Dear Friends in Christ, The annual Navajo Family Bible Camp held in Flagstaff each year, was canceled but replaced with a “teleconference” this week. The theme was “…things which must shortly come to pass…”. The first 3 nights were in English with Sam teaching and the last 3 nights are in the Navajo language, taught […]
June 2020Dear Friends in Christ, Once again this letter will be short. We are still staying close to home-but not in isolation or quarantine. Our county has allowed “non-essential” businesses to open back up but requiring masks when in public for all over the age of 2. However, we have 21 Indian reservations in Arizona […]
April 2020Dear Friends in Christ, Are you Trembling or Trusting? Panic and fear are contagious but as Christians we can trust our Heavenly Father. Nothing takes Him by surprise. He has a plan for each of us, He is able to carry it out and He has a purpose for good (Rom. 8:28). In […]
March 2020Dear Friends in Christ, Is. 26:3-4 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Also, in Philippians we are told to not be full of care for anything but […]
Feb 2020Dear Friends in Christ, Some of you have asked how the modular system is working out with the Dine Bible Institute where Sam teaches. It appears to be working out well. Because so many lessons are scheduled for one day, it is important that no class days are missed. One of the students […]
Dear Friends in Christ, Lam. 3:22-23 “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” For 365 days of 2019, God has been faithful! Since He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, we can expect His mercies and […]
Dear Friends in Christ, We have just returned from 3 weeks away from home. We left for our annual family get-together for Thanksgiving with our family. The table was set for 26 with 4 generations present, (2 were just over 2 months old). We stayed a week longer so we could be there for the […]
Dear Friends in Christ, As we mentioned last month, our schedule is quite busy through November. Each week-end, we are traveling to various reservations (Hopi, Navajo & Yavapai-Apache) for meetings and then we will be traveling back to spend Thanksgiving with our family and also a wedding of our grand-daughter, Emily. Our letters for the […]
Sept. 2019Dear Friends in Christ, Our calendar is really full for the week-ends from now until well into November. We will be on the Hopi Reservation, as well as the Navajo Reservation and the Yavapai-Apache Reservation. A missionary on the Hopi reservation will be traveling on the west coast and has asked us to fill […]
August 2019Dear Friends in Christ, This month has been a very dry month for our area. Though we are considered “high mountain desert”, we usually have a monsoon season at this time bringing us much needed water. The lack of water has caused several wild fires throughout the state. One of them was just north […]
June 2019Dear Friends in Christ, This past May, Janet was invited to speak to the Ladies’ banquet at the Yavapai-Apache church in Camp Verde where 2 of our missionary families are working. There were about 20 ladies present and the topic was how to live a holy life and pleasing God. It was a good […]
April 2019Dear Friends in Christ, We had a wonderful day yesterday on the Navajo Reservation. Sam was the moderator for the ordination of 3 men from the Tuba City Baptist church; George Adson, Clifford Hyden and Alfred Hyden. These 3 men have been leaders in the church for years and were a real blessing to […]
