6 of us got to Tuba City, late Friday night, the rest of the group had gotten in earlier that day and set up our campsite that we would call home for the next seven days. Early Sat morning we headed out to the Navaho Reservation that we would be serving at for the week. Its only a 15 min drive from the campsite to the reservation. Once there we met up with the others in the team that drove from Ohio, so we could have all the equipment and supplies needed for the week. They had brought everything, generators, cooking stoves and food for the week to feed 23 people. They brought all the VBS supplies and everything else we might need. The reservation has no running water or electric in the area where we will be doing ministry.
After breakfast, we had little time before camp meeting would start. Camp meeting is an annual weekend that a church would put on as an evangelistic and training time to challenge the Christians on the reservation to live for Christ, and to share Christ with lost family members and friends. We would spend the next 11 hours working with the children and youth teaching them. While most of the team worked with the youth, some of us got to share during the teaching time with the adults. We lead them in some songs and also shared from Gods word.
The day was long, but we stared to build good relationship, that will be important for the rest of the week, as we will be running a VBS for both children, youth and adults. We will attend a Sunday service today on the reservation, and the rest of the day will be spent preparing for the VBS which starts on Monday.
Please pray for the team as we want to see God do great things in the lives of those we serve this week.
