God's Timing!

God is so good, and He knows the perfect timing for everything.  After nearly a month of waiting, a Loving Offering came in, just in time to cover the cost for printer ink and gas for our upcoming trip to Knoxville to share with churches.  Just when we really needed!  Ahe'hee', Corinth Baptist Church!

Immanuel Baptist of Lexington

Went to Immanuel Baptist Church of Lexington, KY yesterday, a 175 mile round trip.  This is the largest church we have visited. It was good to speak with the Missions Pastor, Jeff Story, about our calling among the Navajo.  Whether we will be sponsored missionaries in their newly developed missions program remains to be seen, but it was both humbling and an honor to share with them.

God never stops amazing us as to when, where and how He will provide for us. After a dry spell of little new pledges, we just received a $250 lump pledge to be sent in very shortly.  This mean we now have pledged a little over 2%.  What does this mean?  We now have 1 Week of  support raised!  God is so good!  Thank you to everyone who has pledged, and we pray that God blesses you in these days and months to come!

Immanuel Baptist and Wacky Wednesday

We had a good talk with our Pastor Allen, from our home church Immanuel Baptist Church, with alot of good ideas for ministry and work.  Our Love Offerings are helping big time with Gas and Travel Expenses.  Thank you to everyone who has given thus far!


This evening we also shared with the children of Immanuel Baptist, thanks to the invite of Jenni Lou Jackson.  It was awesome to hear them so interested in the Navajo, and to have them sit so still when Rob shared his story.  Some of them did look a bit quizzical and started giggling when he slipped into a rez accent while telling it.  After running some relays, the children went out to play water games.  It was good to share with the next generation.

We are working on getting pictures from San Juan Baptist Association from the Navajo work, and we are planing a trip for a week or two in October to visit the San Juan Region to meet our future team, and get some pictures.

Pump Springs Baptist Church and Navajo Bibles!

Last night, we visited Pump Springs Baptist Church, where Rob attended in the early 2000's.  We had learned just yesterday morning, that Pastor Scott use to work at Immanuel Baptist, our home church.  Such a small world!  At Pastor Allen's advice, this was the first time Rob and I shared the talk, going back and forth sharing.  It worked well, and was our best talk to date.

The major thing that struck the People of Pump Springs Baptist Church was the fact the Navajo Bible had gone out of print, and they gathered an offering to buy as many Bibles as they could.  We came home to find in our e-mail box this morning, an update from our contact, the Navajo Bibles are BACK IN PRINT!
This is such a long standing prayer request dating back to 2011, and so awesome to see it answered.   We still will be getting Bibles to use for ministry from Pump Springs Baptist Church, and a great relief has washed over all of us.  God is good, He answers prayers, and has unique and special timing for letting his servants know the answers to their prayers.  Thank you to everyone who prayed and gave!

Ahe'hee'! Thank you!

Ahe'hee', ahe'hee', ahe'hee'!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We could not do this ministry without all our friends: those who pray, those who give, those who send, and those who go.  You are the ones we represent out on the mission field, and you are the ones God uses to keep us going!

The bottom line is, while we may be the ones heading out to work on the mission field among the Navajo, without our teams of friends we would not be able to begin this awesome endeavor.  We are heading out to the missions field as extensions of you and your hearts to see the lost coming to a personal relationship with Jesus.  We are both honored and humbled for the awesome responsibility to be called to this, and to serve you by serving the Navajo.

Corinth Baptist Church

 It was so good to get to share at Corinth Baptist Church in London, KY on Wednesday Evening.  It was good to hear of all the missions work they are already part of.  It always amazes us just how much God is guiding us to each church and person we share about the work with.  He is so good to provide for us, and blesses us with so many good new friends and churches to visit.  Thank you so much Corinth Baptist Church for hosting us, and for your join with us in our work!

We love to hear from friends while we are out traveling on furlough.  Wish to send us a card or a letter?

Our address is as follows while on furlough:
