 WAGNER ASSEMBLY OF GOD WILL NOW BE
KNOWN AS:
"ALL TRIBES
FELLOWSHIP' - Assembly of God. In
a meeting today with our advisory committee they all voted
unanimously to change the name and concentrate the focus as
a Native American ministry. All people are welcome; but our
focus is Native American. This page will highlight all that
is happening at "All Tribes Fellowship" with updates, photos
and videos. We will be beginning a weekly Bible Study on the
Forty Days of Purpose with video, study guides and the books
thanks through the contribution of Saddle Back Church and
their generosity.
 WE
ARE SO THANKFUL TO YOUTH PASTORS CLIFF AND TAMMY VOSS
FROM PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA AND THEIR YOUTH GROUP, PASTOR AND
PASTOR'S FATHER IN LAW FOR COMING AND MINISTERING. THEY
ARRIVED THE WEEKEND AFTER WE EXPERIENCED MAJOR FLOODING
IN THE AREA. THESE FOLK BLESSED A.T.F. WITH MUCH NEEDED
SUMP PUMPS AND HELPED AT THE TRIBAL OFFICES IN MARTY.
GOD IS SO VERY FAITHFUL.
Ministry has a way of taking
us places we aren't sure why or where we are going; but
God always see us through the journey. At All Tribes
Fellowship we have the opportunity to reach our children
in youth in ways that God can only do. But to do this,
we MUST have a Children/Youth team or young man with the
love of the people (even when it's hard to love them)
and the ability to be a self starter and planner. They
must also have their full financial support or at least
1/2 of it so their primary focus is on the
Children/Youth ministry. It is so very difficult to work
full time and give full time to a ministry. I know this
because "I", Elaine, am working full time and helping
Tim as he is FULL TIME in the missions work here. I
accepted a job with our Assemblies of God District in
order to help with our budget. We give back about half
of our income into the ministry and helping others. God
blesses and we are so thankful. There are "so" many
needs on our Reservations financially and it is our
heart's cry that at some point we can be a resource
financially to them as well. PRAY THE LORD OF THE
HARVEST will send us someone for the work of the
ministry here with the Children.
June
7-12 We had the honor of having Harry & Mary Hartzler
bring a group of 37 to minister. Although the weather
didn't want to cooperate very much, we saw miraculous
things done. We had over 143 children & youth
participate in our VBS & Youth Outreach. On Thursday
night, we had the privilege of honoring the Hartzler's
with a beautiful hand made Star Quilt. They have
sacrificially come for 6 years to minister to the
children and youth. They have made some long lasting
friends among the youth here & will continue to be a
blessing. With all the rain, we were still able to get
the outside of the district owned house painted. God met
us in a great way & we rejoice over the lasting fruit!

We will complete the coffee
corner "The Gathering Grounds" tomorrow 2-14-2009
and have it usable Sunday Morning. Will have photos that
evening. We are growing and the community is becoming
more and more aware we are here for continued ministry.
We are all excited about our "Day in the Park" July
18th. Our ladies are now preparing for "Indian Taco"
night for the volunteers on Friday & cooking Hot Dogs &
Hamburgers Saturday. We have other church youth
interested in coming and ministering through drama and
music! It's going to be a great time! We thank KC
Kopaska for partnering with us to gather back packs with
school supplies to donate to the children. This will
help the Yankton Sioux Tribe financially again this
year.
 WOW
WHAT A CHRISTMAS OUTREACH SATURDAY DECEMBER 13,
2008. We had some 200-250 in attendance.
We thank the Milford Assembly of God for coming and
making all we did possible. We thank Sioux
Falls Adult Sunday School class, Jerry & Deanna
Nelson, Carol & June for coming and their financial
contribution. We have some 50 children/teens

ALL THE GLORY!
We
want to THANK everyone who contributed to the
EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND to help the people of Wanblee,
SD after the devastating snow storm of November.
With the funds a generator, many socks,
clothing, supplies, diapers & cash to help deliver
supplies to outlying areas were gotten. As the District
Native American Resource contact person, we would
like to have an "Emergency Relief Fund" with cash on
hand for such emergencies. IF you would like
to donate, send all funds to SDAG, PO Box 91750,
Sioux Falls, SD 57106 and mark "Emergency Fund!
IF you would like to send articles of clothing or
supplies such as snow boots, blankets, coats
anything that would help in case of emergencies
directly to ANY of the Native Missions here in SD,
go to the South Dakota Native American Ministires
page for addresses, email addresses and WebPages.
Thanks again for all you have done!
 Harry Hartzler & Trent.
Trent is one of 3 local Native American youth who
