Christmas Thank you!
As
Christmas of 2009 approached, we were again overwhelmed by the
generosity of so many from across the United States! Because of that
generosity, we were able to distribute over 300 hand-stitched Christmas
stockings filled with toiletries, toys and
more
to children of the San Carlos Apache Reservation. In addition to this,
we were able to give more than 60 teens printed sack packs containing a
Bible,
and
Wal-Mart and McDonalds gift cards for them to purchase their own
“wishes”.
Over and above all of these donations, we were then able to distribute
600 hand-tied fleece blankets to those participating in our mobile
ministries, the tribal-run youth home, assisted living facility, social
services, and police for their Toys for Tots program.
Once again you have provided your own ‘ARMs around the Reservation’ in
“exceedingly abundant ways! Thank you!
Arizona Flooding
In October of 2009, a
group from Columbia Missouri helped create an access to our property
that we had hoped would endure until we can build our permanent bridge.
(Lord willing, permit to begin construction will be here by
mid-February!) Unfortunately, the access was washed away in recent
flooding. God orchestrated so that critical vehicles, etc. were
relocated to the “good” side of this water prior to the flooding, so
ministry continues unhindered. Thanks for praying for us as this
adventure continues!

The culverts were washed downstream - January 2010.

foot diameter 20 foot long culvert out of the sand.
(Picture #3) Cold and wet, but after
two days we finally did get it out. The more we dug the more water and
sand
came back into the hole. What a mess!
