PASS CREEK CHURCH, ALLEN, SOUTH DAKOTA
The Pass Creek Church in Allen, South Dakota is doing great work for the Kingdom within the Pine Ridge Reservation. Tim and Kim Wardell are missionaries leading the ministry with the Lakota people, making a huge impact for folks who are experiencing extreme spiritual and physical poverty. To understand more of what is happening at Pass Creek, check out their blog at http://passcreekmission.blogspot.com/
In May, we will be taking a group of people to South Dakota to help with home improvement projects for some people on the reservation who are part of the Pass Creek Church Family. The projects will involve general home repair, so experience working with tools is needed. The exact work projects are yet to be determined, so we will determine at a later date what tools we will need to take. If you are interested in joining this team, please fill out the application below.
We will also be taking our own cooking staff. If you would be interested in joining the mission team by working in the kitchen, preparing daily meals, we invite you also to fill out the application below.
Thanks for your interest!
