Native American Outreach 2003 - Update
We are glad to report that our mission trip to the New Mexico Navajo Indian Reservation was a wonderful success. The trip itself was much smoother this year. Our teens and adult workers did a magnificent job with Bible School, cooking, and the many work projects. We put a plywood roof on an outdoor amphitheatre, shingled grandmother Lillie’s home, put in a culvert under the road coming in to the mission, repaired the plumbing in the toilets in the fellowship hall both men’s and ladies’, and repaired the water feed pipes in the kitchen in the house where Yvonne stays (she’s a mission worker that works at several missions on the Navajo reservation), and we tripled the size of Jerry Domingo’s dwelling with an addition. Framed the walls, put windows doors, rafter, plywooded the roof and put texture 1-11 on all the walls plus sheet-rocked the inside of several rooms. We even rebuilt all the outside picnic tables and benches with hew lumber. We averaged 115 students a day at Bible School and Corporeal Proudfoot’s D.A.R.E. class was a huge hit among the Indian children. As a Church you can be very proud of the representation made by all who made this effort such a glowing success. Thank you to all who gave, helped raise funds, prayed, dropped and picked up at airports, donated items, helped plan, and sacrificed time energy, effort, and talents to labor for the Lord. Only eternity will determine what was accomplished for the Lord with “Catch the Dream!”
