arizona and California. Her extensive background in education has equipped her with the skills to mentor, organize, and inspire others in ministry and beyond.
Patricia and her husband, Harold, have been married since 1983. Throughout their marriage, they have been united in their calling to ministry. Following God’s direction, they now reside in White Water, New Mexico, where they are establishing the newest NAYM property. Their journey is a testimony to God’s provision and faithfulness.
Patricia holds Hebrews 13:20–21 close to her heart: “Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” She continues to walk in faith, eager to see how God will use NAYM to reach, equip, and empower the next generation.
