Tuesday's Update

The cliff jumping you read about the day before!

Tuesday was a great day. And the Lord is really moving. Our group time last night was particularly powerful. The spirit of the Lord was heavy and then as we started to head off to our prayer groups, Darlene, who we are working for, asked to share something. She spent 10 tear-filled minutes sharing about her experience coming back to Christ a few years ago. It particularly connected with our scripture passage that night from Luke 7 speaking about the woman washing Jesus' feet with her hair. It was a particularly powerful moment. Please keep praying that God's spirit will be thick. We start our VBS this afternoon and really want that to be an important time.

Working on Ray and Darlene's roof.

Here is the update from two of our students:

Dalton and Tuck-Tuck here from Dilkon, AZ with your daily Tuesday BLOG!!!

For some the day started with an adventurous journey in the mountains, scaling the rock-face in the dawning sun. Such beauty from the peak it was. Awestruck we were, jaws dropped, as we gazed upon the thousand-mile desert. Others slept in.

Our quiet times were spent separate from each other as we focused on CHRIST. It touched on using our different abilities and gifts that God has blessed us with to help spread the word of God.

After our delicious pancake breakfast, we dispersed to our different worksites, ours happening to be at the home of Darlene and Ray. They are Navajo Indians living on the reservation. We did many tasks to help both the exterior and interior of their home. Some people laid down the floor on the inside; some painted the house, and many did shingles on the rooftop.

I don’t know what the other group did at the church. However, when I arrived back there, it was very yellow and clean. Plus, we actually had running water so we could shower.

After everyone finally showered we enjoyed a steak dinner and got our Jesus on. When the service was done Darlene shared her testimony with us. The entire room was filled with tears as we listened to her life-changing story. We then split up into our prayer groups and talked about what had happened that day. Some groups cried more.

When we were done with that. Most of the church went on a hayride around town. But Dalton and me stayed behind and wrote this. Goodnight. Talk to ya’ll later.
Agone (uh-go-nay) (Navajo for goodbye).

You need an update picture of Kieren everyday!
