Dear Friends in Christ,
Slowly, the state of Arizona is beginning to relax on their restrictions and things are starting to “open up” once again. However, the Indian Reservations are moving slower as they seem to have been hit a bit harder during these difficult times. We personally do know individuals that have lost family members to this virus. Many of the younger adults go to the larger cities to shop and do business and bring it back home to family members that have lower immunities. Many of the Reservation leaders are setting up strict restrictions for people traveling to and from their reservations to try to protect their people.
Though our “scheduled” ministry opportunities are not what they were, we are still able to have contact on the internet and by phone. We have had some call checking that we are doing well and sharing their own personal struggles during this time. We try to encourage them as well as pray with them for their specific problems.
We are still praying that the plans for going to Alaska in August will still come about and our volunteer workers will still be able to travel. Pray with us for the travel plans, the safety as they build and for much to be accomplished so the station may be up and operating more quickly.
We realize that many are struggling financially at this time and we are thankful that God is meeting our needs. Thank you to those of you who have been faithfully supporting us financially and prayerfully. Your giving allows us to have the internet and phone service that keeps us available to continue to serve. You are appreciated and important to our ministry.
II Cor. 2:11 “Ye also helping together by prayer for us.”
In Christ,
Sam & Janet Grammer
