Arizona GO! Team Preparing

November 6-9 are the dates for our next Global Outreach (GO!) Team to be in service, this time in eastern Arizona. The 21 of us (a big group!) will partner with Arizona Reservation Ministries (http://www.azrez.org), a group serving the needs of the San Carlos Apache Reservation, just outside the city of Globe (2 hours east of Phoenix). Our four days there will be spent working with kids on the reservation, assisting with construction projects, and doing whatever else will benefit either ARM or the Apache people.

I cannot overstate the great needs that exist in this place. Not only are there physical and material needs (as much as 85% unemployment, over 50% of homes with no running water or electricity), but there are tremendous emotional, psychological and spiritual issues as well. Perhaps no other place I've visited needs hope more than here. So please pray for us as we attempt to demonstrate the hope of Jesus in all we do and say during this time.
