God’s Answer
The work has already begun, the battle is already won, and our faith is in the Son….these two Navajo pastors have a thriving church just a few miles from the Navajo Christian Leadership Center and will be instrumental in our efforts in October!
 
Romans 10:13-15
{”13 for “Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved” 14 How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15¬† And how shall they preach unless they are sent?…”¬†}
If you read the preceding words and have been following God’s leading us into the Native American community, you’ll be interested and hopefully joy-filled at God’s blessing on our work together. About two years ago we (Stephen & I) made a trip out to Thoreau, NM to minister to a couple of missionaries who seemed to just want us to bring some preaching and worship music and give them a break from their strenuous routines. That’s when we first met Mark Morris from the Navajo Christian Leadership Center, known to us then as “The Bible Camp” where we found this man and his family diligently reaching out to the Navajo community through the children and youth on¬†a camp that had been vacant for years and in dire need of fixing up. TMTY knew then that God had called us to come alongside of Pastor Mark and lend a hand.
Since that time till today we have been praying for God’s hand on this mission and felt a strong desire to reach the rightful¬†leaders of these people, namely the men. After much work, support and prayers of all receiving this note today we have been able to assist in some of the repairs such as “The Barn Project” which is now finished and ready for year round use, replacing all the old (unuseable) bedding and taking new bunk-beds (very practicle!) and now the camp is still in need of some fixing but much more useable than when we started.
Here’s the exciting part! Pastor Mark Morris has been “called” and¬†given the opportunity to train 50 Navajo pastors (untrained) from the 4 corner states (Colorado, Utah, Arizona & New Mexico) and he has asked TMTY to participate in this awesome mission. The work we’ve done so far was in the spirit of reaching out to the children and God has answered our prayers to reach the leaders of the nation in an amazing way! We are now working on our logistics, budget and team, we need your prayers and tomorrow we will be giving more details and how you can again participate in this work for the Kingdom. Enough for now…
Keep praying!
