Truckloads of clothing and other items sent to Navajo Lutheran Mission in recent years by Bethel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bellbrook, Ohio
Church also helps other Native American communities including Hopi
In recent years, the Bethel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bellbrook, Ohio sent four shipments of clothing and supplies to the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, AZ, and to the Hopi Reservation, Second Mesa, AZ.
"We traveled to Rock Point and had the privilege of attending worship and spending a day at the school with the children," said Carla Becker, wife of Pastor Steve Becker adding the group sent clothing and other items to the NELM in 2004 and 2006.
"The Sunday we were (at the Navajo Lutheran Mission), we rode in the van with Bobby Yazzi as he picked up people for church," she said "It was a wonderful experience, and I purchased a Navajo weaving from his aunt, Lolita Begay, which I treasure."
