Why We Do It

For over a decade we have been watching youth groups come to our reservation on their drive-by mission trips. They have come, not primarily as learners, but as teachers. They have come teaching Vacation Bible School’s, Kids Clubs and Sunday Schools. They have come to teach us before they ever earned a place among us to be heard. They have come wrapped up in that old missiological paradigm that hasn’t worked among our people for the last 500 years!

We at SLAM TRIPS want to offer your group a different missiological paradigm to wrap themselves up in. We invite you to our reservation as learners and listeners. To show the love of Yeshua to our people by what you do, not by what you say. To listen to our stories and our theologies. To receive and to give. To let healing happen from historical trauma. To be immersed in our culture and participate in the way that we worship. And then to see the power of Creator at work through all of it, and in all of us.

Join us in an opportunity to immerse your students in a cross-cultural setting without ever having to leave the country. Partner with S.L.A.M. trips to teach your students to develop an attitude of mutuality and not superiority with another culture. It is our hope that your students will walk away from our reservation having gone beyond their comfort zone to develop a servant’s heart and an appreciation for a new culture and new friends.

Give us a try. You won’t be disappointed!
