Native American Ministry Resources

(SBC affiliated*)

Chanku Waste Ranch – Started as a summer long day camp in the heart of the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota, the most impoverished Reservation in the country. The Chanku Waste Ranch now operates several ministries, including a eye and dental clinic. My understanding is that they are the only non-urban Send Relief Center in the country. www.chankuwaste.com

FONAC – Fellowship of Native American Churches – A Southern Baptist fellowship of Native American churches focusing on strengthening Native churches and raising up indigenous leaders. www.fonac.org

Windswept Academy – A non-denominational school in the heart of the Cheyenne River Reservation of South Dakota. This school is truly attempting the long-term approach to Christian discipleship in a very challenging environment. *The school functions apart from any direct connection to the SBC, but the founders are Southern Baptist and the school maintains a relationship with a local SBC church in Eagle Butte where they are located. www.windsweptacademy.org
