Thank you all for supporting the recent trip to House of Fellowship to work, worship and fellowship  with our Navajo partners at Bread Springs NM. Together with our Navajo partners we  hosted a capacity-crowd for a sewing workshop, where participants made aprons and pillows.  We finished the walkway to the outhouses and painted a new sign for the church. We delivered loads of fire wood, fresh fruits and vegetables and hygiene supplies to neighbors. We shared meals, jokes, stories and prayers. It was a good weekend.
