Thank you for investing your
time in prayer for the
people here as the Lord
leads you!!!! In my last
update I mentioned that "Alv"
had finished all
requirements for graduation
from high school and was set
to go to Indian Bible
College (IBC) in Flagstaff,
AZ. I was surprised to find
out a couple weeks ago that
she may not go because of
no
money. I did not realize
she still needed help
getting applications in for
scholarships or financial
aide. I had the opportunity
to visit with her older
sister last week and found
out that "Alv"
had been depended upon to
help a family member get
their funding for their
schooling as well as get set
up with their schooling.
One of the realities for
many Navajo is the priority
of helping family even to
the sacrifice of what one
might have wanted to do.
Her sister also informed me
that "Alv"
had really wanted to go to
IBC but became very
discouraged when she wasn't
able to take care of
funding. I'm praying for
God's clear guidance and
provision for her.
I have had some great
opportunities to talk with
youth who have worked for me
this past month. I shared
with three youth the message
of the Gospel after they
were through working and
were
waiting for their Mom to
pick them up. It was the
first time they had heard
it. While working with a
youth, who has been in youth
group and is now attending
church here in my home, he
had many questions which I
greatly enjoyed
answering!!! He is the one
I mentioned was working for
me for the month and seemed
to be becoming disinterested
in spiritual things. He was
much more involved this past
Sunday. : )
This summer has been
challenging for me due to
the heat. I'm getting older
I guess!!! It was wonderful
to get help through the
month of July so I could
focus on progressing in
Natural Horsemanship study
and spending time with
people!!! Sarah and I did
start doing visitation,
though lately she has not
been feeling well. She has
had a hard time with the
heat this summer and most of
the homes we would visit
have no air conditioning.
Thank you for your financial
and prayer support as the
Lord leads and provides!!!!
God bless you for your
sacrifice for His work!!!
