Day 9: The end is near

The team is leaving Sedona today. They will stop in Grasshopper Point on the way home for baptisms and swimming. 10 people from the team are getting baptized! Many people (including Navajo and members of the VBC team) gave their lives to Christ this week, which is incredible. God has done some great things this week. The team will be staying the night in Kingman, AZ tonight and will be home tomorrow evening. Updates should be semi-regular so stay tuned.

Heading home...

All we have for updates at this point are pictures. At least they depict signs of life right?

Suns out and feelin fresh....

Hello friends!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, we have very very limited internet access and it has been a difficult task. All 19 vehicles arrived safely late Sat night. Pulling in to the rez felt just like home to many of us and the start of a new adventure for all of us. Sunday we hiked to Greenvalley ( aka mini grand canyon) for Morning Watch (devo's) & communion and had time back at the mission for drama/dance prep as well as time to rest before our long week ahead of us. Monday we all got assigned out work sites..there are about 20 different work projects( including our "lifeline" prayer team, our "foodles" who work in the kitchen and our TLC - hospitality krew) so we are keeping plenty busy. The basketball camp is a hit this year with over 40 kids attending! The kids have been great and the coaches are running a tight ship. It was super hot yesterday but we are thankful for the beautiful clouds in the sky today. During devotional time this week, we are all sharing our 2 minute testimonies. What a great group of people to serve with! Feel free to ask us about them when we get back! Check out facebook.com/VBCHSM for more updates and pictures!

Day 3/4: People are alive and well...Internet not so much!

Hello folks. The team made it to Immanuel Mission safely and began their respective work projects today. Tonight the team will go to various Navajo family homes for VBS. The internet has had some issues so the updates may be sporadic at best, but we will try! Enjoy the pics (from Ari Byers).

Day 2: Cracker Barrel and Driving

The team had a hearty breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then hit the road for the Rez. They should arrive at Immanuel Mission this evening. Stay tuned for updates. Also check out the HSM or MSM facebook pages.
