Welcome

Arizona Reservation Ministries exists to provide God's ARMs around the Reservation. Currently serving on the San Carlos Apache Reservation in ways only God could orchestrate, those "arms" are providing a hug for children, shooting basketballs with youth, building homes, distributing clothing and food to impoverished families and sharing God's hope through the Gospel with all ages. Established upon the principal found in Exodus 17 where God's people need the assistance of others, ARM has chosen the servant position of Aaron, holding up the needs of our Apache brothers and sisters as the Lord leads. Those who partner with us—financially, prayerfully, or physically, are likewise upholding those in God's family who live in tremendous poverty.

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!

Temporary access - before the flood - October 2009

(Picture #2)  Digging one of the 6 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!
