Wounded Knee, SD—A new family life center was dedicated on Sunday, August 24, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The new facility, located on the Church of God grounds, will provide a gathering place for ministry, community events, and other services for the Wounded Knee community.

“Nothing new has been built in the community for the last several years,” said Stanley Hollow Horn, pastor of the Wounded Knee Church of God. “Our center is something new that can help meet the needs of our people while reaching them for Christ.”

I had a conversation the other day with a Maori woman who attends the local university where Dan Blanton and I are doing chaplaincy work. Not long after we met, she said, “I wonder if you’d pray for me. I’m trying to stop doing drugs.” In further conversation, it became evident that the drugs were interfering with her studies, her family, and especially her relationship with God. She said, “I’m just too ashamed. I want to fix things, but I don’t think God will accept me.”

The International Youth Convention (IYC) of the Church of God impacted lives for Christ, July 14-17 in San Antonio. Inspirational conferences, service projects around the city, and times of worship were all purposefully designed to create moments for life-change. And lives were changed.

“IYC is all about life change and helping people making decisions that will affect their lives for eternity,” said Andy Stephenson, the convention’s lead organizer. “It is a place where people can hear from God.”

Rev. Bob Moss believes in planting the seeds for tomorrow’s harvest. The needed seeds came from the sale of real estate. And the Church of God Foundation helped him plant the seeds.

“When Indiana Ministries recently sold our office property, we looked for ways to invest the funds that would enable us to have new ministry options for the future,” said Moss, executive state minister for Indiana Ministries of the Church of God. “We placed a significant portion of the proceeds in an endowment with the Church of God Foundation.”
