In Pastor's Words
Navajo Mission Trip
It’s hard to believe that we are only 1 week away from leaving for this year’s Navajo mission trip! This will be the sixth consecutive year that a group from Zion will have the blessing of taking Vacation Bible School to the children on the Navajo reservation in Blue Gap, Arizona. We are joining forces this year with Pastor Roger Dobson’s team from Victory Fellowship Church in Cody, and we are again expecting the Lord to do some amazing things!
On behalf of the entire mission team, I would like to thank each of you for your generous support of this ministry. You have been so generous with your prayers, donations of materials, and financial support. Without you, this ministry would never be possible. Thank you for your faithfulness. We are still in great need of your prayers. In fact, there is nothing that we need more than prayer! We come against constant spiritual attack, and we need constant prayer. Please remember our team daily in your prayers. In addition to the family prayer guide in the newsletter, here are some special prayer requests for each day of the trip….
Thurs., June 12 - The team meets at 7:00 p.m. to pack and pray. You are welcome to join us! Pray that we will be spiritually ready and that we remember to pack all necessary items.
Fri., June 13 – We depart after breakfast @ 8:00 a.m. We will drive to Grand Junction, Colorado. Pray for safety and protection of vehicles and trailers. Pray for unity among the Worland and Cody members of the team.
Sat., June 14 – We arrive in Blue Gap after dinner. Pray that we will have strength, energy, and efficiency in setting-up our tent city and getting settled-in for the evening.
Sun., June 15 – After attending a Navajo church service, we set up for VBS and hit the road to distribute VBS flyers door to door around Blue Gap. Pray for safety, blessing, and joy as we make these last preparations.
Mon., June 16 – Thurs., June 19 VBS each morning. Pray each day for the Holy Spirit to work mightily through the Bible School and each team member. Pray for protection against the many attacks of Satan. Pray for dry weather and calm wind, protection against illness, and unity.
Thurs., June 19 – After lunch, we pack everything and travel to Durango, Colorado. Pray for traveling blessings, endurance, and protection against illness.
Fri., June 20 – Today the team gets a day of rest. Some will go hiking, some will go rafting, and some will go shopping in Durango or ride the Durango – Silverton railroad. We will drive to Montrose, Colorado in the evening. Pray for a day of refreshment, rest, and good health.
Sat., June 21 – Today we will get an early start and drive home to Worland. We hope to be home by 9:00pm. Pray for safety and blessing for our trip home.
Blessings in Christ – Pastor Steve
