The opportunity

As you enter the Badlands, gently rolling plains invite you into life at the Rosebud Lakota Indian Reservation. As part of the greater Sioux nation, this culturally vibrant reservation is one of the three poorest places in United States, with an unemployment rate of 85 percent. The Rosebud Episcopal Mission is committed to coming alongside and caring for Lakota people, respecting their culture while ministering to them in the name of the Lord. Demonstrate the love of Christ as you and your team swing hammers for Habitat for Humanity. If you’re passionate about kids, help instill a sense of care and value in children by leading VBS or day camp. However you choose to serve, you will get to know the culture of the Lakota people and experience what life on the reservation is all about.

Key Scripture: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect." —Romans 12:2
