Current Projects and Needs
Building Project: We are over 50% finished on building a youth center. Donations towards this project are greatly appreciated, as are mission trips to help renovate it. Read more about this effort on the "Building Project" page. Currently this project is our greatest financial need as we are trying to meet some fast approaching deadlines. We work on the project only as we have money to do so. We are ready for phase II, which is the utilities, stucco, insulation, drywall, carpeting, and furnishing. We have have a matching fund that will match 100% of what you give!
Project Navajo Christmas: Each year we provide Christmas gifts to Navajo families in need, who wouldn't get a Christmas without our assistance. With your help, we can bring make Christmas happy for many families. You can assist by either adopting a family or by donating towards the Christmas fund
Summer Camp: We pay for several youth to attend Christian summer camps every year. Approximately $75/week per camper at Broken Arrow Bible Ranch. We also sponsor kids at Camp Native America which is put on by Summit Training Post and cost $25/week per child. We are seeking sponsors for 10-15 youth.
Tuition Assistance: We assist Native Americans with private and high school education by finding grants, sponsors, and making up the difference where costs are not covered. You can help sponsor a child today! (See our sponsored student at "Shavonna" page)
Wilderness Program: Each summer we take at-risk Navajo youth hiking, camping, and backpacking. Currently, we are not able to operate during the long winter months. We are trying to expand our program to include cross country skiing and snow shoeing. We are currently looking for grants to purchase the equipment. However, if you have an old pair of skis or snow shoes, donations of equipment are accepted. To learn more, check out our Wilderness Program page.
Computer Equipment: A new laptop and printer/fax for the ministry.

Did you know? The Hogan is the traditional home of the Navajo. It is a central part of Navajo culture and ceremonies. Due to its octagon shape, it is possible to build a Hogan without having to use a single nail. The roof traditionally would be covered with dirt, keeping the homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There is a female or 8-sided Hogan and a male or 6-sided Hogan. Traditional ceremonies take place in the female Hogan. The door of a Hogan always faces East to greet the morning sun!
