Kelly Looking Horse, one of the Lakota locals we met in South Dakota, challenged us to take the cause of the Lakota back to our homes and communities. So far, I'd say we've got a solid start:
Yesterday we sent about ten boxes of backpacks and school supplies to the Cangleska Battered Women's Shelter in Pine Ridge, hopefully just in time for school.
On Wednesday, Alex Marshall, Matt Nussbaum, Matt Mackowsky, Mia Spinelli and I gave a slide show and spoke at the Haddonfield Rotary Club Luncheon. I was told afterwards that the club is considering making a financial gift to support the Lakota. Praise God!
Finally, we got our five minutes of fame in last Thursday's Haddon Herald. Check out the pics below, and see me for the text of the article if you're interested. They gave us a whole page!

Next up - Mission trip people should mark your calendars for Saturday evening, September 22nd! Our group will show slides and talk about the trip at a special dessert event for the congregation. The Nussbaums are hosting a dinner reunion for the group beforehand that you won't want to miss! Hope to see you all there.
