200,000 Navajo are in need of a personal relationship with Jesus...
Join us in bringing them Hope!


The Navajo are a deeply religious and prayerful people. They believe that the purpose of life is to live in harmony with nature and the Creator. Yet very few (approximately 7%) know the true Creator or have heard the voice of the loving Shepherd (John 10:11).

The Navajo people settled in the southwestern U.S. over 1,000 years ago. They are a peaceloving people who value relationships over material things. They care for their lands, livestock and their families, clans and tribe.

Today the Navajo face extremely high unemployment (50%) which contributes to many personal and family struggles. Since our first trip in 2005, God has blessed us with many close Navajo friends at Living Water Bible Church, NAOMI House, and the Holbrook Pentecostal Church of Christ. Our partnership with them is focused primarily on their spiritual, emotional, and relational needs by pointing them to Jesus.

“I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:16)

Help us bring Hope to the…
