Overview

Mission

Evangelism: To reach the people living on the Native American Reservations in North America and their bordering towns specifically focusing on the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona and New Mexico. Testifying to Jesus Christ is the main focus of this ministry. Jesus Christs last word to the church was to Go with the gospel Acts 1:8. So the heartbeat of this mission must be seeing people saved! It is our mission to help guide the hearts of people toward the will of God; bringing to awareness their need for reconciliation and daily fellowship with a Holy God. I John 1:3 Education: Training people for the work of the ministry. The word of God is our sole Authority for faith and practice. Providing folks with the right tools Bibles Tracts VBS material Songbooks revival is essential in Christian growth. Where possible we will attempt to provide material in the native tongue to further preserve the endangered Navajo native language.

What it reported doing in 2025

Currently we are working on a free Bible distribution working through local Navajo churches to distribute Bibles to shut-ins and the elderly. We are helping a newly formed Navajo church prepare to build a church facility in a very impoverished and rural part of the Navajo Nation. Additionally we are providing financial assistance and offering spiritual and logistical advice for their Christmas outreach program in the Whitehorse Lake area. We helped establish a Christian school on the Navajo Reservation and have reached out to the impoverished community in the area to provide support on an as-needed basis. We have formed relationships and partnerships with two churches on the Navajo Reservation and continue to assist them as required.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
