Please Pray for Our Friends in Pine Ridge
From Pastor Kay
(facebook.com/PineRidgeRetreatCenter)
Greetings Friends, We have been getting a lot of calls about how to help the
people on Pine Ridge as they deal with all the flooding. We are planning on
helping families once they begin returning to their homes. Any assistance you
can give to help us put together a "Recovery Cleaning Kit" would be greatly
appreciated! Once I speak with our partners here on the reservation I will send
out more details. In the meantime, you can send donations to "Pine Ridge Retreat
Center" PO Box 862, Pine Ridge, SD 57770. Please designate FLOOD RELIEF in the
memo. Many thanks to all of you who have reached out these last few days, it is
an encouragement. And as always pray for the people of Pine Ridge.
