This area of ministry came to us this year through our own Director of Evangelism, Stephen Curtis and it has been nothing short of exciting and highly educational.

These people have been kicked around by government, and haters for generations and quite understandably don’t trust us. They live with much fear and trepidation on reservations out west and quite frankly they have just been overlooked and forgotten. Working within the culture we have met some absolutely wonderful missionaries and believers in their community that gives us a little common ground to work from.

In these photos from our first visit we met Roy Hawthorne, Navajo, U.S. Marine/ American Hero, World War II Code Talker, Medal of Honor recipient, who currently helps pastor Tsesiani Church (Navajo for Solid Rock) in Houck, AZ. And hosts a Gospel radio show on a secular station that broadcasts every week in Navajo. His son Regan Hawthorne is the pastor of Tsesiani and they are in the process of opening a Christian School for the Navajo children in a fashion that the families can afford it. Through the marketing of Code Talker Coffee and related products (Delicious by the way) and contributions they hope to open in 2009.

TMTY is investigating other sources of financing for them through grants etc. but anyone with a heart for this mission is welcome to contribute. Contact information will be provided by link soon. You will also see Crosslands Bible Camp here and our friend and missionary Mark Morris in Thoreau, NM. Mark and his beautiful family live at the camp and are endeavoring to make this a year round facility for the community children and youth to come and be nurtured, taught and loved for who they are. The Barn project will be an indoor facilty/ game room / classroom etc. We are attempting to find financing and construction help for this one! Let us know how you can help.

We are ALL God’s children and He tells us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Meet your neighbors out west!
