Storage Unit is no more!

After 1 1/2 years living back east away from the reservation, with our stuff stored, the storage unit is no more!  That "monster" has been slayed, and now we can finish with last minuet packing and be ready to leave KY to live in Dine Bikeyah on Monday or Tuesday of next week.  So excited!

8 days till departure...

Busy, busy, busy! Sorting, packing, donating, and praying.  In just 8 days we will be on the road returning to Dine Bikeyah.  After a year and a half on furlough, it is time to return to our beloved Navajo!  It is sad to say good-bye to friends and family here in Kentucky, but there is much work waiting for us among the Navajo.   We have a 2 bedroom duplex waiting for us, and only a bookshelf and dishes to furnish it with thus far.  But as always, where God guides, He provides...

We have a two day journey starting out on the 28th, when we will be spending the night in Oklahoma, then we shall push on to Farmington, NM on the 29th.    We sign on the duplex the 30th and spend our first night in it that day!  We officially move in on February 2nd.


God is so good, and He is the Lamp unto our feet and the Light to our path... no matter how little beyond the next step we see He always goes there ahead of us.

Ahe'hee'! (Thanks!): to all who have helped and are continuing to make our work among the Navajo happen!

Set Up at Immanuel Baptist Church of Corbin

Yesterday, we were blessed to be able to set up and share at our missions table about our mission among the Navajo.  Our home church Immanuel Baptist Church of Corbin, KY has been such a blessing in this journey back to the Navajo. We are honored to have them as our sending church!  We were blessed with two support pledges, and many more interested and 10 signed up to recessive the paper version of our newsletter!

21 days, that is what (housing approval pending) we may have left till we leave for Dine Bikeyah!  We are busy packing, sorting, and deciding what gets taken, what gets stored, and what is gone forever...  'Tis not an easy time but so worth the challenge.   As it is often said, "Where God guides, He provides.  Where He leads, He feeds."  That is sure being proven true, over and over for us!

Happy New Years!

Dear Friends and Family:

We, Rob and Michelle Nickles, missionaries currently attending Immanuel Baptist Church of Corbin, KY,will be returning as Youth/Student worker at churches on the rez in the Farmington, NM, area January 30th, 2014. Our vision is to see strong, Native Believers reaching their own people for Jesus Christ.

Our Purpose is Four Fold:

• Reaching Lost Native Youth
• Discipling and Mentoring New Believers
• Training Mature Believers in Ministry
• Sending Trained Believers out to Reach their own People.

North American Mission Board states that out of nearly 300,000 Navajo only 1-2% are Evangelical Christians.  We have made a long term commitments toward reaching the Navajo. One time gifts of any amount are always a blessing.  Most of all we are in need of your prayers.  Prayer is the fuel that will enable lost Native youth to open up their hearts to the Gospel of Jesus.  We are grateful for you partnering with us!

Because they haven’t heard,

Rob and Michelle Nickles

“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.  Go your way, behold, I am sending you forth as lambs among wolves.” Luke 10:2-3 (ESV)

New Year's Coming and Start-Up Funds Raised!

Ahe'hee'! As of today we have raised 100% of our start-up funds!  Any donations to start up fund beyond this is a blessing.  We are also still in need of 24 monthly supporters at 20 dollars a month!  Thanks everyone for getting us to this point!  Ahe'hee'!
