Some Words from Pastor Larry Peterson

In August of 2006, I began my fourteenth year of living and serving among the Lakota people here on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It has been a life-changing experience and one for which I am most gratefeul. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is being able, through our new Retreat Center, to share this unique place with so many others.
