These Three Things I Prayed —My Navajo Mission Prayer
You know the song from Godspell entitled, ‘Day by Day’, right? It goes “day by day, oh, dear Lord three things I pray. To see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly day by day”. As great as those three things are to pray for the three things I prayed for going into our recent mission trip to Sawmill, Arizona were different. These three things I prayed:
- God use us
- God give us patience and give it to us now
- God please break the hearts of a few of our youth and adults--- you know really break the shell we have around us.
God answered these three prayers in some very powerful ways. I will be sharing in a sermon on Sunday August 3 entitled—you guessed it—“These Three Things I Prayed”. The sermon will be about my experience with the fresh winds of the Spirit on our Navajo Mission. Our youth will be sharing with the Stockholders and entire congregation on Tuesday August 5 at 7pm in the Soul Café. God moved on this trip and I hope you will come and listen to our stories on August 3 and 5.
Thanks so much for giving me and our youth this opportunity to serve the ‘least of these’ on the Navajo Indian Reservation.

Vacation Bible School 2008
Our Vacation Bible School "Power Lab" was a great success!! Our young scientists spent the week learning about the miraculous power Jesus gives us to be thankful, helpful, and brave and to tell others about God.
We will post a short slideshow of some of the pictures taken at VBS 2008 here on the website soon!
