Nate & Casey

This week’s mobile pic comes from Nathan once again. But this time, all the way from Navajo Missions. The missions team spent 2 weeks in Arizona ministering to the residents of Leupp and Flagstaff. In this pic, Casey and Nathan are trying to look as normal as possible for the shot.

ARK in Navajo!

No, I’m not talking about moving our meeting place, but I’m talking about missions! This year, the Navajo Missions team has the most number of ARKsters ever!! Who’s on the roster from ARK? Let’s see. There’s Joel, Nathan, Christina, Grace. And alumni like Melissa, Jonathan, Charlie and Gowa (edit: thanks for the reminder Drew). And even an ARK parent!

It warms my heart so much to see so many of our students opening their hearts to missions work. I have to admit, I have a soft spot for Navajo missions. I first went in 1999 and fell in love with the people there. But more importantly, I fell in love with God’s kingdom work and acknowledged His call upon my life for ministry.

For our ARK students especially, Navajo missions is a perfect opportunity to experiencing God working outside of our regular lives. It will transform your life! Although, it’s too late to join this year’s team, you all have a full year to think about joining next year’s team.

But in the meantime, let’s pray for the Navajo team, especially for our fellow ARKsters. Please pray for:

• Safety, especially with regard to all the traveling in those big vans
• Anointing, to bring healing with hugging
• Strength, especially with regard to the long days and little sleep

Finally, here are some pics of the missions trip from last year:
