 | | The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Southwest, South Dakota home to nearly 40,000 Oglala Lakota Sioux was chosen because of the desperate needs we saw when making an investigative trip there in February of 1998. |
 | | After having visited Pine Ridge, seeing the bone crushing poverty, sensing their despair, and learning about Lakota history, how the early, well-meaning missionaries proselytized these gentle people, we realized that a mission trip to Pine Ridge had to be custom made. |
 | | Please pray for this ongoing ministry, that we may be able to bring to the Lakota people a ray of hope, planting seeds of faith, as we, with joy, seek to serve this most forgotten people with Christ's unconditional love. |
