We are privileged to assist Camp Crossway, a faith-based summer camp for kids and youth. We will be running a four-day, overnight Bible camp for 30-40 local, Native teens in 7th-12th grades. What an amazing opportunity! The facilities are outstanding: good bunk beds, great food, plenty of showers, and lots of fun things to do and great recreational activities. They even have a zip line! What a blast! Mission teams often struggle to get next to Native teens on reservation missions. Here, your team will eat, sleep, play, and live with them for four days,...

Invest in the lives of the Nespelem People! God is moving mightily in Nespelem—join Him and build up the Body. The core of this mission is small team, relational investment in specific families. Your team will divide into smaller units and match up for the week with local families, including the two young missionary families now living in Nespelem. The point—get to know the family well. Spend a lot of time with them. Help out in practical ways. Have a lot of fun with them. Help with the kids or give parents time to go do something together, just enjoy life out while your...

Many Native American tribes struggle with alcoholism, depression and a high youth suicide rate.  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...

Assist a Navajo Bible camp that’s bursting at the seams. A few years ago, the Navajo BIC Mission’s summer Bible Camp grew far beyond what the base staff could manage. Its continued existence is a testimony to the grace of God, staff perseverance, and the dedication and hard work of summer mission teams. The bar has been raised the last five summers by Adventures teams who poured their hearts for Jesus into the local adults, teens, and kids. They served five-star lunches and gave of themselves completely to bless and encourage everyone attending the Bible Camp.  The BIC...

Create a four-day kids’ Bible camp in the heart of the reservation. Ministry: For the June 10 mission: As many as 40 kids and teens a day will join your team at our partner church for 2-3 hours, Mon-Thu afternoons.

You’ll canvass nearby housing neighborhoods to invite the kids, learn where they live, and meet their parents, brothers, and sisters. A couple of evenings will be dedicated to follow up with...
