Pastor preaching on Sunday morning...what a joy to encourage God's people from God's Holy Word! He spoke from Ephesians 2 about how Jesus came to bring reconciliation with God and that He is the One who can bring reconciliation with others in our broken world filled with broken relationships. Jesus is our living Hope!
'Beauty abounds in Navajo, NM' by Pastor Jensen
Beauty abounds in Navajo, NM!!! I was struck by the beauty I encountered at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church. It manifested itself in three ways. One, the backdrop for the church is stunning ... the soaring rock faces were ablaze with light, as they reflected the summer sun. Two, the Navajo people are a beautiful people ... full of love, laughter, stories and creativity as well as a deep sense of family and a genuine desire to honor the Lord Jesus Christ. Three, the Nortons - Tim, Heidi, Philip and Leslie. Wow, what a beautiful family! Individually and collectively, they are offering themselves as living sacrifices to the Lord Jesus Christ for the sake of the Navajo people. It was such a joy to see firsthand the love they have for the members of the church and wider community! It was a privilege to serve alongside of the other team members from Our Savior and my Mom, but of course. It was a great shared experience for the two of us. Thanks for your prayers and financia
'It has been a blessing to me to spend time with the Navajo people' by Scott Deffer
Hello to all of you from Window Rock, Arizona. We have been busy with outdoor work around the church and houses on the property. We finished up today all that we were charged to accomplish. It has been very rewarding to help out Tim and Heidi Norton. It has been a blessing to me to spend time with the Navajo people, talking and doing crafts. Looking forward to seeing the Grand Canyon and Sedona. I hope all is well with everyone back home. Yours in Christ, Scott Deffer
