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...

Connect youth with Jesus through relationships and event-based outreaches.         Each summer, our partner church invests heavily in two major and very successful events: a Camp Meeting/Revival in June and a Youth Conference in July.

Along with some of the local teens and several members of the congregation, the church’s Apache youth leader is ready to work with your group help to make these events even more effective. You can exchange ideas about training, activities, teachings, and...

Exchange ideas with Apache teens looking for the truth. Support Apache church leaders as they plan their annual youth conference.

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...

  Help this Camp Develop American Indian Leaders. You’d be hard pressed to find a Christian camp with a greater reach than this one. The young Navajo, Zuni, Apache, and Pueblo leaders trained during the summer camps are already making a difference among their people. Hundreds of kids enjoy this camp every summer. But the large facility demands a huge amount of maintenance and repairs, and the staff needs help to keep things running smoothly.  That’s where your team comes in. Spring mission teams like yours make it possible to keep a huge ministry like this one...
