On Wednesday, February 28th we visited the Celilo Indian Village. It is located a short distance East of  The Dalles here in Oregon.

We were not sure just what to expect there. Our objective was primarily fact finding, to see how we might be of help to the villagers. But we also brought a small load of groceries. The very first person we ran into told us that three households had combined their resources, just the night before, in order to be able to prepare a  meal. So the food was a welcome blessing.

An Oregonian reporter, Eric Mortenson, was there covering the construction project that will provide fourteen new homes  and other facilities. Eric graciously helped unload and sort the groceries.

Not surprisingly, Don knew a number of family members of the Indians with whom we spoke; Some as far away as the Blackfoot Reservation in Browning Montana.

We will be visiting them again in the probably not too distant future. Please pray for us that we might be of genuine assistance to these folks, and that the life of Christ might be seen in our efforts and our lives.

Thanks;

The Team
