We believe the Gospel is good news for all nations and the deepest salve for humanity’s greatest needs. We also believe in the Gospel’s call on our lives to do good in this world. No greater is this need seen than in the Lakota youth population in Pine Ridge, SD.

The youth population of Pine Ridge, SD are some of the most at-risk in the entire country, with a suicide incidence rate 150% of the national average and 200 reported suicides since 2014. Youth outcomes on the Reservation have remained unchanged for 30+ years.

There are many contributing reasons, but one that is key is a lack of support for locally-led youth programs. Today, many youth outreach activities are conducted by outside organizations that create a transactional relationship with the youth that can set back local efforts. Those that are local and faithful require greater support and financial resources to accomplish their dreams for their ministries.

We seek to equip local ministries with the resources ttey need to build their relational ministries, and provide the love and constancy all youth need to thrive.

We partner with like-minded local organizations that place an emphasis on meeting the full needs of the Lakota youth (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual).
