Blackfeet Mission
Each summer our church sends a team to work for two weeks with the Blackfeet United Methodist Parish on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana. Native Americans on reservations are somewhat of a forgotten population in the US. Many live in extreme poverty in government housing that has not been adequately maintained for years. Alcoholism, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, and high school drop-out rates are prevalent at rates much higher than the national average in other ethnic groups. Our team travels to Browning, Montana, each summer.   If you are led to be a part of this mission, please consider joining us next year!
