Experience successful cross-cultural ministry with Apache teens. The Fort Apache Reservation can be a daunting place. But for many years, an established youth ministry has helped illuminate the darkness there. God has used youth workers and their unconditional love for Apache teens to soften hearts at the Fort Apache Reservation. This has allowed our partners to share the hope and purpose they have in Jesus. Why take your team to the White Mountain Apaches? Here’s what our partner says:  “A mission team can give us the man-power to accomplish community evangelism and...

Learn love’s power in the ethnic diversity of the body of Christ.

You’ll spend time in the parks in recreational...

Build pow-wow camps, friendships, and faith among the Dakota. In May, you could help our ministry partners kick off the summer with a week of fun and fellowship for reservation youth. You could join the church’s youth to fan out across the reservation, inviting teens, distributing flyers, and meeting the people the Father puts in your path. After that, it’s all about sharing good times and talking about your struggles and victories in Jesus. In July, your team could deliver an extra reach into the tribe for our partner church. The construction of tents and tipis on the pow-wow...

Join us at Dusty Pines Work Camp! Dusty Pines Camp, out in the forest between Gallup and the Zuni Nation, provides a safe and loving haven for a group of local, Native youth who have chosen to follow Jesus. This place of safety is beloved by the youth in spite of the verbal, and sometimes physical, persecution they know awaits them from family and former friends for deciding to attend. With the help of Christian teachers and mentors, and supporting each other in the family of Jesus, they are able to persevere and grow in their faith. One day, they will be leaders in their community. Your...

Create a four-day kids’ Bible camp in the heart of the reservation. As many as 40 kids a day will join your team at our partner church for 2-3 hours every afternoon, Monday through Thursday.

You’ll benefit as kids are drawn to board presentations by Kurt Schafli, an incredibly talented partner whose Wind River ministry connections go back 25 years (see picture). You’ll canvass nearby housing...
