Sharing Culture & History

Sunday morning students and staff were able to spend time with Pastor Greg. They had a chance to hear the heart and culture of the reservation. This was great time for questions and answers and getting to our host even greater.

Our group spent the morning pulling weeds, raking leaves, and mowing grass at the church and the home of Betty-Kay, who is a counselor at a school here on the reservation. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve, your prayers are appreciated.

This morning, our group got a storage building ready for roofing shingles to be put in it to keep the dirt out. We took off some old felt, and covered it with new felt. Tomorrow we will put the shingles on it.

While the guys worked on the storage building, the girls got to spend time with some kids who lived near by and some new puppies.
Ms.Cathy!

One of the groups is hard at work this week painting Ms.Cathy's house! It started out blue but by the end of the week it will be a really pretty tan color that Ms.Cathy picked out!
Food Distribution

Beautiful Creation

We ended our night by going back to the canyon to watch the sun set, sing worship, have a devotional, and look at the stars. We had a great time taking in all that God created!
All Together

After our devotional, we had a time of group prayer. We got to all be together loving and encouraging each other.
