Hello Friends! We had a great weekend. Nick presented at our home congregation (Fishinger & Kenny Roads Church of Christ) about our future work in Kayenta. Lots of people at church had heard about our plans but didn't know many of the details. The elders allowed us the opportunity to present on Sunday morning during Bible class (combining all adult classes).
Nick gave a great presentation explaining the current situation in Kayenta and the hands on work we will be embarking on this summer. Nick is a great speaker and I am so proud of him when he speaks in front of the church.
Let me back up a couple months. In the middle of March, Nick made a trip to Albuquerque, NM to meet with the Northeast Church of Christ about being our sponsoring church. He made a presentation and delivered a sermon to the congregation there. He had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with the people and was very encouraged by every one's excitement about the work on the reservation. Northeast agreed to be our sponsoring church. If you are not familiar with mission work, this means that all of our funding will go through the Northeast church and they will dispense our "paycheck." In addition, several individuals made donations to help us get our feet off the ground. The generosity and love that people expressed gave us a great start to our fundraising.
In April, we made a trip to the Ohio Valley to the 6th & Washington Church of Christ. Nick met with the elders and gave a presentation and sermon at their Sunday evening service. They have agreed to generously support us monthly and we received a lot of uplifting words of encouragement in our short time with them.
We have three other congregations we are making plans to visit and present. In June, we are visiting the Watterson Trail Church of Christ in Loiusville, KY. In July, we'll have a meeting and prepare a presentation for the Hendersonville Church of Christ in TN. Please continue to spread the word about our work and keep us in your prayers, because we have a long way to go in raising support.
