Mission Statement

As the Hands and Feet of God, 13 members of Northwood Church have partnered with Serve Ventures to serve the Lakota people of Pine Ridge South Dakota and build homes for them.

It is our prayer that God will be glorified in us, and that people will be drawn to God because of our witness.

"Devote yourselves to prayer, stay alert in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the message, to speak the mystery of the Messiah- for which I am prison-so that I may reveal it as I am required to speak. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person."
- Colossians 4:2-6

Yesterday's Travels

Sorry for the delayed post, but here is a summary of yesterday's adventures.


Early in the morning, we gathered in front of the Northwood House, joining up with Cyndi for one last prayer before piling into the vehicles.

Over the course of ten hours, we made our way through Minnesota into South Dakota. During breaks, we popcorned around the vehicles, giving us a chance to get to know each other better.

Just before lunch, we visited the Dignity statue in Chamberlain, South Dakota. Along with a fun photoshoot, we visited the rest stop's Lewis and Clark museum.

Near the end of the day, we entered Pine Ridge Reservation. After settling into our rooms, we shared an evening meal, then gathered to study our Bibles and preparing our hearts for the week ahead.

We look forward to sharing our journey with you.


"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kindom come,
your will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil." - Matthew 6:9-13
