MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT
Serve.
What does it mean to serve? The word serve can mean different things. For instance, one can serve in a restaurant or the military. One can serve a tennis ball or deliver legal notification to someone. One definition of serve is to render assistance, be of use, help. Many people are coming to our campus this spring and summer to serve. They will render assistance, be very useful, and definitely help! In February and March, we had groups come from Iowa and Kentucky, and beginning this month through August, folks will arrive from Nebraska, Oregon, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. These groups will be building decks and retaining walls. They will conduct day camps for our children and invite other Navajo communities to join in the fun. Some will help in the Four Corners Academy for Excellence, and a few will jump into Navajo Nation Outreach and lend a hand where needed. Others will work in our Hospitality House, cleaning after guests and preparing the house for the next group’s arrival.
No matter where they are from or what they do, they will be serving. We are thankful for these folks and ask that you join us in praying for their safety as they travel and work on campus. Pray that they are ministered to as they minister to others and blessed as they bless others. And while you’re at it, pray for opportunities to serve in your communities! God will answer that prayer, and you won’t regret it!
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10a NIV
