Partners and Friends,

Greetings in Jesus’ name! A team has just returned from the Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The Rosebud Reservation is one of nine in the state, with about 15,000 Sioux Indians living there, many below the poverty line. Our team partnered with a local outreach center in Mission, SD, to carry out both construction projects and evening evangelistic outreaches.

Sioux Mission Results

• Roof repair: Installed a new framed and metal roof for a family whose home had been leaking for years.
• Electrical work: Ran electricity in a home that had been partly without power since move-in.
• Roof tar work: Patched leaks on another family’s home.

Each family was deeply grateful, as they had been waiting for help from the reservation government. During our time there, the Sun Dance was taking place, a reminder of the deep cultural traditions still embraced by the Sioux. Please continue to pray for the approximately 200 people who received Christ during this outreach.

Upcoming Appalachian Trip

We have two options available for the upcoming Appalachian trip in October:

• Week-long trip: October 1–6, cost $1,000.
• Weekend trip: Friday evening–Sunday afternoon, cost $350.

Both trips will be a blessing to the people served and those who attend. Contact the ministry for details.

Financial Needs

Please pray for new and increased partnerships. We recently lost half the support of one of our largest donors. Without additional help, we will have to put 18 evangelists on part-time status. Sponsorship is vital to continue advancing the gospel.

Love and blessings,
