Native American Mission

The Native American Mission group (NAM) has a young but growing mission partnership with the Navajo Episcopal Diocese, especially St. Christopher’s Mission in Bluff, Utah and its mission church in nearby Montezuma Creek..  NAM members reach out to the families and children in this isolated section of the Navajo reservation in several ways.  In our annual mission trip we share lives and stories with Montezuma Creek children and families in Vacation Bible School activities, work projects and community dinners--and spend some time touring the Southwest’s unique natural sites. We also support St. Christopher’s in other ways, helping to expand its facilities and supporting its ministry to families and its nurture of calls for native clergy. During the year, we seek to build closer one-on-one ties with Navajo children and families through children’s magazine subscriptions and a Christmas angel gift project.

Our annual mission trip is a unique experience. The red rock landscape is different—and spectacular. The climate is different. The people and the culture are different.  There is no cell phone signal. But one thing is the same – God’s unconditional and sustaining love is there. You encounter it in a small smile, or a hearty laugh, in a quiet moment under the shade house, or in a child’s look of triumph after successfully tossing a Frisbee.
