God
has opened a new area of ministry as only He can!
February of 2007, a godly Apache gentleman approached
us about the need for a home for a woman and her children. A Christian
friend had allowed them to live on their property. That woman was given
a tiny, ancient trailer to live in. There wasn’t room for her children
and grand daughter. They were forced to live under tarps and makeshift
homes as well during the cold (30-40 degree) winter nights.
During February, meetings also
resumed between ARM staff and the Tribal Housing Authority. They
presented a much clearer need for housing on this Reservation. The need
is at crisis proportions! Many families are living in
structures as pictured or abandoned cars. With the Tribe’s blessing, we
are near completion on a home for this family!
To meet the URGENT need of many other families, a
simple 12’ x 28’ structure is being designed, complete with a
common room and small kitchenette, a restroom (if there is access to
appropriate facilities), and one bedroom. Plans are also underway to
create a second structure to add later with additional rooms.
The walls for these homes could be built at your
church and then transported to us! Plans will be available soon for each
wall section as well as an approximate cost breakdown. As this first
home reaches completion, final costs and more may be communicated to
those interested in assisting in such a practical way.
How do we share the Good news of Jesus Christ? Those
working on these homes are earning the right to be heard. Moments occur
where prompting by the Holy Spirit encourages those that have fallen
away to again restore fellowship with Christian Apache churches. Others
may have the opportunity for evangelism. As always, the spiritual needs
of those from the San Carlos Apache Nation is of utmost importance!
