Since this is a good 2 hour trip, we will go up on Sat. nights and return home Mon. mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThe Hopi Reservation in located on 3 large mesas and is surrounded by the Navajo Reservation. &nbsp;As they have increased in population, the Hopi people have asked the federal government to increase their land size which is now occupied by the Navajo. &nbsp;The Navajo are reluctant to give up land that their families have lived on for generations. &nbsp;This has created some conflict that has been going on for years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThe Hopi are not eager to have strangers among them so this ministry is a real challenge. &nbsp;We have worked with Hope people before, but this is our first time to actually minister on their reservation. &nbsp;Please pray for the missionary couple (Andrew &amp; Nancy Magnarella) as they travel and as they try to reach this community with the Gospel message. &nbsp;Pray for us also as travel back and forth and fill in for these pastors on the 3 Reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThis past week, Janet was visiting a friend in an Assisted living Home when another resident rolled her wheelchair up and joined them. &nbsp;She was able to talk to her about salvation and the woman replied that she had never heard of it before and would have to think about it. &nbsp;A tract was left so please pray that Jeannie will read the verses and realize her need for Christ as Savior. &nbsp;It also gave an opportunity to encourage the friend and remind her that God has a reason for putting her in this home and possibly it is to witness to the others that she is now living with. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThank you for praying for Helen. &nbsp;She has been able to visit with the elderly with Janet. &nbsp;It is a challenge for her to maneuver but Janet is grateful for her help with the visits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tAlso, this week-end, the Dine Bible Institute will be starting their fall semester. &nbsp;They are going to try a new schedule using modular classes rather than weekly classes on Sunday evenings. &nbsp;The first modular class will be this Saturday for 6 hrs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThank you to each of you for your prayers and gifts that make our ministry here possible.\t<br><br><br>\t\t\tII Cor. 2:11 \u201cYe also helping together by prayer for us.\u201d<br>In Christ,<br>Sam &amp; Janet Grammer &nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"cid:B2642B4A-0600-4744-894B-6B642864A2D7@gha.chartermi.net\" alt=\"Pulpit-3rd Mesa.JPG\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"cid:02F5F0E7-F26A-4758-A6E9-4C0B57B9E586@gha.chartermi.net\" alt=\"Kid's Church.JPG\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sept. 2019Dear Friends in Christ, Our calendar is really full for the week-ends from now until well into November. &nbsp;&nbsp;We will be on the Hopi Reservation, as well as the Navajo Reservation and the Yavapai-Apache Reservation.&nbsp; A missionary on the Hopi reservation will be traveling on the west coast and has asked us to fill [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"hide_page_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,26,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-59","category-grammers","category-missionary-letters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1837"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1838,"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1837\/revisions\/1838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ibimi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
