Our History
Motto: Serving others to serve the Lord!
In all things I have shown
you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the
words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than
to receive." Acts 20:35
July 7th-15th 2007
This was our fourth year on the reservation and our favorite
mission trip so far! We stayed in the great new Teen center volunteer quarters
and helped with their midnight basketball. We were able to volunteer in many
different aspects, using all the gifts of the team. We were given permission
to conduct a VBS and had good attendance and participation. We also volunteered
with the kids, helped with the luau, did lots of garden work, painted,
constructed a playhouse, cleaned, canned, and organized CRYP's warehouse. We
had enough established relationships and respect that we could talk about the
Lord!"
During the remainder of the year through the help of our Board we work to
educate our Church and Community about the needs of the Lakota on the
reservation. We seek support financially through grants and matching funds
that can help the Cheyenne River Youth Project and the mission team operate
and volunteer each year. The Board also looks for ways to help equip the
Lakota people by looking for opportunities that will build a future that
sustains their culture and enhances their life.
Jesus Christ is the great lead in this mission organization. Much support
comes from the prayers of many wonderful people and congregations. Their
encouragement is both greatly appreciated and a blessing.
For 2008, we hope to work more with the teen center and continue to build
on the VBS program, and other new ministry opportunities as they arise.
