STRAVA CHALLENGE
Our initial plan was to host a Cultural Experience during July 2020, however due to COVID-19 restrictions, plans were put on hold. That didn't stop Ichtus staff and students! They have challenged us to walk, run, hike, bike, etc. the distance between Pierre, SD and Brussels, Belgium - a distance over 4,470 miles. Please join us in this challenge as we compete against Ichtus to exercise to Belgium.

February 2020
Jeremy Hamilton, Caleb Leppert, and Elijah Hamilton traveled to Belgium to participate in launching our formal twinning relationship with Ichtus and to recruit for South Dakota 20, a summer opportunity for discipleship and cross cultural engagement (which unfortunately had to be canceled due to the pandemic).

We currently have a monthly joint prayer meeting and look forward to future partnering events in both countries. |
