Many people make plans and programs, but ours remains the same in 2018 as it has been from the time we arrived in Navajo: make disciples by baptizing and teaching. 

It is not unusual for people of faith to have very serious trials in their earthly pilgrimage. At the same time, we rejoice that God doesn’t abandon us, that we have a Savior who has come to us and restored our hope and our future.

We often get stuck between yesterday and tomorrow, either looking back or looking forward. We need to be reminded God comes to us in the here and now, and all we need to focus on is our life in Christ today.

After four years of hard work, Pastor Tim Norton has been ordained and life continues on

I’ve heard people ask the hypothetical question, “What would you do if you knew today was your last day on earth?” Paul’s point is to ask ourselves that very question every day. The knowledge that Jesus may come at any time helps us to live in the Spirit and to live in the moment.

Please Thank God with us for: 

• The New Life through the Water and the Word that a family received last Sunday.
• The work of the CUI group and the great fellowship we had with them.
• The team from Our Savior’s in Topsfield, MA, and how the Lord used them. 
• The wonderful ordination celebration on August 27th of God’s calling and faithfulness. 

What began as a men's retreat became a youth retreat, as Tim Norton (serving in Navajo, NM) and Rick McCafferty (serving in Anchorage, AK) hiked underneath the Navajo people's sacred Hesperus Peak, just outside Durango, Colorado.
 

Summer greetings in the name of our Savior. Looking back in these past few months it has been a whirlwind of activity but God has used it all in accomplishing His mission!

I thank you, my dear Savior, that you accomplished what you set out to do: to win my salvation and the salvation of the whole world.  I pray that you strengthen me to set my face to accomplish the difficult things in my life. Amen.
