June 14 - June 18, 2026
This team will have the opportunity to partner with the Staff at Oglala Re*creation and worship center. The staff here help serve the Lakota people in the Oglala community on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Although the trip will be here in our "Judea" rather than in some faraway part of the earth, this experience will be very comparable to an overseas trip and will show the need for cross-cultural evangelism, compassion, and partnership in our communities. This team will assist with the ministries that the Re*creation and worship center are a part of this could include: kid's recreation and ministry, jail ministry, prayer, construction, or maintenance work. Max team size is 20.

WHY SHORT-TERM TEAMS?: Team are designed to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of our missionary partners and the communities in which they serve. We believe that command of Christ to go into all the world has not changed but we are certainly aware and respect the many challenges that exist nationally and globally. We will absolutely do our best to take all the necessary precautions and work with our missionary hosts to adjust to the local guidelines but where there are needs and requests from our missionary partners and hosts, we want to provide an opportunity for those who are willing and able to go and help meet the needs.
