AZ GO! Team On Its Way

Our team will gather tomorrow morning at 4:30 (or is that the middle of the night?!) at the church and make its way to John Wayne Airport as we wing our way to eastern Arizona for four days of service and connection with the San Carlos Apache Reservation and Arizona Reservation Ministry. ARM is one of the missions we support as a church, so our time serving them is important as is gives us the opportunity to more closely partner with them as they work with the Apache people.

Please pray for us as we fly, drive and pour ourselves out for the sake of others. We will be busy with construction projects, relationship building, kids' ministry, and assisting ARM in whatever ways they can use us. Pray for us as we deal with the spiritual warfare in the area. The reservation is a place of great physical, emotional, and spiritual need, and there is a critical call for hope in ways that we would probably never imagine. Our time there will be short, but we believe God can create change in the lives of people with whom we come into contact, as well as within us, while we are on site.

Thank you for your partnership with us as we go. You may not be able to go (this time!), but you can pray, encourage, finance and support those who put legs on Jesus' Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). In this way, we all have a part to play, a place in this work, and a connection with each other. Please lift us before the throne of grace this weekend, and we will do our best to represent the Lord and you to the best of our ability.

I am praying for you all that God will bless you and keep you. I am also preaying that my nephew Anthony will see just how big God is on this trip and his life will be changed in a major way. I also am excited that Dick and Lee are joining. I send love and prayers from Southern California and pray that God will use you all mightily in their midst. God bless and take care.
