Wild West Roadtrip

Hi Friends,
I bring greetings from Pine Ridge South Dakota!
As some of you know, last summer we recieved an incredible donation of $50,000 from a family in our church, to be used to support the Lakota people. After much prayer and discussion, we decided to give the money to the Red Cloud Indian School, a school on Pine Ridge with an incredible track record of student success. Last week, Matt Mackowsky, Matt Nussbaum and I travelled out there to meet with leaders at the school and discuss the gift. The visit was incredible, and the drive from Denver wasn't bad, either. Here are some pics (wish you all could have come!!!)

Our red Cadillac- so much more than just a rental car!

So cool to be able to give such a significant gift - thank you church and thank you youth group for making it happen, and thank you God, from whom all blessings flow!!!
