Loved

Back to 20th Anniversary Page
The tagline of Diamond Willow Ministries is from Galatians 5:13, "Serving one another in love". 

We desire that no matter when or for how long you came to be a part of Diamond Willow Ministries, you were able to feel loved. Because truly, you are. We are all loved, generously and sacrificially, by Jesus Christ. 

It feels impossible to capture 20 years of love and memories into a photo album, but below you will see some glimpses of just that. Thank you for how you are a part of our tiospaye (extended family). 

We invite you to comment down below, how many years ago were you at Diamond Willow? What did you do while you were here? If you don't live locally, where do you live? We'd love to hear from you!

Cantemawaste Camps

Back To 20th Anniversary Page
In 2013, Diamond Willow Ministries started a summer program called "Cantemawaste Youth Camp". Camp was always a time for many youth to enjoy time with kids their age, camp staff, and make memories while learning more about Jesus. Many memories were made at Cantemawaste Youth Camp: at the river, during family groups, winning "Camp Bucks", or dancing to fun music. 

Do you have memories of Cantemawaste Youth Camps? What was your favorite part of coming out as a camper or camp staff? We'd love to hear from you; comment below!

Animals of Diamond Willow

Back to 20th Anniversary Page
For many years, the animals around Diamond Willow Ministries were a comforting, fun, and memorable aspect to coming out to church or Bible Study.
Do you remember Fluffy, Eeyore, orer, Jake, or the amazing Curly Horses (like Mato, Curly Bear, Dancer, Star, Tate, & Red Cloud)?

Staff Through the Years

Back to 20th Anniversary Page
As you likely know, God has used so many people over the years that were on staff at Diamond Willow Ministries and the Tokata Youth Center. Truly "Ikce Oyate" (common people).

The Bunkhouse

Back to 20th Anniversary Page

Oh, if walls could talk! This bunkhouse has held many many sleeping work groups and campers. A long-standing tradition over the years has been to sign the boards/ walls after your stay.
​Do you see your signature? What memories do you have of your nights here?

Aerial Photos

Back to 20th Anniversary Page

What a blessing drones are when it comes to getting pictures! Here are some shots from 2020, that show the DWM property at that time. For some, it is hard to believe that 20 years ago, this was all just an empty field. What incredible plans God had in store. Do you recognize any of these buildings and changes? What questions do you have or memories would YOU like to share?
