ABOUT THE ALL TRIBES FELLOWSHIP TEAM (Pictured Above)
John Meyers has joined our ATF Team in helping with revamping the living quarters at Hope House and also teaching the Christian Twelve Step with our Life Recovery Bibles Light For The Lost so generously purchased for us. We've known John since our Cocoa First Florida days (at least 25 years now). Thanks South Dakota LFTL Director Tim Cushman for helping us with the Bibles. Roxanne Spotted Eagle helps us with sharing the Word when we have to be away. Pastor Randy not only assist Pastor Rebecca with Kidz Church; but teaches Wednesday night Bible Study and Thursday night discipleship classes at Hope House. He also has been revamping the parsonage getting all the safety features in place for Nathan. The district has helped us get the Egress Window installed and now Pastor Randy is working to get closets built in the two downstairs bedrooms for "future" children they want to adopt. Pastor Rebecca heads up the ATKidz Ministry as well as a full time teacher at Wagner Community School and full time wife and mom and minister. She juggles all these callings very, very well. The Kidz at AFT absolutely adore her and Pastor Randy. Janell Ruda has been the churches Treasurer now for quite a while. She helps us keep the finances in order and for that we are so very Thankful For Her and her ministry.

Face Book has become less and less of a ministry information page for us, thus we keep in contact with pretty much family and a few friends. Like many, we find it can become very time consuming so, if you have missed our post, it is because we lost a number of contacts and since that has happened we have cut back considerably on our personal page. We do have an ALL TRIBES FELLOWSHIP PAGE and we would love for you to follow it on Face Book if you are interested. We send out a "regular" email and if that would be something you might be interested in receiving, please email us and let us know.

All Tribes Kidz Ministry and CHRISTMAS
Ben's Ben has been a full CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. The doctors still aren't sure why his heart is acting like it is. We know God knows all about it.
God has performed a major miracle for us. After two years we finally have the "Cream of the Crop" in Children Pastors in Native Ministry. Randy and Rebecca Jensen are MOVED IN. Rebecca couldn't wait to get started just one week moved in. She is such a power-house in Children's Ministry. Randy is getting his feet planted with discipleship programs for the Hope House and prayer meetings. The folk at ATF have already fallen deeply in love with them and they are FAMILY.

Who We Are: Tim & Elaine Harris Just celebrated 44 years of marriage June 21st
The following is just a little about who we are and how we arrived where we are today.
We went to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in July of 1995 after resigning our pastorate in Cocoa, FL where we had served as Lead Pastors for ten years. Leaving our daughter, grand daughter, son, and a host of church family and friends was one of the most difficult things we have ever had to do to follow the calling of God. After Elaine spent months asking God, "Why are you doing this to me?", God replied back to her with, "I'm not doing this TO you, I'm doing this for the people I've chosen you to serve now!" What a statement!
Coming to Oglala, we knew no one and had no idea how to begin a ministry on the Rez. Tim would drive down Hwy 18 on a daily basis, praying and reaching out to those the Lord put in his path. On his way he would also pass by a particularly large, empty parcel of land in Oglala. This piece of land was just across the street from the main housing area.
In November 1997 the Holy Spirit moved Tim's heart to search out the owner of the property. After meeting with Levi Wounded's cousin, Barbara Dull Knife, they located the owner in Rushville, NE and were able to purchase 7 of the 73 acres which now sits between the two major housing areas in Oglala. We had a vision of something more than "just another church" in the neighborhood; our vision was of a building and ministry that would benefit and reach out to the whole community every day.
Finally the vision took shape and the building process began. Missionary and friend Mel Ericson was of great help in gathering work teams from all over the nation to do volunteer labor. By that time, a small church family had already been born and they spent many hours getting the rough land ready for building. MANY gave materials and time in order to see the vision become reality. In August 1997 the construction of an 8,000 sq foot facility was on the way. The dream was to build a gymnasium with a kitchen area, fellowship hall, bathrooms with showers, classroom space, and a 1,000 sq foot apartment; a multifunctional facility. The building was completed in March 1998 and is known today as the Oglala Re*Creation & Worship Center, or simply "The Rec". It serves the Lakota Oyate in whatever way needed. The main purpose being "A Light in the Darkness", the Rec team wants to shine God's Love into the community.
It is has been sixteen years now of full time Native Ministry. Not everything has been rose lined paths, but it has all been productive and positive. God has faithfully directed us with our missions statement "to provide opportunities for positive change" as this is what we have always yearned and prayed to see. Through the positive change, lives are turned around and people are meeting Jesus their "Heart Mender" in a real and powerful way!
After seeing God build the Oglala Re*Creation & Worship Center in Oglala, SD we received letters of "Commendation" from South Dakota's Attorney Generals' Office, US Senator Tim Johnson, Former US Attorney General Janet Reno and the US Department of Justice, AND the Lakota Sioux Tribal Council for our work with the Youth and Victims Advocates. In March of 1999 the construction of the Rec Center in Oglala was completed and the ministry work started expand. Since that time much has happened in Oglala (see their website). In 2001 we turned the leadership over to Pastors Eric Sutton and Leon Schwartz. During the past ten years, the ministry in Oglala has grown and flourished under their positive and healthy leadership. Since that time, a new gym has been built and is completely paid for. Just this summer, God miraculously brought in $30,000 for a new metal roof for the original gym building. They also got part of that old building remodeled into a beautiful new sanctuary. To God be all the Glory!
