Our Photos THANKS FOR VISITING!

New FACE LIFT FOR THE SANCTUARY!

.

 

We were so blessed by the Cedar Valley Assembly of God Missions group that came & participated in the DAY IN THE PARK. They also stayed over & conducted our Children's Church on Sunday morning, then on Monday & Tuesday conducted a Basket Ball Camp, Painted, repaired a roof, built a wall, finished work projects. They so blessed us! We appreciate you Missions Director Jeff Lefavre & your TEAM! Enjoy the slide show of their trip!

Months ago we began to rethink the way we meet together here at A.T.F. We have been to several Native meetings & they all seem to like to sit in a circle where you can see each other. We wanted to get away from the ''traditional church setting''. Our folks really like the new set up.

New ''furniture'' arrangement. We are going more "Native Custom" of the ''Talking Circle". Has proven to be a great concept for us.

Such a lovely young lady. God called to missions. He Mom is a part of our church family. Vallynn

 

Beginning June 7-12 we were so blessed to have Mary & Harry Hartzler & their group of 37. They ministered & painted & played basket ball & games & you name it all week long, day & night. The weather sure gave us a fit, cold and rainy! But that didn't slow anyone down. We had more than 143 kids & youth participate. On Thursday night @ 3 on 3 basket ball in South housing we honored Harry & Mary with a beautiful hand made start quilt. Harry & Mary have given of themselves the past 6 years & they have made lasting connections with many of the youth here. We are so blessed to have them as part of our ministry here. We look forward to them coming again in November for a great YOUTH week end outreach. Enjoy the photos!

Thanks to KC Kopaska, we were able to deliver a trailer and truck load of food and supplies to Pastors Randy & Rebecca Jensen at Faith Family AG in Lower Brule. CJ Echols who was here to share at our first annual Native American Ministries Summit was with us and helped us unload the supplies. Here are a few photos of the delivery:

What a weekend we had with the Trinity Bible College Native American Outreach Team Friday, Saturday & Sunday March 27-29, 2009. Saturday night there were some 75 + youth & Sunday morning Hollie Fox & helpers had over 40 children ages 5-9.  We are believing the Lord to provide the ministry here with a fulltime Youth Leader. We have the facilities and the equipment to minister to the Native Youth here on a daily basis once we have a full time youth leader. Thank you for praying with us about this need.
