Sunrise Ministries was founded by Emmanuel Community Church in Bassett, Nebraska. They coordinate teams from Nebraska, Iowa, and other states to meet physical needs on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations in South Dakota throughout the year. The teams have cut wood, built churches, built playgrounds, and remodeled homes. At Christmastime they give gift bags to all the children and teachers in the communities they work with. In the spring and fall the teams hold huge free clothing give aways. When the teams are in the communities they hold vacation Bible schools and build relationships with the people.
