We will be partnering with our missionaries, Jason and Sarah Lucas, to minister to the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone families located on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. Our primary role will be assisting with Kids Club during the week with worship, teaching, crafts, games, and activities throughout the week. We may also have opportunities to serve with their youth group and at the food pantry.

WHY WIND RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION?

Wind River Indian Reservation is the 7th largest Indian reservation in the United States, and less than 3% of the Native Americans living there believe in Jesus. It is a desolate land with many challenges: 75% of Native homes are affected by alcoholism; suicide is 2.5 times higher than the national rate; 95% of women and girls and 70% of boys have experienced sexual abuse; 85% of the natives are unemployed; and 50% of youth drop out of school. The Native Americans have often been called the forsaken and forgotten people. Yet God has not forgotten them.
