Saved People Serve People--Serving Lakota People


This year Grace Church is sending a team to the Lakota reservation in Pine Ridge, SD. We are partnering with the Oyate Concern ministries to serve the people in Pine Ridge, SD.  

Lapman and Ching Ching Lun will lead the team of nine traveling by van from Wooster, Ohio to Pine Ridge, SD.  The team includes the Lun family: Jonathan, Jeremy, and Abby along with Roger and Jenifer Miller and David Fairhurst and Sarah Miller. 

Together they will travel two days to arrive in Pine Ridge. On Sunday, they will begin preparing for the Sunday Night services where the team will share God's love with children, teens, and adults.  

Each day they will work on service projects to help Oyate Concern with their Christian school and church ministries.  The team will work in pairs to complete some projects for the ministry.  

On Monday evening, the team focuses on teens. Students will gather to play basketball and hang out. Then a message from our team will challenge them to give their life to Christ or to remain strong in the Lord.  

On Tuesday evening, the team will direct their encouragement to the lay leaders in the Oyate Concern ministries.  Everyone will share pizza, testimonies, and prayer time for the challenges facing the Lakota believers.  

On Wednesday, the team will finish up projects and clean up for the start of their journey home.  The team will visit the Black Hills, Custer State Park, and Mount Rushmore on their return trip. 

Please pray for the team:  
  • travel safety
  • good health
  • deeper connections with missionaries and Lakota people
  • catalyzing of new friendships, and 
  • having a servant's heart
