Rocky Mountain Mission Pictured above is the Prince of Wales Hotel at Waterton Lakes Canada, just a few miles north of America’s poorest Native American reservation. Waterton Lakes and Glacier National Park are so awesome, so beautiful. But those who call this home live in the face of the ugliness of poverty and abuse. Each year UCF takes teams to Montana to work directly with the Blackfeet Native Americans, the poorest native Americans.

No experience is necessary! You can even learn valuable home repair and life skills as you help provide relief and restoration to aging and weather-damaged homes. Daily winds on the reservation average 40 mph. Over a period of years, home can move off of their foundations. This is the least of their problems. Just remember, faith makes anything possible. The service you provide will be nothing compared to the impact you’ll make.
Cost We still don’t know for sure. We can say, however, that the trip will not cost more than $650. Energy and fuel prices affect the cost of this trip, so see the sidebar costs for the particular dates. Never let the cost of a mission trip deter you. If God wants you to go, we can find a way to pay for the trip!
Lodging and Food We stay on the reservation as guest of a local church. The churches (one in Browning and one in Heart Butte) have adequate showers, kitchen and sleeping areas. You will need to bring a sleeping bag. They do have beds. Some may want to bring air mattresses. Participants will be responsible for their meal costs on the days of travel (airport restaurants, etc.) but all other food expenses will be covered. The team will utilize the kitchen and make its own meals.
