Tucker/Norcross/Alpharetta CPA Firm Offers Serving Opportunities to Our Native Americans the Navajo…Taking Christianity Into the World
Thursday, March 11th, 2010Tucker/Norcross/Alpharetta CPA Firm Offers Serving Opportunities to Our Native Americans the Navajo…Taking Christianity Into the World
Many of the largest and most successful churches in Atlanta and in the whole of North America share a simple model for Missions to encourage all mission minded individuals to seek the prayer and financial support of others. In so doing the good news of Jesus Christ can be shared with others who are unable to go and to further the Good News of Christianity. Below is a sample support letter that you or your church and utilize and tailor to your specific needs and journey as we work together to Taking Christianity Into the World.
This summer, our family has the unique opportunity to go to a Navajo Indian Reservation and serve as missionaries through our church. We are very excited, not only about the opportunity to serve our church, but to serve God and be His hands and feet while building relationships with the Navajo people. It will be a great experience to share God’s love with all the wonderful people there and the opportunity to do it as a family is a dream come true for all of us. We are so excited to also be leading the trip this year and that takes a commitment for all four of us.
Pueblo Pintado is a Navajo Indian Reservation located in the NW corner of New Mexico. It is a very desolate area and most of the residents live in poverty and most students rarely even graduate from high school. While it may seem incomprehensible in the U.S., most of the homes do not have electricity or indoor plumbing. There is a very high unemployment rate, which leads to a high rate of alcoholism, drug abuse and violent crimes. With all that being said, they are a wonderful, warm, loving group of people who are so appreciative when we go out and spend a week with them just loving on them, giving them undivided attention and a safe lap to crawl into. They are slow to trust and still stand firm to their native culture.
We will be there the week of July 10th – July 17th and hope to do vacation bible school for the children, adult bible study, construction, senior home care, sports camp, community nights and more. We hope to spend the week demonstrating God’s love through our hard work and service to the Navajo people.
Of course, none of that is possible without financial and prayer support. The trip is going to cost a little over $800 per person (or $3200 for the four of us), which will cover all our travel, boarding and meal expenses. We would be honored if you would consider helping us in our fundraising effort by giving of your financial support and/or prayer support. Both of them are very much appreciated and without the support of wonderful friends and family like you, these trips just wouldn’t be possible.
Thank you for any help you can give us and for contributing in your own way to this wonderful mission! We have enclosed a stamped, self-addressed envelope for your convenience and checks should be made out to Sugarloaf United Methodist Church and mailed to us.
In the Grip and in Obedience of my Lord Jesus Christ,

We feel led to take Christ to the Navajo Nation (approximately the size of West Virginia). We are looking to take our model of service to the Navajo in Pueblo Pintado by partnering with churches, Bible Study Groups, Rotary, Chambers of Commerce and Kiwanis and then branching out to other locations on the reservation.
