Veldhuis October 2018 Prayer Update <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Prayer Partners,<\/p>\n

            Long-awaited daytime temperatures below 100 degrees arrived late September heralding the onset of Fall and a possible reprieve from summer\u2019s heat, wind, and work. The first rain in months, however, was not to be outdone by sandstorms with its\u2019 own destructive winds and recurrent power outages.<\/p>\n

            Bus and van door closing or radiator problems while filled with Cocopah and without monitors miles from church brought additional difficulties that so perfectly depict the challenge of reaching three distinct age groups of Natives simultaneously without Jacob and Lydia\u2019s help.<\/p>\n

            We are as grateful for God\u2019s prospering their initial months\u2019 deputation as we are for winter visitors Michael and Rebecca\u2019s godly winning influence on all age groups and the Hastrichs\u2019 enormous help with special meetings and weekly cleaning.<\/p>\n

            Without each contribution even the best intentions could not have overcome the hindrances to writing you of unending Reservation needs, Bible studies, clubs, visitation, medical emergencies, church services, and vehicle and property maintenance.<\/p>\n

            BLESS the Lord and your prayers for getting our teen campers over 320 miles of up to 6,000 foot mountains before completely breaking down a block from a Flagstaff repair shop thirty minutes from Bill Rice\u2019s West Branch Camp. The breakthrough in getting parts and major repairs so far from a large city was rewarded beyond measure in the profession of faith of long delinquent Cesar and the assurance\/surrender decisions by 13-17 year olds Loren and Ayana. Teenagers Cylas and Tyler were also far more spiritually attentive following Cesar\u2019s brother Kaden\u2019s camp suspension for drug possession.<\/p>\n

            P.T.L. for the packed, godly wedding of Alex and Roxanna in our building, July 27th<\/sup>! They are as faithful to church as possible raising their baby, Miracle, and their foster nieces and nephew, Lilah, Lilly, and Tyler on very limited resources. PRAY for their employment needs and spiritual battles on the reservation as well as their influence on their oldest nephew Tyrus, and his criminal choices.<\/p>\n

            Nineteen year old Chris, on the other hand, was the greatest light into his closed traditional family until moving to an out of state school and job. His family and the Alvanez, Brown, Phillips, Soto, and Thomas clans are among the unsaved or undiscipled from summer ministries. PRAY for true conversions and surrender to God through our own October 25-27 revival with Native pastors. We postponed our July baptisms to locate all summer candidates and include revival decisions with them.<\/p>\n

            Summer\u2019s churchyard light installations totaled four times the cost of materials, but prepared us perfectly for Fall\u2019s early nights and increased attendance. We can\u2019t thank you enough for your prayers and special provisions for revival and Christmas ministries as well as for your past part in the following blessings and opportunities.          <\/p>\n
