Teesto AZ, Cornfields AZ, and Bitahochee AZ Ministry Outreaches

Posted on July 5, 2011. Filed under: Ministry Updates, Most Recent Blog Entry |

Dear Friends in Christ: I’d like to tell you about how God’s Precious Jewels is taking part in ministry to Native American children, teens and adults in the following areas in Arizona. My good friends, Pastor Marcus and Tina James, live in Holbrook. They pastor Faith Assembly of God, which is a Navajo church. This is the couple that reaches out to so many of the isolated areas in Arizona. I just spoke with Tina and they are on their way to minister in Teesto on July 4th. They will be at each location between 3-7 days. Then on July 17th they will do outreach at Cornfields and onto Bitahochee Az for several days.

They are an amazing couple, with hearts for the lost. Even though they lost their own young son a few months ago in a car accident, they have not ceased to minister. They also spend time in discipleship training in their own congregation, so that each one has opportunity to grow in the faith.

My travel is limited these days due to physical strength issues. I mostly travel in California now, but the vision that God has planted within my heart extends throughout every state in the U.S. I had just told my board members that I probably would not be purchasing anymore Bibles until enough money came into the ministry. But, when Pastor Marcus James called to tell me they were out of Bibles, and explained the outreach plans, I could not turn a deaf ear to the need. I know that when we put God’s Word into the hands of precious souls, God puts His Word into their hearts!

They need Bibles for all ages. The following Bibles will be shipped to them tomorrow (July 5th): 4 cases of 20, of the NIrV children’s Bible = $319.20 – NIV Path to Victory, 4 cases of 24 (sports Bible for teens) =$479.04 and Native American NT for adults, case of 62=$155.00 — The complete Bibles for children and teens are ordered through Biblica (formerly International Bible Society) and the Native NT is ordered from American Missions International. The total cost = $953.24 before shipping. Each Bible for the children and teens have beautiful art work, and devotional Bible concept teaching included. The adult NT has over fifty pages of topical study guide information that is written especially for Native Americans.

GOD’S PRECIOUS JEWELS NEEDS YOUR HELP TO COVER THESE COSTS. IT’S SUCH A JOY TO KNOW THAT GOD’S WORD IS BEING PRESENTED TO OUR PRECIOUS NATIVE AMERICAN POPULATION. WOULD YOU JOIN HANDS WITH ME IN COVERING THE COSTS OF BIBLES? THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS A MATTER OF HEARTFELT PRAYER. ANY AMOUNT WILL BE VALUABLE IN MEETING THIS CURRENT NEED. MINISTRY CREDIT CARDS ARE GREAT, BUT SOMEHOW THROUGH THE YEARS I’VE NOTICED SOMETHING. WE HAVE TO PAY THE C.C. COMPANY.

While we wait, souls perish. We can take the Word of life, and the Holy Spirit will bring them into the Kingdom.

God bless you, Patricia Martin
