Report
on Native American Relationship Building
Billie went to Pine Lake Camp weekend before last to lead a
retreat for Native Americans. Nine attended. Went well. Bible study comparing
Israelites and Native Americans. Discussed being a bridge between the
conference and the Native American populations.What can we do to be supportive? Want to be supportive but don’t know how. First, need to listen.
