Oyate Concern has been serving the community of Oglala, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation since 2003. During this time, our ministry has been located six miles outside of Oglala, requiring transportation for all programs and outreach. In 2020, we had the opportunity to purchase 20 acres of land in the center of town. In 2025-2027, we will be launching a horse-ranch ministry called Wówaš’ake Stable and constructing a ministry center and barn on this parcel. Once complete, we will move all of our programming to this site, where we can be accessible to the community in a permanent facility.

In our ministry center, Oyate Concern staff will continue to serve children and families in Oglala. This work will be facilitated through our teen ministry, children’s ministry, preschool classroom, and adult train and discipleship. These programs provide community support and Christian discipleship through meals, education, mentoring, Bible teaching, Christian spiritual formation, and leadership development.
