In our last eNewsletter, we shared how we felt led to move the ministry to Eastern Arizona to live among, and minister to, the Apache and Navajo Indians.  What we didn't share was the fact that we had absolutely no financial resources for such a move, only the strong leading that we were to proceed in faith, trusting that God would provide.  We were amazed and humbled to see how God provided through faithful people who gave sacrificially each step of the way to make this move a reality!  God provided a home for us on a 27-acre horse ranch in beautiful Pinedale, Arizona, and the monthly expenses will be substantially less than the rent we paid for our California home! 

Update: Yesterday was the launch of our very first Apache Kids outreach at the community center in Cibecue!  We had a team of 56 wonderful servants from New Covenant Church in Austin, Texas join us in kicking off this new and exciting ministry opportunity.  Here's a link to a photo album and check out this very special moment from the event in this short video.

Our goal is to open the center twice each week initially as resources become available. As we shared in our last email, giving has been down over 70% for well over a year now, and even with the extremely limited funds, God has continued to show himself strong in what we've been able to accomplish.  The need continues to be great and even more so now with the opening of our children's home, and the opening of our Apache Kids ministry center.  We trust in God completely for our resources, but we also believe in sharing the need because we know that God uses faithful people to meet those needs. This continues to be a huge step of faith for us on every level, but we are confident that as we follow His leading, He will provide the resources, strength and wisdom as they are required.
 

In Him,
