Big Springs was founded by Swedish settlers in the Dakota territories in 1869. For over 150 years we have been sharing the transformative love of Jesus in Southeastern South Dakota, throughout this region, and around the world.
The Austins had fruitful careers in education and were raising a family in Minnesota when they sensed God calling them in a new direction. In 2019 they packed up for West Africa, using their gifts for teaching among the people of Senegal. After more than a decade in Dakar, Senegal, Tim and Mary Sue now work in Northern Africa.
Big Springsers love children, and they giving them gifts. We've sent out around 200 gift boxes each year to children around the world, and we're beginning to send teams to help with OCC distribution. This is an expanding ministry that has captured our imaginations.
A local ministry committed to those who have suffered loss of a child, and especially the loss of a child, grandchild, or sibling.
