Upcoming Events
Unfortunately, we did not have any sponsors for a Native American Youth Camp this year BUT, we have 4 churches already planning/hoping to do one in 2025! Help us pray these materialize!
Fall Happenings
Ben & Lana come through for us again! Once a year, Pack the Trailer Mission/Miniseries made the trip from AL to bring over 5,000 pounds of food, toilet paper, personal hygiene products and warm winter clothing- a good portion of it new.
Ben and Lana help to get us through the winter months with our monthly food deliveries. It takes between $700-$900 to fill and delivery those loads to 53 families.
What this does is take a heavy financial burden of expenses in paying our monthly power bills, which run $900-&1,800+++ from November to March.We are so appreciative of their hearts, efforts and sacrifices to gather everything and make the yearly trip out to MT.
They were also just here in July with a church group working at Four Winds! Thank you Ben & Lana -our longtime friends and partners!

The first week of September found us hosting a group of veterans and their wives from Victory Fellowship, Waynesville MO.
What an honor and privilege for us to have all of them here at Four Winds. Following are some photos of their work projects. The ladies were up and at it by 7:00 in the morning painting fences all day! The cook for the week, Tonya, kept everyone well fed and happy! A huge thanks to partner and longtime friend, Bro Alan Schlie who coordinated and headed up this great crew! Thank you all!

The men replaced 6 of our walk bridges that needed attention. They built several new benches, too. Three were taken up to the cross! A nice added blessing for everyone who treks up to it!
Humanitarian Deliveries
September Crow Delivery
In September we celebrated our 7th year of our food delivery to the Crow Community in Pryor MT.They surprised us with cake that we shared with those coming to get their food boxes. Another great honor- once again they had a Blanket Ceremony for us. It is
such a humbling experience to have them “wrap” you in a blanket. It is very special and rewarding fir both the giver and the recipient.
It makes our 7th Blanket Wrap in almost 50 years. There are no words to express our deep gratitude to the people who have made our lives do enriched over the years!
Report:

Thank you all who support this aspect of our ministry. Again, this would not and could not happen without our partners and donors.
God bless you all!

Summer Happenings
On August 26th we were blessed to have a semitruck delivery from Clearville Community Church in PA. There were 3 large pallets of school supplies, Food Bank items and warm winter clothing. What a blessing and what needs will be filled because of your hearts for giving and your generosity! Thank you Clearville Community congregation!
A Deep Loss
It is with much grief and sadness that we say farewell to our most precious friend and long time partner - Pastor, Chaplain and Brother, Steve Wallace.
Brother Steve had been involved in our ministry to the Native American people since 2000. He First helped to construct a Church of God at Lodge Grass, MT on the Crow Reservation. He became “hooked” and had been on board ever since! He was a true “connector,” bringing work groups and sponsors of Youth Camps to Four Winds all these years.
He was just here in July. He went home, wasn’t feeling well, and then he went home to be with his Lord on August 14th. None of us were prepared for that! Anyone who had the privilege to know him, work with him, laugh and pray with him - we all now have a huge hole in our hearts and lives! Thank you Steve - your touch is all over Four Winds. You will be greatly missed, but we have that Great Reunion Day to look forward to!
