GO! Team Heading to San Carlos
Our next Global Outreach (GO!) Team is getting ready to hit the road this Thursday morning, bound for the San Carlos Apache Reservation and Arizona Reservation Ministry, located in Globe (about 90 mi. east of Phoenix). ARM has been working since 2002 with the San Carlos Apache, building houses, ministering to kids on the youth buses, and connecting with Apache leaders and believers on the reservation.
There are 12 of us on this team, and our hope will be to spend time with kids, help with home-building (some of us do worse at that than others!), help host a picnic/family day on Saturday, and return on Sunday. Please keep us in prayer as we drive, serve, share, and learn lessons God has waiting for us. There is great spiritual warfare in this place and an unusually abundant supply of hopelessness among adults and youth alike. Pray that our lives, our words, and our actions will demonstrate the hope of Jesus in a way that will make people want to know more. We'll update you as we go, both here and on Facebook.

The opportunity to join the KACC GO TEAM to the San Carlos Apache Reservation has so blessed me in ways that I cannot yet quite put words to. The ARM ministry is a united effort of believers committed to serving very broad needs in a complicated situation and by the grace of God have in a relatively short time been able to show Gods infinate love and grace to a beautiful people walking in century old sorrows. Your eyes can only be enlightened and your knowlege increased when you take in the full scope of the plight of these people. The majority of them are just children living in a world that requires them to be grown beyond their tender years. I witnessed poverty of a different kind then I had ever seen before. These people are set apart by the mysteries of deep tribal tradition and set in a back drop of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. But the broken lives and shattered dreams seem to blend in ever so quietly. Only if you take a moment to look into the eyes of one of these children or a pregnant teen or the strained face of a grandparent can you fully see the true story. And I wish I had a thousand hours to hear just one of their stories. The need for God here is staggering and I was enriched spiritually and emotionally to be just a small ..infinately small part of such a wonderful life giving ministry of Jesus Christ. I will hope and pray that more people will want to join a team and become a part of this life changing..ever evolving ministry of hope. Through your church and here at KACC we can make a difference with the help and love of God
