MISSIONS WITHIN THE US

  Mission Team Out West - We will be sending a mission team West week of June 20 - 29th, 2009.  We will be  traveling to Show Low, Arizona and doing general maintenance work in the mornings at the American Indian Christian Mission School.  In the afternoons, we will be boarding the school's bus and traveling to the Navajo reservation to minister to the Navajo children in their neighborhoods and on their playgrounds.  We will end the trip with an overnight stop at the Grand Canyon on the way back to the airport.  This is an excellent opportunity for a family mission experience!
