Hello Friends,
We need your help! The Lutheran/Lakota Job Corps has expanded and is vital to
the ministry of the Pine Ridge Retreat Center. Employing them has allowed the
ministry to thrive! They are an integral part of everything from Kids' Time to
sandwich making, upkeep of the Center, as well as service projects in the
community. If you are wondering how you can help the Lakota People, the Job
Corps is a great opportunity. You can send your donations to the Pine Ridge
Retreat Center at PO Box 862, Pine Ridge, SD 57770, please designate "Job Corps"
in the memo. We are blessed to have you as partners in this very important
ministry!
Please check their Facebook page
