December 2010

Welcome to the 7th issue of The Navajo Way, the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission's electronic newsletter!

Friends: December 6, 2010

We want you to join us as we walk together into God's future!

This letter is an Advent greeting to all the many generous people and organizations who have made generous contributions to the ministry of the Navajo Lutheran Mission in the past year. We thank you for your kindness and generosity and we encourage you to partner us in the upcoming year.

Many churches and individuals take trips to overseas countries to learn about different cultures, and provide short term assistance. We are interested in taking mission to the next level of commitment and relationship. We seek a life of common prayer, mutual visits, shared work in mission, and the financial and spiritual gifts that come from long-term relationships. In the New Year we will be sending you a brochure listing the many ways in which our partnership can take concrete shape, and we ask you for your help in imagining how our relationship can grow into the future, to our mutual benefit. So, during this season, when so many of us are determining our budgets for the coming year, we ask that you remember the Navajo Lutheran Mission and become a partner in mission with us.

The Upcoming Year

Our Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission is in an exciting and challenging process of developing a charter contract with the State of Arizona. The development of a charter school will provide the mission with substantially more financial resources once we are licensed. Obtaining charter school status will also result in a better funded and more family oriented religious education program.

If your contribution can only be prayer this year, please pray for us as we implement our new vision here at Rock Point. Certainly though, you can enliven your prayers by contributing financially to the future of our mutual Mission. You can be part of a bridge to the future by making a financial commitment in your budget for next year and with gifts now. What do you think? Will you renew your commitment to our partnership? We pray that you will.

To our friends and family of supporters, to all those who wish us well, who pray for us, to those who give so generously of their time and talent. On behalf of the staff, the Board of Directors, and the members of the House of Prayer, we wish you a very blessed and Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Peace filled New Year.

Please consider partnering with us in the coming year to become
"A Mission With a Mission,"
and impact the lives of the Navajo children and families of Rock Point, AZ.
