Colville Nation
Nespelem & Omak, Washington

 
 
Colville is one of the largest reservations in the U.S. today and originally extended to the Canadian border. Mountain ranges, deserts, and rolling hills make up this vast land on which the Colville people live. In June teams will serve in the community of Nespelem (in the south part of the reservation) and in July, the community of Omak (in the northwest part of the reservation). Activities include mercy ministry ranging from yard clean-up to painting homes and tribal buildings, building woodsheds, and renovating homes. In addition, VBS programs are held at the community centers in Nespelem and Omak, and music ministry and craft programs are held at senior meal centers, a convalescent center, and the prison facilities in Nespelem and Okanogan.
