Today is Friday and the construction project is mostly done. The cement truck arived late, but the boys were ready. They quickly spread the five yards of cement and made a beautiful floor for the entry of the church. Today the project is to drywall the sound room walls. VBS for the last two days has been so fun. It was amazing listening to Pastor Arnold talk about the influence VBS had on him when he was only eight. The seeds were planted for him and that developed into a ministry to his own people. The lessons have been all about TRUTH. A reminder to me and the team for the need to know,live and speak the truth. When asking the Navajo kids some questions about God, I realized that there is a whole generation who need to hear the truth. Kids are kids no matter where you find them; Uganda, Arizona or Shonto. They all need to hear that Jesus loves them and that He is the Truth. Please pray for the team and the kids that are participating.
Andrea has said this is the highest number for two days in a row. I am humbled by the surroundings here and the spirit of my brothers and sisters in Shonto. It is an amazing experience to become acquainted with people that I will see again when I am in the presence of the Lord. The Church is filled with many people of different cultures and different languages, but in Glory we will all be saying the same thing, "Hallelujah to the Lord." Please know that every dollar you have spent and every item that you have donated is going to good use. The kids love the crafts and all of the leftovers from SHOUT. Thank you again for everything you have done to make this trip possible.
