Guatemala Mission Trips
Each year, interested individuals are invited to apply to join the mission team heading to Zacapa, Guatemala. Good Shepherd partners with Hearts in Motion (H.I.M.), an organization on the ground in Guatemala, that works to empower its volunteers to change the lives of people in poverty. Our focus is serving villages in and around Zacapa, including Pueblo Modelo, by building relationships through church and community development, while sharing the love of Christ. Specific projects will be determined based on make up and interests of the team, combined with needs identified by H.I.M. Team meetings will begin in March and are an integral part of our team building and mission trip experience.

Pine Ridge Reservation
Every summer a passionate group from Good Shepherd caravans to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota to work on various projects to help the lives of the Lakota people. Through our partnership with the relief organization Re-Member we “skirt” trailers to improve heating and cooling, stain and sand wood, and make outhouses and bunk beds.  Our volunteers have an incredible opportunity to learn about the history and culture of the Lakota people. Through tours and presentations by Oglala Lakota people, an understanding and appreciation for life on the reservation is gained. Good Shepherd joins committed volunteers from throughout the United States during this life-changing week of service. We sleep dorm-style in bunk beds and dine together to share stories and experiences. Eligibility: Anyone age 12 or over is eligible. Volunteers under the age 18 need to be accompanied by an adult.

Want to support the Oglala Lakota people but aren't able to travel with us? Here are other ways to be a part of this work...

  • Attend the annual July "Baseball for Bunk Beds" event.
  • Donate during Gifts From the Heart at Christmas time. Look for the decorated dream catchers!
  • Watch for special collection opportunities prior to our scheduled trips.

Information on upcoming events will be posted here as available.
