Raise a Barn Sunday
Many Small Gifts Coming Together to Make a Big Impact
November 13, 2016
In the past communities would come together to pool their resources and help someone in need by building a barn in one day. Raise a Barn Sundays are opportunities for the community of the Pacific Northwest Conference to come together on a single day to make a big difference in the world.
PacNWC churches are encouraged to promote Raise a Barn Sunday by mentioning the opportunity during their worship services. Please show the video below, distribute the envelopes provided and send all donations to Raise a Barn, 9311 SE 36th Street, Suite 108, Mercer Island, WA 98040.

Benefiting the Ministry of Mending Wings
Vision for Mending Wings:
- Facilitate trips for youth groups and college-age groups to come to our reservation to learn about Native people, our lives and worldviews, and to deconstruct missiological paradigms that have historically been destructive to Native people.
- Facilitate the passing of Yakama culture through elders to youth—teaching and encouraging language, bead-work, drumming, traditional Yakama songs, tule mat making, basket making, root digging, gathering, hunting and fishing.
- To provide high school graduates with college opportunities through scholarships and leadership development.
- To hold weekly youth group meetings, providing a safe, healthy environment where spirituality is taught and social issues for Native youth are discussed.
- To empower Native youth culturally, economically, spiritually and socially through various programs that speak to each of these areas.
- To provide leadership development through a Youth Council and training.
