Christ For All Nations  June 2009

Testimony from Mission Team Member God is such a good God as we all know, so many times we get busy in life and forget the needs of people right here in America. God has continued to show me grace and mercy and opened my eyes again. The Navajo people are so precious, God loves them just as he loves us all, but like any reservation, the demonic powers keep people shadowed from the True Light which is Jesus Christ. Alcohol and drugs grip so many people along with depression and quarrels, the Navajo people need to hear the truth to set them free. It was such a blessing to be able to minister alongside of Daniel and his family. They are truly out here for the Glory of God; planting seeds, water­ing, tilling, and harvesting soils for the Kingdom of God. What stood out to me most was the religious spirit of America, even on the reser­vations. As Christians we can all get caught up in doing ministry but missing the relationship with God through Christ. If no one goes to share the truth, how are people like the Navajo's going to hear the truth to set them free. Plus, those who know Jesus, but are stuck in sin—who will stand with them in prayer and encourage them to walk with Jesus so they will be holy by a new nature? I saw people changed wile CFNI was here, not by what we did, but by the power of the Living God working through us. This touched my heart like Peter getting caught fishing after Christ rose from the dead. If you Love Me, feed my sheep. So many times we want to be back where we are comfortable instead of on the mission field. God is calling you! Thanks to God, CFNI, Daniel & his family, and Esther for help­ing me understand love again.

Christ For All Nations            May, 2009

 Praise Report!          Ray Powell

Where do we start!!!! God has been moving in a mighty way here in New Mexico. We have had so many opportunities to minister to the needs of the people in this area. First, we were asked by a church behind us to come and minister at a funeral for a 17 yr old young man that was killed in a car wreck. Many of his friends are drug or alcohol addicted. There were about 300 at this funeral and the staff of CFAN got to tell them about Jesus and lead some to Christ. It was an all day event and there was a mighty move of God. Then, the same week, we min­istered in a nursing home in Farmington and had a power­ful move of God. The Activi­ties Director stated she had never seen such participation from the patients and we were encouraged to come back soon. We go there now 2 times a month. Next, we had a meeting with the School Board and they are consider­ing giving us the use of the closed School in Lybrook. While at the meeting Daniel talked to the Principal of Ly­brook School and she will allow (wants) us to come and have the general assembly on May 18th. Our summer groups will have the opportu­nity to go since the school is going to year round classes because of the needs of the children in this area. She stated that most don't get proper meals at home, don't have decent clothes to wear, and have no support at home to even want to learn. We are going to get involved in taking care of some of these needs! God is opening doors daily here so keep us in your prayers that we would con­tinue to have the staff and monies to meet these needs. The seeds have been planted over the years by Mom and all of you faithful supporters are sharing in the Harvest with us. Praise God for all He is doing!

Peace of mind—knowing there will be food on the table

Food & Hygiene Distribution

Our food distribution program is feeding between 50 and 60 families per week. This number is growing weekly and we expect it to continue to grow. Our new distribution center will be the old Lybrook elementary school. Along with our food distribution, we distribute clothes and various hygiene items. We need funds to keep up with the growing demand for food and supplies. A load of supplies can be purchased for $2500. This load is filled with enough supplies to help 2500 families. We are presently raising funds to purchase a load and re­stock our warehouse. Will you consider sponsoring a load?

From Our Founder                 Lazelle Powell

Death and destruction are all around us. Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Family’s are killing each other, Terrorist, Sickness, Disease. We are watching our nation die. Jesus came to give us life an abundant life. During these troubled times we need to meditate on things just, pure, lovely, good reports, things of virtue and praiseworthy. Phil. 4:8

There is a secret place with God and He instructs us to dwell there. Ps. 9:1

God wants us to put all our trust and our faith in Him because His plans for us are always good. Jeremiah 29:11.

He alone can give us that peace that will surpass our understanding.

We are living in perilous times. But because of Christ we say. Oh; death where is thy sting? Oh grave; where is thy victory?

Jesus said; let not your heart be troubled. No matter what you are facing, let this be a day of new hope. Looking forward to the things above where eye hath not seen nor ear heard but God has revealed them to us through HIS SPIRIT. 1 Cor. 2:9

Lazelle Powell, our founder, plowed this ground for 26 years. Her work would not have been possible without your prayers and financial support. We are seeing a harvest along with greater need. The economy is suffering and so are God’s people. As you know, we still need spiritual and financial covering. We have listed our more pressing needs and ask you to continue to pray and seek the Lord’s face on how He would have you to help. We praise God for your continued support. Without you this work and coming harvest of souls would not be possible.

Do You Know God?

If my people who are called by my name will humble them­selves, pray, and seek my face, I will hear from heaven, and come and heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14.

We believe revival is coming! Revival starts with prayer. Revival starts with rever­ence to our creator. We just started a brand new series on Tuesday nights called Creation to Christ. We are rededicating our commitment to discipleship here on the reservation and be­lieve that by equipping God's people, they will begin to walk out there faith.
Norvan and Helen will be teaching the first section of the book. Helen taught the first lesson last week entitled "Who God is!" Many of us know things about God, but how many of us truly know Him? This week’s lesson is on Angels, demons, and creation. Helen will be laying foundational truths that we will be able to build on as we teach our way through the Bible. Norvan will be teaching on "The fall" and explaining the choice to disobey God Adam & Eve made. Will you pray that the Holy Spirit would speak through the Ar­nolds' as they teach God's word? Pray our Navajo brothers and sisters will receive the teaching and begin to call upon our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Pray that they would begin to respect our creator and revival would sweep across our land!

April 2009 Newsletter

For all those who have not heard. My prayers have been answered and my son Ray will be taking my place in New Mexico serving as the new Administrator of Christ for All Nations. He will be moving to New Mexico around the 9th of April. The years of training he has received here at CFNI has equipped him for the ministry at CFAN. We believe this is a perfect timing of God. With the economy like it is, and the ministry he is already involved in, " Helping Hands Ministry. " Soon there will be a great need of Joseph ministries around the world. Throughout the ages, God has shown through His Holy Word that he has a will, and a purpose; and a plan to deliver his people from the hand of the enemy. God sovereignty saved the children of Israel from starvation and ultimate extinction during the times of famine and economic disorder by raising up Joseph to a position where he could not only meet their temporal needs but minister to their spiritual needs.

Leaders of other nations are saying the US budget is paving the way to hell for America. That is a strong word. Prophets have been saying for a long time judgment is coming to America. When a democracy begins to vote themselves money from the public treasure. The next move always is dictatorship.

Prepare yourself, your family and those around you spiritually for what promises to be a "wilderness experience" for most. Begin to ask the Lord for wisdom in everything you under take to do. Use your preparedness, like Joseph, to minister to the temporal needs of those not prepared and use that and every opportunity to share the gospel.

How we thank God for those who have stood with us through thick and thin as we have struggled together to serve our Lord through CFAN. You know our ministry is in one of the remotest area's of the Navajo Indians and our ability to serve as Joseph did will largely depend upon people like you who God can count on as our world begins it journey into no return.

A scripture to hold onto in these trying times. Ps. 84:5 - 7,
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength,

We need to give much thought to the question The Lord ask us in Psalms 95;16 Who will rise up for me against the evil doers, or who will stand with me against the workers of iniquity?

Cindy Jacobs was a recent speaker here at CFNI. She read David Wilkerson's March 13, 09 newsletter and several other prophecies from well known prophets. All speaking of great concern. Seven countries at least wanting to do away with our dollar. Murder, homosexual lifestyle all now voted into our laws. So many other anti Christ laws hidden in the stimulus bill that will effect, the guns, the farmers, ranchers and the home you live in. Everything will belong to the government. Doesn't it sound like Hitler has risen from the dead. All I can say is pray and believe. If we stay close to Our God, The Lord Jesus Christ abiding in The Vine. He will cover us with His Feathers and watch over us like a Mother Hen and the peace that passeth our understanding will be ours.

Thank you again for your gifts this month. We pray great blessings upon you and covet your prayers for CFAN.

Love you,

Lazelle

February 2009

1 Thessalonians 19:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  24The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

Many today struggle with sin in their life and they think. I cant live for God. There is no way I can live a righteous, holy victorious life. That is just a lie from satan. Read the above verse, Jesus who calls us is faithful and his power that works in us will do it. Many live in fear today. More and more committing suicide they have lost their jobs " have been laid off " or lied, stole, deceived people and now they think there is no way out. More and more want a band-aid fix. So they will put their trust in government instead of God. Government stimulus package they think will save them. It is a real joke. They should try Gods Stimulus Package it will never fail. His funds will never run out. His provision will always be there for those who truly call upon His name. His love, mercy and forgiveness flows like a river from The Throne Room calling out to all who will come and be washed as white as snow. For there is no sin to big that God will not forgive it. Nothing is Impossible with God.

God has called you and I for such a time as this.

God is answering our prayer; Today Ray is in Lybrook with a lovely family who will soon be joining the other workers there. They are a family of six.

We are praying for a big harvest. Many of you have labored in Lybrook and in lots of other places and your labor has gone unnoticed but I say to you it is not unnoticed by the one it matters to. I believe in heaven you will see many times over and be rewarded for things you thought no one was aware you did. God saw it all along and wrote it in a book. So remember your labors are never in vain.

      We thank God every time we look around the ministry and think of all of you.
      God Bless you and Thank You.

Love you All

Lazelle

Please, Please keep CFAN and all the staff and our Navajo people in your prayers.

I heard a group of businessmen on TV last night and they said they believe God is raising up Joseph's today and positioning them. I believe that is true. May we all be listening for His voice.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Teresa Neumann (January 4, 2009) “Live generously and God’s love will be evident in your life.” Contemplating setting goals for 2009?

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has some ideas: live generously, reflect all year long, and grow closer to God.” A list of resolutions can lead to discouragement if the goals prove too difficult to maintain. After all, lasting change begins in a person’s heart- not on a numbered list of piece of paper,” writes Ann Marie Chilton for the BGEA website. “If people are generous with their time, generous with their money, and generous with their belongings, then it’s easy for other to see Christ’s love lived out through their lives. Chilton advises Christians to memorize portions of the Word of God and spend time with Him daily by setting a devotional prayer time every morning. I thought these words were worth sending out. You may not be able to always keep resolutions but giving, reading the word, praying should not be options. They are necessities in our walk with Christ.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SO GRACIOUSLY GAVE TO CFAN THIS YEAR.

We had a wonderful year. You gave more than I could ever imagine. We were able to reach people in different areas. Thanks go to Larry, David, and Norvan. We know we could be reaching deeper into the reservation with a larger number of qualified teachers. Pray with us as we continue to search for additional staff to over see and work in Lybrook. Time is so short and we know God is bringing ministries together to be more effective for His Kingdom. I feel so humble to be a part of such an awesome work and I never want us to fail to accomplish all God has on His agenda for CFAN. I believe we have entered a time on God’s calendar when the unusual will be the norm. God’s people will be known, not only by the love we will have one for the other but the signs and wonders performed in our midst. One of my sayings is, God took me to Lybrook a widow woman who had nothing and could do little. All he wants from any of us is to talk to a stranger on the street or to begin a ministry. HE IS GOD. Thanks to all of you again for your continued support and prayers. You are the reason we are still doing what God wants us to do. Acts 28:31 We are still permitted to preach The Kingdom of God, and teach the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no man forbidding us.

The Navajo Nation will soon be closed to The Gospel of the Lord Jesus unless God intervenes.

AT CFAN

Praise The Lord. Marlene Yazzie, the young lady we were praying for to become Secretary at the Counselor Chapter House was elected. She was voted in last week. This should open a door for us to minister there again.

Rena said, They had a great Christmas at CWC the usual hay ride, caroling and giving out presents, which we always supply them with. Thanks again to all of you.

I know Larry and Tamara blessed some of the churches with their beautiful music.

David Beaver is teaching and helping at Trujillo’s Church. Jenny’s sister Elisha has taken her place in church leadership and works well with David and CFAN.

I have need of very few things here but God is so good. I have a little walk to the washateria. I ask a neighbor if she knew a place I could purchase a basket with wheels to push my laundry in. She said that someone just moved and left her one. She did not need it and she gave it to me. Before we even ask, He has whatever it is we need.

Two of my Board members will be joining me on a trip to Lybrook in February. I am really looking forward to that. I speak to my friends there often but it is not like seeing them face-to-face.

MY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS AT HOME

I can’t begin to tell you how great it was to spend time with all my family and not be in a big hurry. I am enjoying living on the campus of CFNI with Ray my oldest son. He is a blessing and watches over me. He stays very busy wearing many hats with his job here at CFNI. Then he has his growing ministry, Helping Hands on the side.

I visited Ray’s children Jeff, Karen and son Trent. Jeff works for the Department of Treasury in Washington. Karen is a nurse practitioner and they reside in Virginia. I don’t get to see them often because of the distance. They came home to Louisiana for Christmas.

God has been so good to show his compassion and love to them in many ways, drawing them closer to Him during this trying time. They stay busy babysitting grandchildren.

Amy works at the Ball Community Center. Her husband, Chris is a salesman for Floors Unlimited. Their children are Elizabeth and Hunter. The doctor has diagnosed Hunter as being autistic. We pray as he gets older all the problems will be gone.

Jessica is assistant Manager at American General Finances. Shelley and Ethan are her two children.

Tim and Lisa: Tim stays very busy at the Meineke Muffler Shop, which he owns and operates. Lisa works at WalMart. Lee Ann works in Baton Rouge and Blake is going all over the country playing his drums with Altard Band.

Drew is a senior at McKinney North High School and ranked 4^th out of 398 seniors. Drew will attend Texas A&M University at College Station, Texas in the Fall. He will be majoring in Biomedical Engineering. For the past three years Drew has played for the Bulldawg Varisty Tennis Team. Daniel a junior attending classes at CCCD plans to transfer to University of North Texas in the fall and major in Marketing. Daniel also works full time at Countrywide Mortgage Corporate Offices. He also plays on a men’s tennis league in his spare time.

I have listed 7 children, 5 spouses, 14 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Seven is a perfect number I feel God has given me the beautifully perfect family, five times over. They are each unique and very special.

 In His Name

November 2008 Newsletter

OUR ECONOMY

As Children of God it is so good to know, Our economy is good, very good. It is never the same as that
of the world but of The Kingdom of God. He supplies all our needs according to HIS RICHES IN GLORY
THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.

We are reminded by God to pray for this worlds system and its leaders.

1 Tim 2: 1,2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty

Proverbs 21: 1,2
1. The king's heart [is] in the hand of the LORD, [as] the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Remember he guided David’s heart but he also guided Pharoh’s.

Prov. 28
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination.

10. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good [things] in possession.

As Children of God we are aware of the choice America made during the election. Never in the 2008 years of America have we been where we are today.

The most liberal president we can imagine. Now most Congress and Senators, leaders of our country will go right along with his plans of abortion, same sex marriage, freedom of speech (only to those who say what they want to hear,) one thing being there is no God or it doesn’t matter who you worship for there are many gods. Are we now writing the last pages of history for the United States? It behooves us brethren to take inventory of our lives. Ask God what will He have us do at this time of history. When we stand before Him what can we say we have done on His behalf.

Larry and Tamara took off for Ark. On the morning of Oct 23 in the lovely Excursion we have purchased for his use at the ministry. Thank you for making this possible. They had with them three Navajo,s. Pastor Jerry Domingo, his daughter Geraldine, Irene Augustine and her daughter Rosita. Rosita is one of our license ministers. They shared in music, testimony and the word in three churches. It is so good to see our Navajo,s going out and ministering. Pastor Moore shared with me they had a great move of the Holy Spirit when Larry & Tamara ministered in music.
Every time I hear from CWC the are having sales and doing all kind of things to raise money for their trip in June to minister in the white mans Church. I tell them how proud and thankful I am to see what they are doing. They have been over helping our staff get all our Christmas gifts separated and ready for our big Christmas Service’s.

Maybe some of you still want to do something for the Navajo. CFAN will be going to The Counselor Chapter House for a Christmas Service since we have Marlene coming to our Tuesday night services and she is on staff at the Chapter House she has opened this door again for us. Praise The Lord. This means we will need lots more of all of the gifts, candy, fruit and nuts. Christmas is such a fun time on the reservation. I will really miss it.

They are fixing our bags for Thanksgiving dinner, turkey and all the trimmings at this time. We are so blessed to have all of our staff working together to fulfill the vision of Christ For All Nations.

July 2008 Newsletter

Praise the Lord,

Here I am seated with my leg on a pillow thanking God I can walk again, even with a walker, but I am looking forward to the day real soon when I don't need the walker. The Lord has not let me have pity on me. Just the beginning of such thought he shows me all the soldiers fighting for my freedom coming home with no limbs and all deformed from bombs taken for me & you.

For those who may not know on the 6th of June. I was going into Red Mesa (the gas station close to us.) I fell and broke a hip, split the bone. Then there was and operation and rehab center. I did so well I had to spend only one week in rehab and now am home and doing well. Thank everyone for your prayers. God is so good and He is answering them.

I thank God again for the help we have now. Larry, Tamara, Norvan, Helen and then our Navajo's..

God knew all this was going to happen and He sent help in time. Helen is my 24-hour nurse and has been so helpful always singing the songs she writes which are beautiful.

We had our first summer missionaries come in Activation from Colorado, Pastor Dave & Dee Thompson. They are always wonderful and from the reports coming in I know heaven came down & glory filled the tent as they ministered.

Lucy Begay one of our Navajo's put together a beautiful Ladies Meeting. Decorations, food, she took care of everything and planned the whole meeting. The speakers. Dee Dee Thompson, Tamara, Helen and some of our Navajo ladies, Marlene, Lydia and Rena My staff said it was a very special meeting. Then Harvest Time Bro Shinn & wife Jearldean with some very special ladies came and had our first VBS. I am still receiving good reports from the Navajo. They are very thankful for all the groups that come out in the summer,

Bro David Thompson and Bro. Jerry Shinn was so sweet to bring services to me in the rehab center & in my home. I was so blessed by the & their ministry and beautiful music

Today a couple of our Navajo ladies came and sang their beautiful songs and we just had church. I have to be healed fast with all this ministry. He sent his word and healed them.

I was also blessed with having my son's Ray and Timothy and my daughter's Leah and Myra come to be with me a few days.
We all have been in a place where we ask the question WHY LORD). I guess that is where I am now. God is the only one that can answer that for me and because I know HIM so well I know HE will, One thing He is working on is humbling me more showing me His compassion and how I have been lacking in some of these area's. When you are lying flat on your back looking up for a period of time and you can't even get your mind to concentrate you realize how much you need others to be praying for you. Then you are more thankful than ever for the scriptures you have hidden in your heart His promises that are never failing knowing this to will soon end and He will never leave you nor forsake you.. But please keep me and all CFAN in your prayers.

Dear Precious Friends.

Thank you for the lovely flowers, the phone, calls, the cards, visits and most of all your prayers. Please know the work of the Lord is going forth every day by our new staff and I'm now able to do a little in the office.

Every group that comes in is unique and special.

We have been working a lot with Jenny Trujillo whose dad passed away and she was his assistant^. Pastor., She has not been able to cope with the situation, so thank God, we have another couple who has just came to join us and we are able to have one of our men minister at that church every Sunday.

Marlene who has been great help to us is going through a real tough time, as many people are today, with their children. Her son has been on drugs and alcohol and some of his so called friends wanting to kill him. We have a friend with a drug rehab center who has taken him in three times but he is out again, please, please pray for him. I also have some grandchildren who have also been deceived by the devil and are not serving the Lord. They know Jesus and have asked Him into their heart but are serving the devil right now We all must get hold of every promise God has for us for our families and not give up until we see them repenting and returning to the Father. We need to satan proof our homes, fill them with things that invite the presence of Jesus.

Lou Engle and John Jimminez’s wife were on Benny Hinn. Benny asked Lou what he thought the future held and he said: he believed the next two years were critical. America will either turn back to God in repentance and prayer or we are doomed. I believe they are calling for a forty day fast and gathering in Washington on July 16, before the election. Then there will be another ca to prayer in Washington before the final decision on the gay issue in California. I pray every American, every Christian that can go to these meetings will be there. Those of us who can't, let’s pray without ceasing for our country.

June 2008 Newsletter

 Dear Saints,

Since we have had a record amount of snow, tornadoes, floods, hail, then the earthquakes and are wondering what hurricane season might bring. I thought it might be wise to consider what God's word say's.

He tells us when we see these things to look up for our redemption draws near.

Ps. 37: 5 God thunders marvelously with His voice. He say's to the snow fall on the earth, likewise the gentle rain and the heavy rain, from the south the whirlwinds and from the north the cold, and they swirl about doing whatever He commands them. Notice verse 13. whether for correction, or for His land or, for mercy. Ps. 38: Have you entered the treasury of hail, which I have reserved for the day of trouble. For the day of battle and war.

I do believe the world has entered the day of trouble. JERUSALEM — The Israeli
government estimates Sen. Barack Obama will win the presidential elections and is rushing to finalize a deal With the Palestinians and possibly Syria before President Bush leaves office, two top Israeli diplomats told WND.

The diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Israel is seeking to create "defensible borders" within months, fearing if territorial negotiations were held during an Obama administration, Israel would be pressured into more dangerous concessions. The election is so soon. No matter who becomes president remember to keep Israel in your prayers.

Ps 46: Thank God He is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. We will not fear, even though the earth be removed and the mountains be carried into the midst` of the sea. The Lord of host is with us the God of Jacob is our refuge.

May this be our prayer. ( Ps. 17: 15, As for me I will see your face in righteousness: I will be satisfied when I awake in your likeness.)

Thank God for our opportunities here just wish we could fulfill more of them, Thank God for Larry, Tamara, Analine, Norman & Helen we are doing more every month. Teaching, preaching, counseling, fixing flats.

On the Jewish calendar it is time to celebrate Pentecost, so we have been offering up lots of praise to our Lord for all He has done for us. How we thank Him for The Holy Spirit

Jesus said: I will not leave you comfortless but I will send the spirit and He will be with you always. It is so good to know we are never alone.

We love you all and Thank God for you and your support to CFAN.

We covet your prayers and appreciate your request for prayer that we always take before the Lord.

God Bless you

May 2008 Newsletter

May made it’s entrance with ice most every morning and cold all day, Larry was given a nice wood stove that he put in the trailer, I thanked God for the two heaters I purchased last year for Shalom and all the new windows. Hopefully we can get a garden planted soon,

We have spent a lot of time going over the rooms, getting them ready for summer. You all know how hard it is to go from one building to another in winter. Everything just gets all piled up.

Thank God for Norvan,s truck, He & Larry have been cleaning out our clothing room and delivering food. It would be wonderful if we could get the school going again. The school district called and was very disappointed that we had closed school. The DZ school had a meeting last night to discuss what to do about that school. The children are not making the grades and the last two years have been really bad. The beautiful Lybrook School we don’t think is any better. In these things we need to hear from God.

What to do? How can we help? We had a meeting with Don Compton in Albuquerque. Don has been in different types of prison ministry for years. He is the gentleman I purchased Shalom House from. We are praying we can work with them in the future.

PRAISE REPORT

Everything went well with my daughter The turner was burned out by a radiologist Thank you for your many prayers. Please continue the prayers for her until we have a complete healing. She will continue her treatments Tamara's eyes are much better. We had a strong Navajo Religion worshiper accept Jesus, and lots repented and came forward for prayer when Four Corners Worship Center ministered here. Then when Altard played here and in Shiprock. Again the Holy Spirit moved and many came forward repenting.

April Newsletter

We had a wonderful service with Robert Tso on Tuesday night, March 6.

Then Deborah Charley and I left for McKenny TX, where my daughter Leah lives. We thought we would be greeted by some nice warm weather. The Lord had different plans. It very seldom snows in Texas. Can you believe it began to snow as soon as we arrived, big Texas snowflakes. My grandson made a large snowman. (We were accused of bringing it with us. Maybe there is something to their claim. I returned to New Mexico on Tuesday afternoon, the sun was shining probably 70%. The next morning I looked out to snow, today is Thursday and it is still snowing. We are in a drought and the snow is so dry it is not producing the moisture we need. Surely it will come.) We had to fly Deborah back I went on to share with some of our wonderful sponsoring churches and individuals, things God is doing in Lybrook NM. No matter how many days I take it seems to never be enough to see all the people I want to visit I want to thank those where I did go for giving me such a good welcome. We love all of you and know there is no way we could be ministering to the Navajo people without you. I am thankful for those who are able to come out on mission trips and work assignments each year. With high gas prices I know it will get harder but it means so much to us and the Navajo.

I was blessed to spend some quality time with my family, I went with Myra, my daughter for her doctor’s visit. Her reports are good. Pray her strength will return soon. God has promised strength for each day. Agree with us in prayer for a swift new wind of His spirit to flow through her body and bring strength and complete healing. I thank all of you for your prayers for her. As I shared in a few churches I was burdened to bring a word God lay heavily on my heart. I want to share it with you. l know The Holy Spirit is speaking this message everywhere. On my trip I heard the same thing in some pulpits everywhere and on TV. People are asking why has our country become so liberal. I would like to answer that question. After creation God found Abraham in a country where everyone was serving other gods. He separated Abraham from the danger of those gods, later he found Moses and said to him; l am God worship me there is no other. In Deuteronomy He stressed to him the need of teaching the people. I am God worship no other God. Here are my commands to you. Teach them to your children by day and by night Write these words everywhere that they might see them and hear them continually. Jesus came and taught, ye must be born again, follow me. The pilgrims came to America to have the freedom to worship the true God. Greed, lust, perversion soon changed the heart and they like Aaron instead of doing what they were sent here to do, soon they had made for themselves many golden calves and now America is worshiping all the gods the Indians had plus adding many more to their list. When Paul found himself in a city and saw all the other gods in their life, he said; I see all these gods you worship, but I have come to tell you about the one and only true God. Year after year families began to find other things in their life more appealing and fell right into the trap satan has set. They have failed miserable to teach their children, their grandchildren the word of God, His commands to us. They are too busy making money and having fun just like God said they would do if they did not COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE DIFFERENT. Abraham, Moses many others finished the race well. Where we began on the narrow road with Jesus, do we now find ourselves on the wide road of the world pleasers in instead of Christ? Is he lifted up in our home our families. Can our children tell us more about Hollywood stars than about the one who loved them so much, He died for them? This is why our government is in such a mess. Today as Christians let’s look at the candidates through the eyes of Jesus. Go by the standard of the word of God. If Christians will humble themselves take a stand we can make a difference and bring change, Change back to One Nation under God. If they are for homosexuals, abortions, new age, then you be assured they want god out of everything. Let’s pray and pray for a miracle in the coming election.

Tuesday Night Service

More people are coming to our meetings. They are learning the importance of worshiping only The True Jehovah God.

Please pray for our summer groups, for CFAN, Larry, Tamara & Analine as we work together exploring new avenues of service to be more effectual for our Lord.

I love you all and thank you with all my heart for your faithful support Please, Please keep me in prayer for wisdom in making right decisions and giving right counsel.

God Bless you love you

March 2008 Newsletter

In the Pictures Larry and Marlene are having a little trouble, he is stuck. It has been very hard trying to make deliveries or going any where on the reservation because of the roads.

Many of the Navajo’s water lines have frozen and broke, The Chapter House, praise the Lord has been taking some of their allotted moneys and hauling water & wood for them. We have and abundance of food because of you wonderful people that keep sending in food money.

Thank You,  Our food pantry is running over. Thank Our God of More than Enough.

Someone just gave us a big load of the Navajo’s favorite beans. (The pinto.)

Deborah had a dream; so many people are having dreams. In her dream she was in the Dome and she said it was the most beautiful place. Where the front door is there were curtains with all the colors of royalty mentioned in the Bible. (The colors on the curtains in the Ark.)  She was walking all over the Dome praying in the Spirit. Then she began to pray violently. I think this is telling us we will win the battle against all the demonic spirits that have been here for so long, but we must pray. This is why CFAN need to be in your prayers every day.

We have always felt CFAN would be a place of refuge, safety for Gods children. We have seen so many miracles but we know we have not entered yet into the glory God has for His church. Ephesians tells us the mystery of His glory His Power will be made known by His church. (The Pearl of Great Price.) Hallelujah we have so much to look forward to.
This is and excerpt from Charisma’s Editor

“IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND. THE LORD HAS BEEN CALLING OUT TO THE CHURCH TO HUMBLE THEMSELVES. WE THE CHURCH ARE THE ( MY PEOPLE )  AND FOR THE MOST PART WE JUST KEEP GOING ON IN OUR IDOLATRY AND HAVE PRETTY MUCH REMOVED JESUS AS HEAD OF HIS CHURCH AND MOST CERTAINLY HAVE REMOVED THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM OUR ASSEMBLIES AND REPLACED HIM WITH PROGRAMS AND FALSE MANIFESTATIONS.” Much truth in what he says.

THANK YOU

Because of you we can be here and bring food, clothing, hope, joy, peace and the love of our Lord  Jesus Christ to this nation of people who are lost and dying everyday without The Saviour.

Thank you for your faithful support. May God Abundantly Bless you. You are in our prayers and I am so thankful to know we are always in yours. God is moving here even with all the bad weathers and roads. Praise the Lord he keeps blessing and blessing. Our Navajo’s are growing in the Lord. A Navajo just came to the door to get water it seems the new pump that provides water for all of them in the back, is broken. Pray for their water situation and electricity for all of them. We found out during our water crisis here how hard it is to do without water

We Love You   & Thank You again

Christ for all nations

Newsletter February 2008

January, what a month every day I thank God for the new windows and heaters we purchased last year.  They have kept us warm in this extremely cold weather.
Even in the cold we have stayed busy.  Tamara, Deborah and I went to Albuquerque to a church service where Congressman Steve Pearce spoke.  He is definitely not ashamed of the gospel.  He shared his and his wife's testimony of their love for the Lord.  He was able to have a prayer room set aside in the White House for nothing but prayer meetings.  He has a wonderful testimony and is worthy of our votes.  We have invited him to come speak to our Navajo's.

TUESDAY NIGHT

The snow was so deep I could not drive my car to the Fran Roland Building and Larry was gone, I thought oh well, no one will come to service tonight so Analine and I just planned to pray at Shalom House. Soon people began to come in and 14 people crowded into my small living room where we filled it with praise and worship and talked to word.

ANOTHER MIRACLE
A church in Tennessee since sent large donation for Christmas.  The check never reached us so they issued us another, we just received this one.  I have are often if we would have received it before we may have found other things to spend it on and we needed now more than ever.  Our gas and electric bill are over and above during these winter months and it is so good to know we can meet the mall and buy some more groceries.  Thank you each one for your wonderful faithful support to CFAN.  God bless you.

FOOD

God is answering prayer.  We had no food in our food bank.  I went to town and a dear couple, Ross and Michelle Trujillo; they are wonderful friends and sponsors of CFAN.  They had asked us to pick up some clothing.  As we were loading close Ross asked if we needed meet.  I quickly told him how desperate we were for food of any kind.(Echo the government agency that supplies us with a little food did not receive any during December or January.)  But the Trujillo's sent us away with a nice supply of delicious hamburger at choose Elk.  Then I called another mission that can sometime help us out.  Sure enough they said; come over and they loaded our car with lots of canned goods and stable things.  God is amazing.  He always supplies our needs.

Larry and Tamara are going to lots of churches ministering in music and needing so many wonderful people.  Larry is trying to get together a men's meetings on a regular basis.  I think he is the one that can do it.  He also works with the over commerce class, teaches Bible.  He is a great help.

We have had so many requests from the youth to teach on the end times; that we have begun a movie night to show the end time movies.  I think we all had better began to think more on heavenly things.  That is where we will spend eternity.  I love Myles Monroe's teaching on The Kingdom has been preached all over the world.  We need to steady the Kingdom Message and preach what Jesus and his disciples preached.  Every day people were added into the Kingdom, and fear fell on the hearts of those who were living in sin.  I pray that terrible things to happen in our country to turn people's hearts and desires that to our Creator.  I was shocked when I read American Family Association's Voters Guide by some of their stands on gay rights, opposing traditional marriage and moral education.

George Washington prayed this prayer.  Direct my thoughts my words and my actions.  Wash away my sin in The Immaculate Blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit daily frame me into the likeness of thy son Jesus Christ.

MAY THIS BE OUR PRAYER
May God guide us as we cast our votes.

CFAN Newsletter January 2008

My Dear Friends;

It is hard to believe 2008 is here.  Our world has never been in such turmoil, and so many Christians seem to be unaware of what the prophets are saying and the Bible has so clearly made plain to us to look up when all these things begin to happen, for our redemption draws near. 

I am finally drawing myself together, after a doctor told my daughter to go on a long vacation.  There was nothing that could be done for her.  She might live six months.  Thank God the doctors are not always right, and God has lots of things yet to do with my daughter. She is alive and growing closer to Lord every day.  She just had an MRI, and again, the report was good...  Praise the Lord.  Thank you for your prayers.

Over the years we have prayed, Lord help us to be able to pay the people who come to work for us.  We never felt we could afford it.  By faith the board and I decided it was time to give a salary to our staff.  This is a big step of faith for me.  The day I wrote the first check to Larry, I had a call and a new church was sending us a check.  I believe they will become a monthly sponsor.

Immediately I thought (oh me) of little faith.  God will supply all our needs through his riches in glory, and Christ Jesus.

This brings me to say how I love and appreciate all of you who over the years have been so faithful in your support.  We have never been late paying our bills.  Even last year, when the gas went so high we met all of our payments. 

God Answers Prayer:

In my last newsletter, we asked for an electric piano for Tamara to play and immediately Jan and Buyck came out and brought us one.  THANK YOU ABUNDANT LIFE. 

Everyone needs to make a trip out just to hear Tamara.  She and Larry have been going to different churches doing praise and worship.  Larry is meeting other ministers who are making promises to come and help us with construction projects on the reservation and collect food for our pantry.

Our pantry has never been so empty. Echo, the government agency, where we generally pick up a little food,(they never gave us much) and it called and said for the last two months they would have nothing.  Since the government has something to do with the food they receive.  So we are asking for the churches to help us more with this need

The snow was so deep Tuesday night, we thought no one will come to service.  We did not go over to the chapel.  We were in my living room praying when the people began to come in.  We had a wonderful service.  Our roads have not been good for travel, but we have driven slow and not had to miss a night of teaching.

Many of the Navajos came out to help us get ready for Christmas.  Bessie and her husband from Farmington, also came to help.  They are faithful to come when needed.

With all that we do, sorting the gifts into age groups, then bagging them a, preparing the fruit gift bags, with apple, orange, candy in a big scoop of peanuts.  Jan McGowan always helps with the decorations and her husband Buyck keeps everything up and going even cooking the big Christmas dinner. Larry and Tamara put together a beautiful musical telling the Story of Jesus.  Rena gave the imitation.  Many commented on the lovely service.

It was another miracle how everything came together so beautifully.  Our pictures will show you where some of your Christmas gift monies and gifts win and the joy of the faces of the 200 or more who attended.

  Prayer Needs:

• Analine; she is our new staff member.

• A PowerPoint projector

• Musical Instruments 

• Food

• Please pray that we can afford the gas we need for our vehicles.  We use the Van all of the time now plus the car, and they drink lots of gasoline. 

We did our regular Christmas caroling with Christian Worship Center.  It is always cold, and we have a hayride and pass out gifts and sing.

We brought in the New Year with prayer.  We showed the video, Transformation, and had different groups sing.  Then as the midnight hour drew closer, we began praying not making resolutions, but proclamations.  Proclaiming promises in God's Word for our families, friends, sponsors, our ministries, the country and just covering everything we could.  We really believe this year is a special year for God's people.  Isn't it wonderful to work for such a KING in such a time as this.

OUR COUNTRY HAS NEVER NEEDED OUR PRAYERS AS IT DOES TODAY.
Let us not go to sleep.  When so many things are hanging in the balance.  We need God to intervene, he moves when his people pray.

Thank you for your faithful support. 

God bless you with a few.

December 2007 CFAN News

Jesus, Messiah, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Rose of Sharon, Oh what a Savior we have.

I Love Christmas. December 25, probably is not Jesus actual birth date, most bible scholars think it is in October; but this happens to be the day set aside for us to celebrate.   Lets really celebrate, don't look for all the faults, the commercialization and things men have done to keep us from celebrating. Just think about Jesus and celebrate His Birthday. Let's worship Him. What would we do without Him?

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, praising and thanking the Lord for all He has done for us and the Navajo.

Most of you know Larry came from The Joshua House, it is like AA but it is a spirit filled 12 step program with 18 months of ministry to the students, some of the men he worked with are now working for the Ministry. Four of them came out and brought Christmas gifts and clothing they had collected. Also Ray and Bobby, two of my sons, came pulling Rays big trailer filled with food, clothes and Christmas gifts.

Many of you contributed to this need and we are so thankful. Because of you, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We filled the grocery bags to overflow with everything for a big family dinner including the turkey. Some of the Navajo have been coming over to help us separate clothing and getting the gifts ready for Christmas. It looks like we will have a wonderful Christmas. We cannot say Thank You enough for the extra money plus all the things some of you sacrificed to send. The ladies had a ball   shopping at our place.

Summer schedule is filling up fast if you plan to come now is the time to give us a call.

We had a great three night teaching by a Navajo man we have just met from Shiprock, NM.  We want to stay connected with him and his church. He helped rally together a lot of people for an all day prayer and praise meeting in a Farmington park, in which we participated. The event was to chase all the demonic activity   away and clean the park up spiritually. A man who has a big ministry in Farmington was caught there in a homosexual act and has been going there with many others for years.

Evergreen Academy brought another precious group of their students who did their reading to the children at DZ school and they did Drama's at Church. They are always a blessing. We are enjoying the fireplace burning the wonderful hard wood that Lee Little and his son brought us.

Prayer requests:

*My daughter, Myra, had pneumonia; she is better now but very weak. She aches and hurts. Pray for strength and healing on her body.

*Some of our friends and supporters are very ill, some are facing surgery and need our joint prayers. Lonnie Bass, Beverly Poole, Bookie Baker, Lois Ingram, Billy Prince. We ask you to join us in prayer for miracles from The Great Physician.

Memorial gifts:

Given by Christy, Katlyn, & Lachan Misner in memory of Mark Misner.

Also  by Mr. & Mrs. CC Baker in memory of Mark Misner.

 

Thank all of you very much for all you do for the Lord through CFAN. We are proud to serve with you. Larry is counseling his first couple. We believe this is the door God is opening for us.

God Bless everyone receiving this newsletter. Please keep us in prayer every day.

In Christ's Love,

Lazelle

October CFAN Newsletter

Praise the Lord!

Thank you everyone, for your prayers for my daughter Myra. The Dr's say the fluid  has almost dried up. The spot is healing, its almost gone and she is in remission. Rejoice with us and give God all the praise and all the Glory. He is awesome.

Thanksgiving

Many of the stores would like to forget this Holiday. We hope to celebrate it real loud with food bags for lots of needy families and teaching them why we all should be so Thankful to our God for this country, for the Pilgrims and the Indians who made peace in the midst of all the wars going on around them; and Squanto, a Native American who taught the pilgrims where to hunt, fish, gather food and how to fertilize corn and beans. Then in 1621 gathered in their first harvest and invited their Indian friends, 90 of them came and I would say it was like The Feast of Tabernacles as they prayed, thanked God and shared the first fruits of their first harvest in America. It is recorded their festival lasted three days. Our children need to be taught diligently the things God has done for us.

In Sept. 2002 a Historic Prayer Journey was made to Plymouth Rock. Christian Native Americans Leaders  from over twenty tribes representing nine linguistic groups led by Dr Jay Swallow co – founder of ( Two Rivers Native American Training Center and the Native American prayer Center in Mounds Ok. The request the Native leaders made to God at Plymouth Rock was for Him to visit their people again and bless them with the revelation and knowledge of His son Jesus and bring them into their destiny as the people He made them to be. This reminds me of the Evangelist I worked with for years and his prayers and tears for people to come here and teach his people the word of God. I am so thankful we can be a little part of answering those prayers, this is only because of all of you. There will be a great move of God in this land one day and we will all be a part of it. Thank you for your support in every way to us.

This would be a good time to reflect on all God has blessed you with this year and to look around and thank God for all his blessings this year. If you have escaped the fires, the floods, the tornadoes, or having your home totally destroyed as so many have, then you have much to thank God for.

One of my many thanks to God is for Larry and Tamara. They have already brought joy through their beautiful praise and worship. Tamara is praying for a new electric piano, like the one she has which is 30 years old. It still sounds beautiful to me but she notices all the flat keys and says it is hard to play now. Of course we are praying for a tractor, when you visit here and see how the land keeps moving around you will understand our need. Maybe you know a farmer who has retired and has and old tractor that he would like to give away. We are still praying for all the technical stuff it takes to use the power point. It would be so nice for our teaching. If any of your churches buy new musical instruments, or sound equipment we would like your old if it is still in real good condition. It is very hard for me to ask for things because God is so good to us and truly supplies all of our needs. Then I'm always reminded we have not because we ask not, and it is not for me. It is for the Kingdoms work. I am excited as to what our God is planning out here.

"O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."

Psalm 100

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,   behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem saying, "Where is He who has been born  King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."

Matthew 2:1-2

 Preparing for Christmas

My grandchildren have celebrated some elaborate birthdays this year. I would have loved to have attended them all. Praise the Lord we all now have an opportunity to celebrate together the most important birthday in all history. Wherever you are I pray He will be the focus of these special days soon to be on our calendar, as the world tries to take Him out of everything Lets get ready to celebrate Jesus. We have been busy with people coming in to help already sorting and preparing things that have already come in.  This is the first time I've seen pumpkins under the Christmas trees. The merchants can't let a season begin before they are advertising the next. It makes us realize time is fleeting and soon there will be no more opportunities to win the lost. We are so thankful to all of you who help us each year at this time to bring the love of Christ to a nation of people where only 5% know Christ as Lord and Saviour.

Here is a list of things we will need; practical gifts for all ages, canned foods and cash or gift cards to purchase meats, turkeys or ham. We also purchase 100 lb bags of peanuts, crates of apples and oranges and lots of candies.

We would love to be able to give many bags to the needy during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Ray's dates again for pick up in your area:

 Louisiana Nov. 17,18

 Texas Nov. 18,19

 Arkansas  Nov. 19,20

 His cell phone # is 214- 727-6126

Our Guest for October were Laverne Little and Helen (a missionary to Mexico ) they were much help and it was so interesting to hear Helen share some of her experiences. She is really a trooper. She actually lived in a dog pin and the dumps to be able to witness to the people. Laverne's husband Lee and their son Jerry brought us a pick up and long trailer loaded with oak wood all the way from Arkansas, God is so good. We will stay warm in the dome this year.

Chris Leirhiemer and one of his teachers Chee brought a lovely group of middle grade students. We went to Dzith Na Oh Dithle school a couple of days where the students read to the Navajo children. They are from Evergreen Academy in Colorado and always a great blessing to us and to the schools.

God Bless all of you.

May you be blessed with the grace and favor of our Lord.

Love you,

September Newsletter

September, wow what a month! I was thinking things might slow down, we seemed to just keep going. Deborah and Cornelius Perez, from Singapore were our first guests. The day they arrived a water line broke and   for three days we had no water. I asked them to go to a motel but they refused and said they were used to these things as missionaries. That is what I call real missionaries. We all took sponge baths and lived as many of the Indians live 365 days out of every year.  They held a revival at Christian Worship Center, only a few ladies attended. Their teaching and ministry was wonderful and they were not affected by the small number. We knew God had brought exactly who he wanted. These ladies were so touched and became burdened to begin to pray and believe. I'm always thinking on The Marriage Supper of  the Lamb many have been invited, but who will come. Those who attended were very blessed and the fruit still remains.   They spoke of how Abraham pleased God. God said he could trust Abraham to make a covenant with him because he was willing to leave all tradition, religions, lands, families &  the false gods to obey the one true God and God even said he saw how Abraham would be faithful to teach and command his children after him.  This really touched home with them. There is a real struggle going on with those who want to leave all their old religious ways and follow the Lord Jesus. This meeting brought hope, courage and built up their faith.

Rena was so touched she had all the ladies stay after church the next Sunday and she gave them a prayer assignment for the month.   There is a noticeable change in the ones who attended this meeting.  Please keep Rena and the Navajo's  in prayer, they are growing and the devil is hard at work. One of Rena's son's brought a girl into the home and wanted to live with her in their house, traditionally with Navajo this is alright. Rena knew this was wrong. It was sin and if she allowed it, it would take away God's blessing from the Church and her home. She came to me and I gave her lots of scriptures concerning when we do right and obey God's commands we are blessed. When we know to do right and do not do it, it is sin. We talked about Eli's son's who committed adultery on the steps of the synagogue and because of these things, Eli, the priest and his family would pay a high price. Rena put them out of the house and told her decision from the pulpit, which was very commendable. I always say hold a high standard and bring the     children up to that standard, if you lower your standard you just go down with them. Jesus says lift him up and he will draw all men unto himself. We lift Him up through our obedience and testimonies. We must all began to be like Abraham and teach our children the ways of God and the importance of following God. Don't give up on any that are far away. Find some good promises in the word for your children and began to pray for them. The prayers of a righteous man availeth much.

 I want to mention a young person who came with the Minnesota group from First Methodist Church, Danielle Vitali. This young lady raised money to buy a basketball goal set for us. These young people should really be recognized and praised for doing things like this. Thank you again Danielle. We now have two basketball goals. A good project for this coming summer will be making a nice level place to put both goals up for the youth here.

 Ray brought a load of furniture and things for Larry and Tamara along with lots for us and three wonderful women who cleaned and cleaned on my house. It really needed it. Jan & Buyck came early to help prepare for The Feast. I wish all could have seen how beautiful she decorated our building. They blessed us with their messages and Jan's music. Buyck just worked and worked. everyday getting things ready then cooking and serving. They are such a blessing to CFAN.

They also brought me a beautiful bouquet of red roses for my birthday.

How I thank all of you who sent cards, gifts and called. Thank you for remembering me. I am so blessed to have the family and friends God has given me.

We were so blessed again by Delores Paas, another of our wonderful speakers and a great blessing always to CFAN and the Navajo. She brings to us the latest news that concerns Christians. Her love for the Jews keeps her in the word and close to the Lord.

Feast of Tabernacles follows the days of much repentance and being sure our hearts are right with God, bringing your family together and telling them how God brought you out of your Egypt (your life of sin.)   For seven days, over and over again while looking up to the heavens you should reminisce   and tell the children the greatness of God and the things He has done in your life. The importance of righteousness, holiness, service & giving, especially blessing Israel should always be the theme. These are the things that please God and bring His blessings to you and to your family.

We had the pleasure of ordaining Jackie Jacobson at the Feast.  Jackie teaches at Rocky Mt . Bible Institute and throughout the Denver metro Area. She is an intercessor on the team of International reconciliation coalition for the Indigenous people, a ministry that encourages, facilitates and prays for the healing of the wounds of the American Indian.

This is a portion of  Jackie's view of The Feast this year:

"WE WERE SO BLESSED TO BE WITH ALL OF YOU. TO SEE EVERYONE AGAIN MEANT SO MUCH. I KNOW EACH YEAR IS DIFFERENT AND THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT IN YET ANOTHER WAY. WE TALKED A LOT ON THE WAY HOME ABOUT THE TRANSITIONS, PHYSICALLY WITH STAFF AND SPIRITUALLY WITH WHAT ANDREW WAS TALKING ABOUT. I CAN SEE THAT WHATEVER IS DONE IN THE SPIRIT TO FREE UP THE OPPRESSION WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT YOU. YOU ARE THAT SAFE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE FREE CAN GO. PERHAPS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, CFAN WILL BE TOO SMALL TO HANDLE THE WORK???"

"WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THE RIGHTEOUS ROOT YOU HAVE PLANTED THERE OVER THESE LONG YEARS HAS GROWN A "TREE" AND THAT TREE IS A HOME FOR THE NAVAJO. I BELIEVE THE LORD HAD YOU ESTABLISH CFAN SO LONG AGO THAT HE WOULD HAVE STABILITY ALONGSIDE WITH WORK OF WARFARE THAT IS GOING TO BE DONE TODAY. CFAN HAS BEEN A STAGE OF WARFARE AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE MORE "TROOPS" COMING. IT TAKES MANY TO DO THEIR PART. YOU WERE THE PIONEER IN IT ALL!"

"MY THOUGHTS ARE: THE PART ANDREW IS DOING IS VERY SPECIALIZED THAT ONLY A FEW WILL BE ASKED TO DO. ALONGSIDE OF THAT WORK, THE REST OF THE BODY AND NAVAJO     BELIEVERS MUST FAITHFULLY DO WHAT THEY ARE GIVEN TO DO. TOGETHER,  ALL OF YOU WILL BE USED TO BRING A NEW LEVEL OF FREEDOM TO THE NAVAJO IN NEW MEXICO."

"IF WHAT ANDREW SAYS IS TRUE, WHEN THE NAVAJO GETS SET FREE, IT WILL BE A CATALYST FOR THE REST OF THE TRIBES IN THIS CONTINENT. THIS IS WHAT PRICKED ME. I AM BURDENED AND LONG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY AT PINE RIDGE. I CANNOT DISMISS THAT   HE  MAY BE A KEY!! I  PRAY DECEPTION OF ANY KIND OFF OF HIM AND THAT ONLY THE LIGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT RULES HIM. I PRAY HE STAYS TEACHABLE AND KIND. I PRAY THE FATHER SENDS HIM WHAT HE NEEDS."

So many have spoken of this being and end time ministry . I have always felt in my heart the same thing. That is one reason we have been so bombarded and opposed by Satan and his cohorts. He does not like us to here, on what he thinks is his territory. God has placed us here for such a time as this.

When this Navajo preacher made a diagram and showed us our position, our location on the enemy's map no wonder we need constant prayer. (We will share more info on this as we receive it.)

Now more than ever we ask for all individuals and churches to keep us covered in prayer. As strongholds are located , we will be able to help tear these things down. God loves these Navajo people and wants them set free.

My, God has blessed us again. Larry & Tamara Ham have moved in and are getting settled and I know God has some wonderful plans for them and CFAN as we work together.
They could begin to make records today, their music is so heavenly. Already they are a great blessing.  Please, please keep them and us, Christ For all Nations, in prayer.

Prayer

Today we are blessed to say our prayers are being answered. We are reaching into Russia, India, Mexico, Israel, US, the Navajo Nation and I don't even know how many other places. Our board members Terry and Betty  minister in every year. It is such a blessing to be a part of God's work in His Kingdom here on earth.

Ray is in Mexico this week along with Terry Beatty they are doing construction on a church.

Jackie will soon be going into Russia to minister & teach.

Lolita Vito, who has a CFNI Bible college in Nagaland, to see her reports of the disciples coming from that ministry is miraculous.

And Israel (God says: I will bless those who bless Israel and I will curse those who curse Israel)
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

We pray you are gathering things for our Christmas here.

Rays Schedule for the Thanksgiving run:

Nov 17, 18 Alexandria, La
Nov 18, Atlanta, TX
Nov 19 & 20, Arkansas

Pray for him as he travels so much and do load his truck with lot of goodie's.

He has been blessed to find a place to get most of our paper goods. If you can send gifts, food especially canned fruits, string beans, corn, spam, sweet potatoes, any kind of veggies or canned meats, these are the things they love not the large cans, the Navajo's have no refrigeration.

May God richly bless all of you as you bless us in so many ways.

Larry, Tamara and I feel like this is the timing for God and the Navajo Nation.

We also know there must be much prayer and we do plead with you all to join us in some times of fasting and praying.

Thank you for your prayers already and your support. May God Bless you abundantly.

AUGUST 2007 

WOW! What a summer, It began in June and hasn't slowed down. We are seeing fruits for our labors.

We had a Navajo man, one that we have ministered to for years, come to give his testimony. I think, it was the first time he ever stood before a group of people and testified of the goodness of God, and his desire to walk with God and lead his people to Jesus. We were all in tears. Then to have several of our Navajo ladies and youth volunteer to go with me and help in VBS. What a blessing to me. This is what we have prayed over and over again for. They were excited and Rena said, "We want to take VBS all over our Navajo Nation". She continues to hunger and grow in things of the Lord. Where there is a will there is a way.

I was willing to have VBS's everywhere but did not have enough teams coming in to cover each area.

Ken and Gail Brunk and their two lovely daughters arrived from Lindale Minnonite Church , Linville Va. This was their first time here. They were ready, willing and prepared to do whatever was needed. Our Navajo, sisters came along and together we had a wonderful Bible School at Cecil Sales Church. Our theme was The Good Shepherd and the Navajo's brought some very good little teachings to their people.

Then Upper Room came led by James Engle he brought a construction team and some great youth. They had not come prepared to do a VBS. But these youth went with me and one of the men again God blessed and we had a very effective VBS at Stanley Edways Church. Jeanette, Bro Stanley's wife mentioned how well they all did. The adults had a real good Bible teaching and on the last day we managed to have a good craft for them. I admired Upper room's youth as they had other plans and they changed it all to help us out.

They built a beautiful deck and ramp on my house so Theresa from CFAN can come in when she visits. They removed the cabinets from my kitchen so the next group could bring new ones in.

They repaired Shalom's roof. They installed new windows all around the house and a new door. This should keep the heat in and the cold out and save on our utilities.

Bob Bertelson sent the iron bars from Shalom to a friend of his in Albuquerque and had them refinished.

We had beautiful music from their band YADA their band. They worked on our van. They did so many things I don't have room to tell.

Upper room passed the hammers on to Ray and the men with him they passed it on to those from Virginia. It was so neat to watch as one team left and another pick up where the other left off.

Clyde & Wanda Plum from Kentucky was another blessing from God. We traveled all the way to Farmington, and the Navajo's joined us again in this VBS. We had and awesome time and lots of people. Bro Clyde dressed as The Good Shepherd. He looked for his lost sheep and at the end found it. That was our theme. Wonda did a wonderful job with the youth and children with the help of our Navajo's. Everything was put together at the last minute even to our crafts we collected from things left over the years.
Ray brought Terry and Manning from Texas his trailer loaded down with cabinets and appliances. They came in on Thursday late got up worked all day on Shalom Friday, installing cabinets, and appliances. Replaced old faucets etc. and worked till 3pm. They were so tired but they headed back to Dallas I don't know how these men do it.
Larry Hamm and Tamara met the men from CFAN here and Larry jumped in and worked along side them and Virginia group. They are the answer to our prayers for help.

Praise the Lord. Please keep them in prayer. They should be moving in before the 21st of September. This will be in time to help with The Feast of Tabernacles which will be September 21, 22 this year.

We have seen God move through salvations and rededications and we give Him all the praise.

Please send all Christmas presents early so we can sort and be ready. Last year was rather hectic up to the last minute Thank you, Thank you.

Lynside Mennonite Church, led by David & Kristi Kanagy with Kingdom Builders, have been coming so many years. They just come in looking for things to be done and do them. David's group tease him, they call him Pharaoh. No time for play when they come, they have breakfast, devotion and then to work until church time or bedtime.

I looked out my window and thought who needs a tractor when they have young men from Virginia. They had made a road grader out of a crate and building blocks and did a good job of grading my road. Our kitchen had flooded in The Fran Roland building. They worked days, put in a culvert and did all kind of things to divert the waters from the building. They painted walls and decorated some rooms even made a matching headboard and lots of curtains. They bought a sewing machine to use then gave it to us. Still had time to help in shalom house painting, cleaning, etc.

Pray for CFAN as God brings new help in. He will also bring new ideas and more effective ways to reach the Navajo Nation for Jesus. The people are very upset because their president has taken much of the money they need and bought very expensive gold rings to give all his councilmen. The men are refusing the gifts. They say they were sworn in to be a service to their people.

July 2007

 I praise God every time I think of all the things that happened and all the people who were ministered to in so many different places. We have seen healings, repentance, people renouncing their old religion and giving their hearts to Jesus. Also we received many repairs on our buildings, painting, plumbing, and carpentry. Shalom is getting a face-lift, new windows to keep the cold out and heat in. The new roof is completed on the dome.

Some of my precious family visited in June they even brought Myra, my daughter whom many of you are praying for. Mary Alice Moore brought several from New Life in Arkansas. We had two wonderful VBS's, one in the morning and evening. Some of her people worked on our plumbing and yard. They always seem to bring a peace in troubled areas. Their morning devotions give a good start for the day. New Life has been coming out for over 20 years to help us. They are loved dearly by our Navajo.

Activation Ministries from Colorado lead by Dave and Dee Thompson came with 42 hard workers and min­isters. We went to the far back country with a great tent revival. They installed my windows and painted sev­eral rooms in Shalom. They did so many things. Every night there were signs and wonders in the services. The cooks, the painters, the carpenters, the cleaners the teachers, & ministers all were special. Also the wonderful United Methodist church came from Minnesota with Jessie Fiqurero & Bonnie directing them. They are another fantastic group of people. They came in and picked up where the other group left off, ministering not only to our Navajo but also to the youth group they brought. I enjoyed the morning bible studies and especially the way the young people took part. You can tell they are making disciples in their church. Their men came last year and built a room on Lorenzo and Lucy's house for their daughter Lori. This year they finished the sheetrock, painted it all blue and put a beautiful rug on the floor, it is just lovely. They did so much more; I could not begin to tell you.

Harvest time from Arkansas was our next group. Every church went to a different area and ministered the word of God. You can see we have already covered a lot of territory with the precious Word of God and there are many more groups to come this summer. The Shinn's from Murfreesboro always amaze me. They bring a small group but do a big job. We had a sweet VBS then wonderful services at night The Holy spirit is always present when they minister. This is what makes CFAN a place for all nations, all tongues, all Gods people are welcome. Each one is special when they come here.

We have two rooms filled with gifts for Christmas and lots of things for CFAN thanks to Ray who brought a huge load to us. Now we need people to help us get everything in its place and organized.

Praise the Lord we have help on the way. Larry and Tamara Ham will be joining us in October.

They are a wonderful couple from Oklahoma, they have been out several times with their Pastor and Larry has come out with groups to work. Please keep them in prayer.

Please pray for CFAN and me, also pray for the complete healing of my daughter Myra. I wish I could get my Thanks you's out faster, but all of you know how grateful we are for your support and prayers. Thank God we can hold on to his promises and claim our mountains for him.

May 2007 Newsletter

We were blessed with many visitors in April. Sherry Rawlings & her friend Becky Rogers from Cerro Gordo, Illinois.  Pastor Clyde and Wanda Plumb from Shenandoah, Va. all came to help and (Help they did) they all worked so hard . We appreciate them and welcome them anytime. Then I had relatives, whom I had never met, come visit. We had such a sweet time talking about our families. 

God allowed me to go to the Fellowship of Ministers at CFNI in Dallas, TX & to be able to participate in discussions about many things going on in our churches today. We are all seeking answers to many questions. We know the answer is in the word and there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors. I appreciate others input concerning the many things that arise here among the Navajo. I always pray for God's wisdom in confronting their problems. 

We had our monthly Hurfeno Area Ministers meeting and I was nominated to be the next President. It was a job I hated to have to turn down. I love the meetings and fellowship but until we have more help I told them I could not take on the position of president.

I preformed another wedding for a little Navajo Lady I've known a long time. She was already married by a Justice of the Peace but wanted a Christian Wedding. I did not know her Father in Law was a Roadman in the Navajo Religion. That is the highest position in their religion. After the wedding he gave a speech. I could not understand all that he said, most was in Navajo. He told me I said some good things but that we all have our beliefs. Pray for this couple Andrew and Geraldine Jackson. They will need much prayer. I am getting wonderful reports on Frandale Segay the husband of Wonda Charley Segay. He went home to his family who are strong in the Navajo Religion they tried to physically take him to one of their meetings, he refused to be moved. Told his mom & dad he had been studying God's word and He knew it was the right path to take. Please keep him in prayer. I believe for his whole family to come to the Lord.

  I believe this year 2007  (7 being the # of completeness) we will see many victories, miracles of salvation & healing, answers to prayers you may have prayed for years. Jesus said when the enemy comes in like a flood he will raise the standard against him. Let us be careful to not be deceived by the false miracles. News reports told of the government being worried over some figure that is calling himself Jesus and miracles are following him. Jesus reminds us over and over they will come in His name, and we should not believe in them. Remember Jesus will first come in the clouds, before He comes back to set his feet on the Mt of Olives.

How I love all of you and Thank you with all my heart for your gifts to this ministry.

 May God Bless you is my prayer.

In Christ's Love,

April 2007 Newsletter

We can face tomorrow. Isn't this a wonderful time of the year. Everything is coming alive and we stop to celebrate the  Resurrection of our Dear Savior. I have such sweet memories of taking all my children to Sunrise Services. They were all dressed up and it was a true time of worship and Thanksgiving unto God. Even more so as we began to understand the real meaning of the celebration of Easter. Had it not been for the tomb being empty we would not have a Gospel that was different than any other gospel of any other religion. Oh but he did and because he arose we to can be partakers in the next resurrection “1 Thess. 4: 16, 17 (For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, 1. with a shout, 2. with the voice of the archangel and 3. with the trump of God. The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Wherefore comfort one another with these words Our heart ache's when we think of the many that are taking the broad road that leads to destruction. That is why we labor sometimes day and night spreading this wonderful news of the Risen Savior to the lost.

Thank you, Thank You for helping us. Sometimes it is a long lonely road and then out of the blue God blesses in such a way to let you know he is thinking of you and knows right where you are. I told you in the last letter of the nice Navajo couple who bought my lunch. I was bringing Sister Lulu back from Albuquerque and thought it would be nice to stop and buy her lunch. Of course it had to be El Bruno's. When we went in three ladies were seated at a table and began to talk to me and befriend us. Lulu speaks no English. In a few minutes the waitress comes over and tells me those ladies have just bought your lunches. I went to town Friday and when I went in to have my lunch. MY nephew had given me coupons for the Red Lobster and I thought I would use the coupons. I was just enjoying my dinner when a waiter came and sat down at my table just talking friendly, and then he said I want to tell you the couple behind you has just paid for your meal. This could not have been coincidence; it has to be a blessing from God. He is so good! (ALL THE TIME).

Marcey is seated at the computer where she spent most of her time the short time they were here. The Lord was so good to keep lots of snow on the ground so the children Caleb, Joshua and Jarred could play. Jarred is Marcey' sister-in-law Mary's son who came to tend the children while Marcey worked on the books. We are so thankful for all who help in so many different ways.

  We had a wonderful time in Arkansas. We arrived Friday night, and then went to breakfast at 8 am. We had a full day going to Old Washington, then to Max and Roberta's Okay Ranch in the evening for food, fellowship and the biggest bonfire you have ever seen. New Life Church just blessed and blessed our Indians. They are still speaking of their trip. They would just like to take a longer one next time.

  I had the pleasure of dedicating the lovely baby born to Frandale and Wonda Segay Sunday. Our Tuesday night services have been small, yet oh so sweet. We are doing a lot of singing and praising the Lord.

  Lucy Begay and I drove down for a weekend ladies meeting, ( the Aglow at Gloreitta.) It was a wonderful time of good information, teaching, encouragement and a call to prayer for ladies all over the world.

  I had the pleasure of dedicating the lovely baby born to Frandale and Wonda Charley Segay a few weeks ago.  Sunday Morning Frandale came forward for prayer for his parents. I wept as I prayed for this young Christian. All of his family is deep in the Native American Religion. Pray with us that these strong holds can be broken and these people set free to worship the only true and living God.

• Please begin to pray fervently for our VBS and all ministry teams coming this summer. How I thank you for your prayers for my daughter. Please continue to pray and thank God for her complete healing.

• Pray for my grandson Hunter that everything in his body will begin to function the way God created it to. Pray that the Navajo Christians will get on fire for Jesus and begin to (go & tell) the good news to their people. Pray that God will send us all the help we need to have a powerful and more effective ministry for HIM here in Lybrook NM. As the enemy comes in like a flood that we will have many laborers here lifting up the standard of Jesus.

We praise the Lord for he has answered so many of our prayers. Thank you to all of who send your prayer request. We do take them to the Throne Room and praise God when they are answered for you.

The 13 year old boy was found safe and unharmed! Praise Jesus!

Remember whatever you face today. Nothing is impossible with God.

Love you and thank you for your prayers and support as we work together for his Kingdom.

Dear Friends of mine and Jesus,
I like the song "He calls me friend", but I'm more than HIS friend, I'm his daughter, and I like that position better.
Praise the lord, it is a beautiful day, a little cold but pleasant. The birds are everywhere singing their lovely songs, little rabbits running here and there. I even saw a daffodil peeking its head through some left over snow. Don't we love spring.
Our lives are filled with seasons.
When it looks like winter will never end, and things are getting worse everyday, that is when we praise the Lord more and more.

Like David when he spoke to his soul and said, "magnify the Lord."  David had learned that every battle coming his way would not be won by anything he did but by the glorious power and help of our mighty God . I remind myself daily to stand firm in my faith in Jesus. Man will try to discourage you and destroy your faith but don't ever give up.

God never ceases to amaze me with the things He does.
Deborah has been busy with Wondor. (Praise the Lord Wondor's baby girl has arrived on time)  Mother & baby are home from the hospital and it remains yet to be seen if grandmother Deborah is just going to have to be even busier with the new baby.
Last Tuesday, I wondered what we would do, since Deborah was not available to open the food room. Then, out of the blue, I receive a phone call. It was someone I had not seen or heard from in a good while, they wanted to know what they could come and help with. Dorthy and two other young Navajo girls from Kenneth Trujillo's Church came over and worked with us also. We gave away lots of clothes and food that day. Isn't that just like the Lord to send us what we need when we need it.

 While on my weekly visit to town, I was having lunch, when a nice Navajo couple I'd not seen in a few years recognized me and came to my table to visit. We visited for quite some time, then when they got up to leave they took my ticket and bought my dinner. I was really blessed.
We miss Shane, but we are  thankful he has a job now. He is working at Applebee's. We see him at church and he loves his job.
Joy is recovering from surgery on her nose. She is back teaching the students.
 
The Indians are so faithful to give testimonies and Sunday was very special. I was beginning to think I would have to make my message short since so many were getting up to testify.   One dear lady began, she said she did not understand why her people (The Navajo) were not going to other places proclaiming the Gospel. I understood what she was saying, because they go out, but on such a short scale. Not many ever go to evangelize even in their own neighborhoods. She spoke of how the white man has been coming to them for so long. I was so thankful when it came my time to speak, I could say "well you have four who will be going into Arkansas with me to praise and worship God with their music and to preach the word of God." I love taking them into other states where they can share their love of God and meet other Christians. They are always encouraged and lifted up and the people where they go are always lifted up also. One day we will have many missionaries rise up from our Navajo. This will be an answer to people who see their need to be sharing the wonderful news the missionaries have brought to them. 

Our Prayer Request
Please continue to pray for my daughter Myra, for complete healing. She had to change Dr's. Pray that God will give this Dr wisdom as he guided the other one, or God will lead her to another Doctor and her healing process will not at all be interrupted. She is doing really well and so thrilled that her hair is growing back.
We had much damage to the Dome this winter, some small, some not so small.
Pray God will send us the workers we need to repair all the things. The roofers, the plumbers, the carpenters, the painters, the cleaners, maintenance crew. Along with some real good cooks.
Pray for all of our Vacation Bible School workers and students, also the summer missionaries that will be joining us soon.

In Christ's Love,

Lazelle

December Happenings

Many things happened here in December, I'll try and highlight the events.

December 2, we had our first wedding in the New Chapel. It was beautiful. I joined Wonda Charley and Frandel Segay in Holy Matrimony. Today another Navajo came by and and we are planning her wedding for April. She told me she thought it was time for them to start being a good example because everybody was just 'shacking up'. I certainly agreed with her.
Then for the next two weeks Shane, Deborah, and several Navajo's from DZ and the Counselor area came in and helped.  We worked hard getting gifts ready bagging candies and fruits and getting ready for our big Christmas Service. The Lord knowing we were still not quite ready sent Buyck & Jan McGowan. They always seem to put the cherry on the top by helping us bring everything together for these big events. Brenda Trambel and her husband came from Alamogordo and brought a truck loaded with clothing and gifts. Brenda is a very special person too and they were great help. We had 200 or more in our chapel and had a wonderful time Celebrating & worshiping Our King. Seeing the faces of the children and the thank you from many adults was worth all the effort we had put into preparing for one special day.

There is another special day coming. The day Jesus takes us to the place He is preparing for us.
He said: in John 14 "I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you surely I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am there you may be also."   THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE GIFTS, MONEY, FOOD EVERYTHING YOU DID TO ALLOW  US TO BE YOUR HANDS EXTENDED.   We also served our 200 guest a good dinner.

Our last day of school was Dec 22 and I went home to spend a few days with my children in Louisiana & Texas. It was wonderful. I have a good praise report for my daughter Myra. She has finished her six-7 hour chemo treatments. They ran all the tests over and she is progressing great. The spot was less than half the size. All her blood work and other tests were good. She will continue with small treatments over an 18 month period. God is healing her and it is so good to hear my other children speak with such words of faith. We are rejoicing and thanking God daily for her healing. THANK EVERYONE FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

I was visited by Buddy & Jan Greer and Cameron and Charlotte Hudson while in Louisiana. They told me of all the wood they have labored to cut up for us. We just desperately need a big truck or truck with large trailer to bring it out. We could certainly use some of it and then give some away Wood is like gold out here.

Happy New Year

Here we are already in a New Year. It is always exciting to be able to kinda start allover again.

I want to enter this year with:

1. Excitement, Joshua & Caleb when they began to enter the land of Canaan They had no doubt. They saw a land filled with milk and honey (blessings From The Most High God) His only requirement OBEY ME DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO. (KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS) Remember there is never any giant to big for our Jesus.

2. Expecting: Acts 3: 5 and he gave heed unto them expecting to receive from them. This man was looking for a little change maybe to buy a loaf of bread, but because he was expecting something he received much more than he could ever have imagined.

3. Witnessing: Mark 5: 19 Jesus said; go home and tell your friends. Over and over in the scripture he reminds us to go tell. Remember we overcome the devil by the Blood of the Lamb and Our Testimonies.

Just a few words here today to say OH HOW I THANK YOU to all who have stood with us through good times and bad. I am believing along with many other Saints of God for a very good year 2007 a perfect number in Gods calendar. Here at Christ for all Nations we have watched visions be born and die. God is reminding me unless a seed is planted and dies it can not live again. We have a beautiful example in the resurrected power of Jesus Christ. Expect to hear great things happening here at CFAN this year. In your on life expect great things to happen as you serve Jesus.

Our Newsletter will be late as our internet carrier has closed their doors and we are in the process of getting another. Will send our new e-mail address as soon as we have one.

We did have a wonderful Christmas with our Navajo because of you all. And again I say God Bless you and--Thank~you for your faithful support. ­This could be the year our SAVIOUR COMES. Our world has never before been in such turmoil. Let us labor together while there is still time and keep our eyes on the hope that awaits us in that PROMISED LAND.

In His great Love

KESHMISH HOZOOGO (Merry Christmas)

It is almost Christmas and a time to let special people in our lives know how much we love and appreciate them.

You are some of those people. You help make CFAN a place of refuge and hope for many. You keep us busy year round doing wonderful things in The Name of Jesus. Oh What a Name. What a pleasure to serve HIM.

I love Christmas time and I will never let what men try to do with all the commercializing and everything else to take away the wonderful feelings I have in my heart so filled with Thanksgiving for The One who left heavens glory and came to earth to bring Salvation, Love, Joy and Peace to all who will receive Him.

CFAN NEWS

Randy Carruth brought a group of men and women. They helped Bill finish his project on the lovely Baptist church. They will dedicate it in the spring.

Bill moved home to be with his family.

Shane is a dear blessing and lots of help.

Buddy and Jan Greer brought us a load of good wood all the way from Louisiana. They were here to help us prepare for thanksgiving.

My daughter and family Leah, Danny, Drew & Daniel and two of my sons Ray and Bobby came and spent Thanksgiving with me. It was so good having them here.

Today the school children helped bag candies. Our fruit & nuts will be the last thing. We have to wait till the week of our service to purchase that.

Join us in prayer that as we give the word, sing praises to our Lord and give presents to all, that they will see the love of Jesus and desire him with all their heart.

Thank you for your prayers for my daughter Myra. She is responding well to her treatments and we continue to pray and believe for a complete healing to her whole body. HAVE A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS

Happy Thanksgiving To Our Friends in Jesus.                                                                                                           

 We have so much to be thankful for.

We all have each other. We are one. When you hurt, I hurt. When you rejoice, I rejoice. I know some who will receive this letter today are hurting. My prayer for you is that ministering Angels will enter your room and bring comfort in whatever your need is. I pray you will be so aware of  The Holy Spirit, who is in you and is with you. He is there with you now and is in you. How comforting to always know God is concerned about everything that concerns us. His very thoughts toward us are more than the sand by the sea. We cannot comprehend this, but by faith life is so sweet when we accept and believe it. It matters not how big your mountain is today. It is not too high for our God to climb. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.

Winter arrived with a little sprinkle of snow. We have our big snows generally Dec and January. Today a little ice mixed with rain is falling.

It has been another busy month. Sunday night a Pastor from Lordsburg NM visited our church ( CWC.)   They spent the night with us. He ministers to Dan Tsosie where he is in jail. He brought a wonderful report about Dan. Dan will be out soon and is trying to get into Joshua House, this is the ministry in Oklahoma which I told about in my last letter. It would be great for him to go there. Please join us in prayer that our request will be granted and the judge allows him to go for 6 months.

Praise Report:
Bro Bill will have to leave in a few days. His work on the church is finished and his family needs him at home. He is the one helping in the school.

Can you believe the goodness of God? A lady called and said I want to come talk to you. She came, we talked, she is a retired school teacher from Ace School and will be joining us as our school administrator. Thank and Praise God  for this victory. We still need lots of workers but we are believing God for them.

Visitors:
Richard and Dot Sarver, House of Blessings Leesville , La. It was such a pleasant surprise when they called and told me they were coming out. Faithful supporters and friends for years, this was there first time to CFAN. They were here on a Tuesday night which is the night we have our Service. Two drunk men came to our door wanting a ride home. Randy and all his great group were frying catfish and I told the men if they would stay for service I would take them home. They enjoyed catfish with all of us thanks to Randy and his group of workers who had come out to help Bill finish up on the Baptist Church.   Then Bro Richard brought a timely message for all. One of the men was so into the service and had tears in his eyes. Several stayed and talked with Richard I know they were touched and ministered to and have been encouraged to believe life can be good for them.

It would not be CFAN unless you have something spectacular for Show & Tell when you went home.  We decided to go see the beautiful new church for  "I Am Able Ministry", that Bill has worked so hard on.. The sun had been shining that day and it was dry and lovely.  I was driving Dot & Richard, when out of no where a big mud-hole appeared. We had to wonder where the water came from. After much inspection of the road we decided to try it. Bro Richard told me to put my foot down hard and not let up. You better believe I got stuck. Dot got some priceless pictures of Richard freezing, barefooted, and with his pants rolled up, gathering sage brush to put under the wheels and digging in the mud and dirt. After much labor he got under the wheel and got us out. Thank the Lord he didn't get sick. Then Richatrd & Dot invited   me to Albuquerque to a wonderful Seminar, and paid all my expenses. I was filled both spiritually & physically, such that I can truly say my cup runneth over.

 Then our dear Beverly Poole came. We had such a good time. H. J was not physically able to make the trip. She saw that gifts for  Christmas were delivered to us from her church. When she & H J used to come often they made wonderful friends. Some have not been serving the Lord. She ministered to them and was able to get one young couple to take her to church. They had not been in a long time. Hopefully now they will see their need to get back into the Lord's service. I know the Lord looked down and laughed with us two old grand maws trying to wait on each other. We still do pretty good. God has promised us strength for our days. That our strength will be renewed as the Eagle. I'm looking and watching and expecting that.

Casino's, please stay away from them The devil has come to steal, kill and destroy.

We had two sisters recently killed on their way to a casino. I was just informed of another set of sisters, who on their way to a casino were both killed in a car accident also.

 Pray for the family of  Opal Coleman. She was my sister – in – law . She passed away Monday Oct. 12 she has one son Jerry Frank , two sisters, Eunice and Rosie.

Continue to pray for my grandson Jeremy.

Thank all of you  for your prayers for my daughter Myra she is responding really good to her treatments. We continue to believe she is being healed. Prayer & faith mixed together is the greatest power on earth.

 Many were disappointed with the election results. Let’s not be.

We are commissioned to pray for all in authority. Pray for God's will to be done in each life and decision being made by each newly elected official.

God has everything under control and I'm sure all is working together so that the prophetic time line of God, not man will be fulfilled.

I will take the liberty here to copy a small peice of an article I just received.

"As believers we are neither republicans or Democrats—We are Monarchist awaiting the coming of our King. While we wait we must fight for the values we uphold in a climate that's becoming more hostile to these values everyday. That means supporting anyone we find who espouses them and not supporting those who don't."

We have become to comfortable with the ways of the world. Remember we are suppose to be in the world, but not of the world. For those with one foot in the world and one foot in The Kingdom, the next little while might be pretty frustrating since it will require increasing levels of compromise.

It is long past time for us to quit depending on our paychecks, our government, even our constitution for our security and start looking to the author and perfecter or finisher of our faith again. He is the only one you can neither leave nor lose. He is the only one who is faithful and true. And He is the only one who has promised to see to our needs. Even so come Lord Jesus.

Our Christmas Service will be Dec. 15 th 7 PM

Pray for us. I know we will have plenty because of you who have so generously given .

Thank You, 

Lazelle Powell

Dear Saints

Truly everyday with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.

I have wonderful news concerning my daughter MYRA. We took her to Dallas to a doctor who was highly recommended to my other daughter. After running many tests on her the doctor said they could treat Myra and she should be able to live a normal life. The first treatment is over and she is doing well. How we thank you for your prayers. We know God has heard and is answering them. When Myra was in high school she always took her Bible with her to school. She was very much in love with Jesus. She had lost her ­first love and did not serve him any more. The one thing her illness has done is bought her back to the Lord. She never stops talking about Him, now both her and her husband have become His witnesses. Praise the Lord! 

I did not return to New Mexico in time to do much advertising for The Feast. But praise the Lord it was one of the best Feasts we have ever had. That is the statement made by Buyck McGowan and he and Jan have been to nearly every Feast. I don't think we could manage one without them. They know exactly what to do. They always bring a wonderful word and Jan blesses us with her songs. All of the Navajo's look forward to the barbecued sausage, brisket and pork they bring from Texas. Of course I do too. It is delicious. Larry Hamm, his wife Tamara & their Pastor Doug Lott bought beautiful praise and worship. They ministered th word along with another wonderful couple God brought into our life. Pastor Cornelious and Deborah Perez. They were at CFNI and met my son Ray. He told them about The Feast and they actually called the airlines and  changed the date of departure back to Singa­pore, so they could come. They serve as missionaries in Singapore. We were so blessed by the messages they all brought and their fellowship. The words spoken so often those days were by divine appointment and we all knew that it was true. Eleven of our Christ For The Nations alumni showed up during the days of celebration. The next day two more graduates came by. Delores Paas brought a very current news update concerning Israel and our need to pray without ceasing for Israel and America. Pray that Israel will see Gods hand at work and put their trust in HIM. We look forward knowing Our God is up to something good for CFAN and all the surrounding area even all of NM.

Pastor Rena Todacheene and Tulley Butler brought messages in English and Navajo. They are among our most dedicated Navajo ministers.

Pastor Doug and Larry have a ministry to Alcoholics and drug abusers. They do a marvelous job of rehabilitating these people. They bought some of the men with them and what a great help they were. Tamara’s mother and father came also they had the hardest job of all. They cooked and served everyday. I tried to get them to stay on forever. Mike Padok joined us with his lovely voice. Kathy, Nikki and Barbara former CFNI students also shared testimonies along with several of our Navajo. We did have a blessed time of fellowship.

Then to put the cream on top; I was casually telling Bro Cornelius about The Ten Commandment Stone in Los tunas and he said let’s go see it. I've desired to go every since I heard of it. I thought it might involve a lot to get a permit. We prayed doors would open and we could go. Praise God He heard us again. The permit was easy to get.

The walk and climb was not so easy but praise the Lord and the help of Buyck & Cornelius we all made it up the mountain. We have pictures to show you. We had a precious time. We took communion and prayed and prophesied over NM.

Another good report. When I arrived back from Texas it was time to start school and no teacher. Bro. Bill who has been here about a year, building a church back on the reservation, surprised me. He and said, “I'll help out a few hours in the morning before I go to work.” He has been a God Send. Shane is back with me, so the three of us, none whom are schoolteachers, are teaching four children. Another student is to start Monday. I could not turn Lori’s mother down when she said, we will not put Lori in school if she can’t come here. She said can’t you just home school her? Praise the Lord I know God is going to send us a real teacher but I am so thankful for the help I have now.

I can’t close this without saying another thank you to David and Christy Kanagy and their wonderful group that came and helped in so many ways to get things ready for Celebrating The Feast Days.

I was doubly blessed to have my son Ray for a whole week. He brought lots of clothes and food for the pantry. He was my “honey do” for a few days. He is blessing to me.

Please keep praying for a full time teacher.

CFAN & those who will be joining us this year.

 Why Stand With Israel:

Have your church to join the thousands of churches throughout America to pray for Israel on October 1^st.

We could well be the people of the last hour in history. We are called by God to not despise prophecy, to pray, intercede, to do Kingdom business until he comes. (Luke 19: 13) Scripture declares that all nations will turn against Israel. We are seeing this today.

Every believer is charged to make the Jew priority in our lives and to render thanksgiving from our hearts for Gods word and Gods work through them to us as a people. God has made them priority in His life. He chose a man, Abraham, and said that through his seed all nations of the earth would be blessed. He fulfilled this promise through Isaac, Abraham's Son.

In Genesis 12:3 the Lord says in the covenant he makes with Abraham; " I will bless those who bless you I will curse those who curse you." (Romans 9:4) "Who are the Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises of whom according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God." Amen

THE ADOPTION: God's divine choice of the seed of Abraham as a people.

THE GLORY: The manifest presence of God revealing himself.

THE COVENANTS: commitments that God makes.

             1.   The Abrahamic Covenant: God says, "I will give you a people and a land, and through this seed                  the nations of the earth will be blessed."

      2.   The mosaic Covenant the revelation of the law, given as a teaching means to lead us to Christ; redemption,   through the blood of the Iamb.

      3.  The New Covenant: In Jeremiah and Ezekiel, God says in words almost parallel: "I will put my law in their minds      and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people."

 The Greatest Gift:

God so loved that he gave His only begotten Son. He gave Him through the Jews, Jesus told the Samaritan Women, "Salvation is of the Jews." We are now dealing with the roots of everything that has to do with the revelation of God to mankind. The proof of this is the very existence of the Jews as a people and the fact they have been recovered as a nation. In the year 70 and again 135 the Roman Empire put down Jewish revolts in Judea, destroying Jerusalem and sending hundreds of thousands of Jews into slavery & exile. Today they are building a Jewish Army. the first in 2000 years; they survived three great wars the first in 1948-49, 1967 and 1973. When you receive the Lord you become a Jew by adoption. (Romans 2:28-29; Gal 3:26­29)(Lev. 25:23; Deut. 32:43; 2Chron 7:20; Ps 85: 1-2 Isaiah 8:8; Jeremiah 2:7; Ez 38: 16; Joel 1:6; 2: 18; 3:2; Hosea 9:3; Zero 9: 16) Israel is:

        I.    A tiny piece of property that God has made pronouncements about.

2.   God's people to whom he has given the land. This is a major issue with our creator and it is non-negotiable. The land belongs to God and has been covenanted to Abraham and his off spring through Isaac forever.

The forces opposed to Israel are not simply people who don't like the Jews. These are forces greater than humanity. They are spiritual forces, they will never be overthrown politically or by persuasion; they can only be broken by intercessory prayer where principalities and powers are cast down. The same spirit driving these animosities is equally opposed to Christians as to Jews and in time will eventually bring persecution to both. Just as scripture states there are two witnesses that will be put to death in Jerusa­lem. At the very end (Revelation II: 1-12) there have been two groups of witnesses that have stood for God throughout history. The Jew and the Christian.

August 2006 Newsletter

My heart was saddened as I ministered to an elderly Navajo lady today. She is a beautiful Christian whom I've known for many years. It was hard to believe the anguish, torment and fears she has been going through for so long. She said, her brother had moved into her home some years ago. He was a medicine man. He was old and not well and went from her home to a nursing home where he passed away. His children moved his things out of her house leaving one item, which they did not want to fool with. They told her to just leave it there. It was in a flour sack hanging on a nail in the ceiling. They all knew he was a medicine man and superstition made them not want to touch it. I don't know how long this thing has tormented her. Some of her friends just found out about it and they came for me. She said it would sing and argue with her. She would argued back with it all hours of the night and have horrible dreams or night­mares. She had asked other ministers and lay people to tell her what to do and they just said leave it alone. No one wanted to touch it.
Well needless to say. I went to the lady’s house, prayed for her, took the flour sack with it's object inside, down from the ceiling and threw it outside. We prayed and cleared the house from all evil spirits. I did look into the sack and a leather pouch was in there. l knew this would be a medicine mans paraphernalia. Myself along with two of my Navajo friends. Rosita and Stanley, took it outside and burned it. This lady cried and cried tears of joy praying and praising God this thing would not bother her anymore. As I come home all could think of was Isaiah 14: 16 (Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble). In other words. Look at him (speaking of the devil ) he is nothing, and has to bow at the name of Jesus. We have all authority over him through Jesus blood, name, The Holy Spirit and His word. I cringe to think how a silly object in a flour sack can bring such torment tot a person.
Now whether you choose to believe in evil spirits or not, One thing for is sure, I live among a nation of people who live in constant fear and agony because they strongly believe in these things. Many are Christians but they do not know “Resist Satan and he will flee from you.” How can they know without teachers?

Our needs:
A TEACHER! OUR CHILDREN WILL BE SO DISSAPOINTED IF WE HAVE TO SAY, SORRY NO SCHOOL THIS YEAR. I DONT BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT GOD WANTS.

Are you the one who is suppose to come? I have to believe for a teacher.

Good News:

The lady we mentioned at the beginning of the letter came over and gave a wonderful testimony. She is sleeping peacefully now in her home. No more visits from the devil.

Please don't forget to pray for our Nation, Our president and leaders, and that no pressure will ever make the U.S withdraw help from Israel. Pray for Israel Pray for our children who have to attend public schools today. That teachers will stand for truth and godliness in the classrooms and will refuse to teach the things that are opposite the word of God. Let’s Keep our young people covered in prayer.

Pray these will come before winter:

We need a good plumber, to fix the pipes that freeze in our schoolroom bathrooms.

Someone to check and see everything is winterized.

Gravel our roads from the Dome downhill.

Some plumbing repair to our icemaker.

Someone to come out and oversee the roofing of the Dome. It would be good to have this done before winter.

We will need to put up some fencing around the new building. None of these are major but they are much needed.

Pray for Our Navajo Pastors and Churches, I see growth in many especially at Christian Worship Center. We are growing in number and in The Spirit.. Some at Nageezi are becoming stronger. There is still much strife in their community.

We have a few newcomers on Tuesday night. When groups come in we go pick up. One lady commented (It is so good to come back and see all our family.) They have such good fellowship when they come together here.

Visitors:
Melvin and Lisa Knox. They are such a nice couple. They would be a blessing here, but like others they need a miracle at their home to be able to come.

Daniel Bedgood, I had a great visit with my grandson. He did not stay long enough. One of his most enjoyable days was spent playing softball with the Navajo. I found out he is a good ball player.

Harvest Time Assembly Murfreesboro Arkansas.
Bro Shinn's messages began the trend that went through each group encouraging all Christians to rise up and become praisers and servants. (DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO OLD TO DO ANY THING FOR THE LORD?) Some older ladies always come with this group and they amaze me. One is 82 years young and teaches the youth. Their VBS lessons were based on standing up for Christ, Obeying his word, Getting ready (this is preparing yourself to be a witness) then standing strong.
The Holy Spirit gave us a special visit on Tuesday night as they led us in praise and worship. I always look forward to fresh vegetables and good garden foods as well as the great spiritual food when Murfreesboro comes.

Mary Alice Moore and her wonderful group from Nashville Arkansas, what a joy it has been to watch some of these youth mature over the years. Mesha amazed me with the devotions she had so carefully put together. They would read the scripture their lesson was based on for the day then each one shared what it was saying to them. Most devotions ended in tears of joy as the scripture came so alive in each heart. The whole group seemed so eager to obey authority and quickly rose to do anything an elder asked. I know the heart of God is that Christians who have just sat on a church pew for years would rise up and take their place in the sharing of the Gospel. Mary Alice's messages were also geared in that direction. She was able to bring a peace and understanding to some that were so confused. They minis­tered night and day in VBS and cooked gourmet meals. They brought me close to a bushel of peaches, tomatoes and cucumbers. Wow, we are always so grateful.

The Holts, Jay & Lisa from Lawrenceville Baptist Church, This is another group that has built good relations at the Kimbeto Church. Bro Jay ministered in revival and mornings were filled ministering in VBS. All of these people amaze me. I've watched this church come from not even knowing how to have a VBS and today they could go on the road teach­ing churches. I am so thankful for the years of experience I received at Sardis Baptist Church, God prepared me to bring it to the Navajo Nation and today most any church you walk into in a 50 mile radius, you will see a banner, flags or something we have placed there mostly through YBS. Lawrenceville Church took us on a trip to Hawaii in their school. They had a wonderful youth group. They sang and did sign songs and brought the word alive to the children.

Upper Room from Columbia, Ohio led by Greg and Marta Acres. was another big blessing. When they arrived we used plastic tablecloths and towels along with buckets to catch the water from bad leaks in the Dome. Praise the Lord they climbed up there fixed the roof then-worked on my roof and three Navajo roofs. Then they built a wheelchair ramp on a house. The youth and Marta surprised us all with the yard work they did digging ditches and moving big rocks, cleaning and cooking. Then at night they became this awesome band ministering in the churches. Their bands name is Yadah, which is a Hebrew word for praise. Greg taught using lots of visual aids, which made his message so clear.

Throughout this summer ministry there has been salvations and rededications as The Precious Word of God has gone in so many directions. Oh How I thank every person that came to minister to our Navajo. You bring light into their very dark days. You encourage them and bring them hope. They remember you all year and speak of you often.

God Bless You

VISITORS

First United Methodist Church from Lindstrom Minn. came and what a blessing they were. Craig, Mike &

Razz took a group of men to Lucy & Lorenzo's and built a much-needed room on their house. They showed their appreciation by Lucy letting everyone choose something from her craft items to take home with them. The ladies and youth with Jessie and Bonnie overseeing them did a super job in the Dome and around the mission. Their major project was painting the inside of the Dome. Andre did a super job in the downstairs bathroom; it is very modem and lovely. Bonnie brought wonderful devotions every morning, challenging everyone to be more like Jesus. The youth were so precious. They lead music together each morning and at the Churches we attended they sang, played their instruments and did Drama's. What an excellent job they did. The beauty of their ministry showed as they worshiped Our Lord rather than just entertaining.

My Grandson Daniel spent a month with me. I did not want to see him go home. Each morning I awoke to thank the Lord he was here. I wish all my grandchildren would come spend some time with me. They are very special gifts from God. How I long to impart some of me into each one of them.

Sandie along with her too sons Richard and Michael came from Colorado to help wherever needed. Their friends Lance, Lisa, Corey then Daniel, Angie and Shanna joined them. This was an amazing group they worked together in much unity. Shanna, 15, is a little prophetess. That is I what I see in her. Corey, you will be hearing about him. He is a Christian Country singer. His parents travel with him in Concert all over the Nation. Seventeen years of age, he has such a sweet humble spirit which makes him special. You can pick up his recordings from Lamon Records or @ www .corvbrooksministries.com

You can also pick up a recording from the group I my grandson Blake Powell plays with @ www.sonicbids.com.  (just a little plug from grandmother)

PRAY FOR TEACHERS & WORKERS FOR CFAN

The Beautiful Cross was a big surprise the Lindstrom Methodist Church brought. I was inquisitive as to what was in their big packages and they were so cute trying to keep me from finding Out what it was until they had it put up.

PRAYER REQUEST

We must have teachers and workers. I am now praying for four couples and then more than enough extra

helpers to do all that God has laid on my heart. Please join me in this prayer. I know when the right people come and The Gospel (The POWER of God unto salvation.) is presented over and over again. We are going to see prayers answered and many come to Jesus.

Pray for Melvin & Lisa Knox. A precious couple who came this month and helped do many things. They are seriously praying about coming to join us here at CFAN, they would be a blessing. Melvin had wanted to come out for years. God confirmed this was his perfect time to come. Please pray daily for Our President, Our Country. Israel. Navajo Nation. our Churches and me.

So much has gone on and is going on. God is alive and well in Lybrook, and all over the world.

I am hearing marvelous answers to prayers. Prayers that I've been privileged to pray along with others for probably 50 years. Please don't give up continue to pray and believe God will answer your prayers. He really is supernatural, the miracle God.

The things that have been happening out here only Our Miracle God could do.

We thank God for Ken and Jonn’s time with us here.

 June 3^rd, We graduated four students. Our new building was full to capacity. The service was wonderful. Several came up asking if they could come take their GED. The students all so shy yet they gave a little speech trembling then presented their mom's with a rose and a kiss in appreciation. How we appreciate the parents that stand behind their children encouraging them. The message was centered around “Nothing Is Impossible.”

Phil: 4: 13 Set your goals high, trusting in Jesus to bring them to pass.

PLEASING THE MASTER

Everyone needs to be born again, repent & Be filled with The Holy Spirit.

We need to turn from our sins. Get rid of all bad thought patterns by renewing our mind. Rom 12:2, Get into good Bible Study, Come to know God more through lots of prayer & communion with Him. David the psalmist cried out to God over and over again. "Teach me thy ways that I might not sin against thee."

" Teach me thy paths, Lead me in thy truths."

We need to ask ourselves are we still dead or have we become alive? Dead men can be carried around anywhere good or bad places. Live men have a choice. We have freedom.

Jesus died to set us free. We are in a physical war with terrorist. They want to control our soul and body. They want every knee to bow to them and worship their leaders and their god. We are in spiritual war with a serial killer (as one minister put it). He wants to destroy our spirit, soul and body in Hell.

I just watched Perry Stone as he stated. "Sadam Hussein did have weapons of mass destruction and they were transported to Syria in commercial airlines before the search began. Even the government has now acknowledged they have them.

What if they place biological warfare in the rockets they are now sending up? Are we ready for these things to happen? Gas to go to $4 or $5, Postage stamps to rise again in January?

Are we among those who can sit in front of our TV and watch all the shows that lift up and laugh at homosexuals & lesbians as they make fun of God, and programs that take his name in vain? God help us if we are. The word says, "The day will come when they will not blush at sin." We are in that day.

How can we please God? I do believe we can it all would turn our TV's off and spend most of our days either talking to God or letting him talk to us through his word.

Through slowing down from all the pleasure the world has to offer and doing the things he likes for his children to do. Ask yourself the question, Do my children know more about things of the world or things of God? The world has nothing everlasting to offer us. In Him we live and breathe, without Him we are nothing. (Dead stumps) We were created to bring Him pleasure. Are we bringing Him pleasure or just always thinking of ways to please ourselves?

I'm not against TV but we need to learn how to control the amount and the programs that come into our home.

THOUGHT I'D PASS ON MY SERMON FOR THE MONTH

Here it is the middle of June, May passed so quickly I hardly new what month it was. The dedication was lovely. It was busy, but God sent exactly whom we needed to keep everything going smooth. All of our wonderful Board Members attended, except Clifford & Bookie Baker. The Bakers, who are my sister and Brother in Law, are not well and could not make the long trip. We had a Board meeting and invited Brian and Marcey Whatley, and Buddy and Jan Greer to become board members. They graciously accepted.

During the Dedication, we had several speakers, including each board member. Each person built on what the others shared. The Holy Spirit’s presence filled the place. Brother Tommy Nunn from Dallas was one of our speakers. He shared a beautiful word, when he finished Ray said, "Mother, last night, in my dreams, I saw that man giving that same message to you." I wish we had recorded the messages. Some of his words were as follows: This would be a place of holiness, where many people would come and their lives would be changed.

Fran Roland's wife, son, daughter and their families joined us for the dedication. We were blessed to have them with us. Brother Terry Beatty spoke of the many people who had come from near and very far away to work on the building. Many sacrifices made of their time and money. The dormitory rooms were lovely and comfortable. I kept thinking of Fran's word to me the night before he went to be with Jesus. He said, "I have to bring Mary Ann out here, it is just like being at an Old Fashioned Camp Meeting." Praise God that’s what we had. An old Fashioned Camp meeting and it was so enjoyable, everyone was saying we will have to make this an annual event I pray we can do that and many of you can join us. Each speaker added to and confirmed what the other speakers had said. There was great emphasis put on the importance of much prayer in our lives today.

The Greer's did and excellent job decorating the Louisiana room. We are still working on some of the other rooms. Jan McGowan decorated the meeting room and other rooms with her very special touch, then her and Buck stayed on to help us get ready for the graduation. Buyck blessed us with lots of his special barbecue.

We ordained Rena Todacheene. Lankford Moore encouraged and charged her with his message. Sunday morning she shared how blessed she was to be ordained and how serious she took her calling. She carries a heavy burden for her people. There are such wonderful people in this world.

 I was surprised when they presented me with a beautiful Bronze Plaque, it even had my picture on it. Then I was presented an envelope with lots of money in it from many of you. I was going to deposit it in the mission account, but Marcey was present, she stopped me and said that is for you, just for you. Again I was very surprised but happy and blessed and OH! How I thank everyone who made all this possible. The beautiful building made for the Lord's service. The extra funds sent by many of you, which made the meeting so precious. I will not try to name all that came, I am grateful that you did. I know you left blessed and you were a blessing to us. Everyone was cleaning and helping.

 Ken and Joan did and excellent job serving breakfast to everyone here. Then at lunch and dinner we invited some of our Navajo's to come cook and sell their food to us, it worked out so good. None of our guest or staff had to stay in the kitchen and miss any services. We closed the food lines in time for everyone to go inside.

 I have so many people to thank this month. I won't try to send thank you's or even write on each newsletter as I have been doing. I just want you to know you are so appreciated!

This ministry, this work is very hard and when we hear from you in any way and know that you are with us, we are not doing this alone, you can't imagine how it lifts us up and makes us keep going another day.

 Thank you for extra funds sent to help out with food, staff, the Plaque, personal moneys. Thank you for everything! Every morning lately as I have had my devotions, I seem to find more and more scriptures concerning helping the poor. I remember when God first began to 1ay this on my heart and we were so poor. My sister gave me most of the clothes my children wore. I took good care of them and I would take boxes full of clothing and anything I could find and give to other poor families. I will have to say, as the scripture (Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness) became so alive in me, I saw God as he began to bless us untold. I was not seeking him for what he would give me, I fell desperately in love with Him and wanted everything I did to please Him. I saw Him honor his word as our lifestyle began to change so fast, often it would frighten me. My husband and I both knew it was blessings from our God. When I see him do so many things here I don't understand, I sometimes feel, like the Angels who are assigned to just fall before him and say Glory, Glory, Glory. He is Lord. 

May His blessings follow each of you as you give of yourself and what you have (it matters not if it is much or little). Remember he says if you do it to the least of these, my brother, you are doing it to me.

David Kanagy, Kristi and 5 other wonderful people from Lynside Mennonite church in Lynnhurst, VA, gave so graciously and accomplished much. Carlton, another great blessing every time they come, put a new windshield in our Van. Hallelujah! They also did some plumbing repairs and started the outside brick wall to hold the waters back behind the Fran Roland building, This group saw the need & they went and bought brick-like blocks, and had them delivered. It would normally take a month to just get the materials delivered. Thanks to this group, we now have a new couch, love seat, a beautiful lamp, and many other things that everyone will enjoy when you come out. Daniel spoke of being so full of Jesus till our cup runneth over. 

Evergreen Academy is a lovely group of 16 children & 7 adults, led by Headmaster Chris Lierheimer. The children did and ex­cellent job of presenting a message through puppets and dra­mas. Chris brought a good word to both children and adults. They took the children to the public school where they read to our Navajo, then did their dramas and puppet shows. What I think they enjoyed most was playing with the Navajo children and climbing our mesa's. They had great chaperones and the children were very well behaved. It gives me joy to see so many people from so many different places and stages in their lives, come together here, hand in hand to do the Lords work. We get to see a little touch of what heaven will be like.

 Larry Ham and his wife, from River of Life Church in Durant, OK , moved the people everywhere we went with their beautiful Praise and Worship. Doug Lott, his pastor, what a man, like the apostle Paul, God had made such a change in his life. He is a powerhouse for Jesus now. They all pitched in and completed the outside wall. Larry and Doug brought some of the people who have gone through their drug rehab center and they were giving testimony of the things Jesus had done in their life. They bought carpet and Doug worked furiously on carpeting our plat­form.

Things may look terrible in our world but when these groups come out we get to see and hear the wonderful things our God is doing as he gets ready to sound that that last trumpet.

Many spiritual needs were met. There were two professions of faith. The front was filled with people weeping and rededicating their lives to the Lord in different meetings. The youth told us about one young man who was taking meth. They have watched him change. Now he reads and studies his Bible every day, using a dictionary to help with words he does not understand. That is what it is all about.

Jackie Jacobsen & Lillian left us today. It is always sad the moming teams leave. They are such a blessing while here. Lillian had a servant's heart and was constantly giving of herself and passing out coffee and goodies which they brought plenty of. Jackie being a Sioux speaks freely and knowledgably to the Indian people. She understands them and they her. She gave a good example of laying your burdens down and how it is impossible to receive what God has for you if you are loaded down with all your burdens. You must become obsessed with Jesus and not the things of the world. WOW, good teaching! Thanks!

Fifteen days until our big dedication. If you will not be here pray for us. When I think of the many people who have sacrificed so much to build the Fran Roland Building, It brings tears to my eyes. I so want it to bring glory and honor to our precious Lord through multi­tudes being saved. I stand in awe every day at all the things our God does here at CFAN.

Thanks to all of you who have helped us see another great victory!

Prayer requests:

• VBS and summer ministry to be very effective for Jesus.

•  Ken ( our teacher this year) and his wife Joan will be leaving us to go to Guatemala if all goes well. They have been a great blessing. Now we need a teacher by September 1 st. By faith we are enrolling students. Believing God will send us a teacher.

•  For a great revival where many Navajo come and receive the word.

We have some one trying to put curses upon us. The word says: He whom God has blessed no man can curse. So praise God their curses are harmless. The devils plans will go right back to him. Do keep us covered in prayer.

 April 2006 Lybrook News

 God is so good. Each year at The Feast of Tabernacles I like to teach on HIS Provision, Protection, and Providential Guidance.

I received an invitation to the 20th anniversary of New Life in Jesus Church in Arkansas. I had no intention of going anywhere at the time because Joan was gone and only Shane and Ken were here. There were so many reasons I felt I needed to stay right here. But before I even gave thought to my answer, I heard myself saying, “I'll be there”. It was like I was being drawn to make the trip. The day I was to head back to New Mexico, I had a call from two of my children saying I was needed at home in Louisiana. It was obvious to my family how the providential guidance of our Lord had taken me that close to Alexandria and I was able to drive right on down. I was really needed. My son's wife had left him. This son and his wife were always in church serving the Lord. I could not believe they had allowed Satan to come in and play havoc in their home. I covet your prayers for them and many homes the devil is trying to de­stroy. We all need to pray and pray until we see the hand of Almighty God move in restoration and forgiveness. Probably every home that receives this letter has in one way or the other been touched by divorce or separation.

The word of God is the only thing that produces righteousness in a person's life. It washes and cleanses and keeps us clean when we when we read and meditate on it. Four of our Navajo families are having marital problems. The Sheriff and his wife have separated. Bill returned telling of how his son and wife had separated but are now back together and in church. Thank God, this is what we want to hear about all the other couples. Whatsoever God hath put together let no man put asunder.

 Praise Notes

 Virgil Atencio, Nina's son went to be with the Lord this morning Palm Sunday at 6:10. I spent the night in the hospital in Albuquerque with his family. It was a night of both sadness and praise. This boy was such a good Christian. He was a always praying for his family. One of his Aunt's who had gone far away from God rededicated her life to Him by Virgil's bedside. We had communion in the room and it was so sweet. You could feel the presence of the Lord. The night before Virgil asked his sister to open the door, then he said open it wide, she did. He then said close it. She asked, why did you want the door opened? He replied; to let the Angels in.

" And they spoke unto him the word of the Lord, and that were in his house." Acts 6:32

Micah from Campbellsville College in Kentucky, brought a lovely group of five young ladies to help us this month. They worked around the Campus and ministered in some churches with skits and songs in sign language. Everyone enjoyed them. Micah brought a wonderful message.

 He is majoring in TV engineering, but I told him I think God will call him into the pulpit. What an honor to have these youth, who could have been basking in the sun in Florida on their break, but they chose to serve God in this remote, dry, dead area of the world.

  "And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.' Galatians 6:9

God has answered our prayers for Theresa. This is her  new wheel chair and a new van that is so easy for her to  get in and out. She sends her thanks to all of you who helped with this project.

 Dedication

I get more excited each day about the dedication of the Fran Roland building. Join us in prayer that everything will come together. 

This is your invitation. Let us know how many will be coming!

Speakers will include some of our board, Navajo Speakers, Tom White, William Lee, and Tommy Nunn, grandson of David Nunn a great evangelist. Included also is David Herzog, author of the book "Mysteries of the glory" which includes a forward written by Ruth Ward Heflin in which she says; God is using David Herzog, through signs and wonders to span this generations in the most recent wave of glory that is sweeping Europe and America.

We quote this verse for Israel often: And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all the people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.

There is a veil that covers large segments of mankind and the globe. And the origin of this veil is the original progenitor, Adam. Now God has chosen at various times in history to lift the veil. Devine revelation has flowed very specifically in certain people, cultures and places.

Pray with us the spiritual veil will be lifted in the Navajo Nation May 26 -29th at CFAN in Lybrook. New Mexico. Their eyes will be opened to the true Messiah

 Praise Report

We have ordered 96 chairs, our stove, and refrigerator.

 Please Pray

We have been asking everyone to pray for The Chapter Houses, they are so filled with fraud. Speaking of Nageezi and Counselor. Nageezi burned with all the papers of course being burned up. They suspect arson. Pray God will raise up God-fearing Christian Na­vajo's and place them in these government positions The New Navajo President has now opened the door for the first casino on the reservation.

Revival and Dedication of Francis Roland Building

Revival and dedication is set for May 26, 27, 28, & 29th. We are putting together our program for the dedication and are really getting excited. It has been so long since we started the building. Hallelujah, it is almost finished!

Two groups will be coming out soon. We pray we can get a nice aluminum refrigerator, a commercial stove, and all the chairs we need. God has done so much I know these finishing touches are a minor task for him, We encourage all who have worked on this building and all our supporters, please try to come to the dedication. Some of you may need to bring blow up mattresses. When the rooms run out I think we will have plenty of floor space and also there are motels in Cuba and Farmington.

We are praying for a spiritual tsunami. God is the same yesterday, today and forever and he says "greater things shall we do." It is time for us to believe for great miracles to happen; blind eyes to open and the lame to walk. Please pray, believing with us. Marriages restored. Homes to again be places filled with love and security for the children.

Praise Report

Emerson and Rosita are together again. It broke my heart to see Shania when they separated. She loves her daddy so much even though he was doing all kinds of terrible things. They went to Navajo family court and after hearing all the reasons they should continue this marriage and have a home for these children. They have decided to work on the marriage. Emerson has a large collection of awful music and things he does not need. He has promised me he will bring it to the church and we can have a big bon­fire. Hopefully many more in the church Area will do the same thing with all this trash that only invites satan into their home. Keep us in prayer as we teach and counsel these people.

Our Tuesday night service has been good. Ken is a good Bible teacher. Different people are coming and wanting us to start Sunday church. I've wanted that for some time but don't want to start unless we have people who will stay here. I can't do it alone.

Our school Is growing we have four new students. They seem to be more interested in school now.

Valentine's Banquet

Our Valentine's Banquet was a big success. They  sold tickets for the ­youth to make a trip. It was the largest crowd of visitors ever. Everything went beautifully.
Marcey Whatley and Jan McGowan came out to help me this month. Marcey worked on my books preparing them for our bookkeeper. Praise The Lord. They were a great blessing to me. I know Brian was glad to see Marcey come home; as he was mom and dad to Caleb and Joshua, plus taking care of his business. God is so all knowing He sent Jan at the perfect time. We were having a little Valentine Banquet for the stu­dents and no one here is very good at decorations. The picture to the left will show you one of her many talents. Isn't our God Awesome!

To those of you who met Loretta, who lived in the tent while she was pregnant, I met with her yesterday. I went into Kentucky Fried Chicken, and there she was working behind the counter. She and her boyfriend both have jobs now and live with her mother in Bloomfield. I talked to her about getting them married and she says they have been talking about it and do want to get married.

"Therefore encourage one another and build up one another: " 1 Thessalonians 5:11

The U. S. Supreme Court has just passed another bill. A church in Albuquerque is now allowed to use a tea they drink to  hallucinate, because they say it makes them closer to god. I'm sure it does, but to what god? This is not an Indian church.

Other churches are praying and using the corn pollen in their foyers. Many churches do not understand the Indians religions and the meanings of their traditions. They join right along in worship to their god and it is not the same god we serve. They have now added the crescent moon to their cymbals in the peyote ceremonies. This of course comes from the moon god worshiped in the Middle East today.

Prayer Requests

Pray for Israel

For if you remain silent at this time relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your Fathers house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.

Dick Carmack was quest speaker at one of our Navajo Pastor Meetings he spoke on The Ten Commandments. One of the Navajo had already shown me a plaque of " The Commandments" on a piece of rugged tile. It looked like stone it was so neat. what a nice present to be given to anyone, anywhere. It is also a wonderful way to get Gods word, his laws in every home and business. Lets all do our part to keep these commandments in our homes and before our families eyes.

Many of you have heard me speak often of The Wonderful lady, Sue Anthony, who has given me all the clothes I wear, for many years now. She also has lovely homes she has allowed me and many other missionaries to stay in when we are in her town. Her husband John just passed away. Please keep her and all his family in your prayers. He was a very special man. Gave and left untold amounts of money to missions and good organizations. John Anthony he will be missed by many.

Pray for Ken our Teacher and Principal. His wife Joan has gone back home to Illinois for two months. Her brother is recovering from an operation and she has gone to get their taxes taken care of and minister to her brother.

Shane is such a blessing to have around. He has made friends with a lot of youth and is going to concerts and different places so he is not so lonely. He is also lots of help to me. Keep him in prayer he wants to be a youth leader one day. He loves the Lord.

Navajo Winter

Winter is a bad time for the Navajo. All this week has been below 10°, very dry. Most of the men are laid off from work. They get far behind on their bills and it is hard for them to catch up. This week began with Darren calling to see if he could come over and work for gas money. Of course I said yes even though I did not really need him that day. I gave Darren $30.00 for a couple hours helping me in the house. The same day a couple came and said, their water was going to be cut off it not paid and the government housing would put them out if the water was turned off. This was Loretta’s family. They said you are the only person they knew to come to, so I paid their water bill which was close to $60.00. Then Lori comes in with the sad story of no butane, they are behind in their solar bill and it is cut off. There is no end to the needs. I wonder if we could go to all the houses behind us and what kind of conditions we would find. Pray for me to have discernment and make the right decisions.

Our gas bill alone rose from $340.53 in Nov. to $966.72 in Dec. We try to be good stewards of all God gives us so we drained our pipes in the new building and are only keeping our school room heated. The children are going to the Dome to use the bathroom and it is working out alright.

Construction on our road close to my house is being done. They have dug deep ditches over the pipe line and poured concrete and say they are going to grade it. PRAY they will gravel it.

In Remembrance

Ben Fender, a wonderful young man, and the leader of ( Spin Four) a juggling group who had made several ministry trips to CFAN, was playing the strangling game and hung himself. When I asked a Pastor, "How could he, a strong Christian do this?" He answered me, "He must have been deceived by Satan to think this was not sin." There were no drugs or alcohol involved. Satan has come to kill, steal, and destroy. We must pray to find a way to keep our youth from this deception. Life is so precious. Please let's not play around with it so carelessly

Memorial Gifts

Al  Paas:            given by Delores Paas and family.

Johnny Leveron:             given by River Parishes Hospital

Johnny Leveron:             given by Scott and Jonnie Boudreaux

Johnny Leveron:            given by Larry &. Joleen Hayes

Delores Paas & Dawn Poche" We thank you and your families and friends very much

Prayer

I had two dreams that troubled me and I shared with some of you. We know that fervent prayer can change any situation, or attack from the enemy. One of my dreams was a great wind coming to America, like nothing we have ever seen before. I don't know if it is a spiritual wind or a physical wind.

As I watched the man on Fox news speak of how we should prepare the , children for emergencies that might happen and the threat that the next attack would be felt in our homes. I was glad I gave my children a new book by Perry Stone Christmas. It is entitled Unveiing the Beast.

 We are in war, not with countries so much as Satan and the only way to fight him is with the weapons Jesus has given us. To me this is another call to pray. Thank God for those of you who have been on the 21 days of fasting and praying. I've just returned from Nageezi going from house to house praying for everyone. Seems the devil has been having a hay day causing sickness and marital problems keep them in your prayers

Praise Report

Tuesday night after service and we had lots of clothes to give away. A little girl liked her pajama's so much she had to put them on right then.

Shane Collier has just finished carving our sign for the Fran Roland Building. We have found him to be a great artist. Continue to pray with us for a great move of God at the dedication. And for our VBS coming up.

Before we call many times He answers. I was concerned wondering how will we pay $1000,00 a month for gas alone in the houses. Then while having lunch in Farmington a couple ( some of my new friends.) saw me invited me up to their office and gave me a nice donation. Then when I opened my mail and saw the sizable memorial gift. from Dawn's friends and family. Delores had already taken care of our funds needed to clear things concerning the bus accident with her family memorial gift. I gave a big hallelujah knowing that God was taking care of us. He always knows right where we are and what we need and when we need it He is truly awesome!

We appreciate you sending your prayer request. We are seeing God answer so many prayers.

Thank You

What a beautiful day we have. The food bank is open with lots of food today. Our music teachers are teaching music to our students and my day to teach them the Bible, service tonight in our Dome, so I'm blessed. I also have a volunteer helping me in the office for this day.

Look. What the Lord Has Done 

Many thanks to our sponsors and faithful supporters! All fixtures, plumbing, and heating for the Fran Roland building have been provided. Last year, we sent out a list of all our needs, and God has blessed us through you. Its amazing what God has done, over $20,000 of materials, were donated.

 Dedication for this building is scheduled for May. We hope that everyone who has helped in any way will clear their calendars and come celebrate with us. We still need a few items for the dorm rooms; chairs for the dining and fellowship hall, and for the students' academy, and a refrigerator. 

Memorial Gifts

Brother Al Paas went to be with the Lord, the first part of December. Memorial gifts received from James and Gerder Phoenix, and Gerald and Dorothy Buchanan.Thank you.

 Bus Accident

The lawsuit concerning the bus accident was settled out of court. An agreement was reached for $5,000. For this we are very thankful! Continue to pray that all of the other medical expenses will be taken care of.

 What a Wonderful Christmas

Alex's team from Dallas came to help us through Christmas week. They assisted us in meeting our agreement with the inspector. They also quickly put together a drama, which we took to the Chapter House for the Headstart Children, along with gifts for each child. We also provided gifts for Christian Worship Center's annual hayride and caroling. Another church called and asked if we could help them with some gifts, and we were able to send gifts over to their children.

Alex and Manning gave a wonderful message to our Navajo people at our Christmas service. There was not any standing room left.

 “If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love has been perfected in us.” 1^st John 4:12

His is blessings never end, they are new every morning. I am here in Louisiana visiting my precious family .My grand children are helping me with this newsletter. My son is advising me as I buy a new car. I have another great grandbaby on the way, this will be number 14. My children, Ray, Max, Bo, Bobby. Myra, Tim, and Leah are very blessed and such a blessing to me, with their wonderful spouses. My 14 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren, we are a big happy family.

 My Navajo family is even larger. Ken and Joan, our new helpers, are holding down the mission while I'm away. Shane and Alana went home to their families for the holidays. Alana took Darren Charlie to her home for a visit. I know he is having  lots of fun in Virginia.

We covet your prayers as we enter 2006, that Jesus will be lifted up higher and higher in New Mexico through CF AN. He promises to draw all men to himself if we lift him up. God bless you and thank you for a wonderful year.

CHRIST FOR ALL NATIONS 

DECEMBER 2005

 Wishing you a Merry Christmas 

November has been great. Beauti­ful weather which allowed us to deliver lots of food and clothing to our people. So many stories I could tell you of neat things that have happened. Shane is working around here, teaching Art and P. E. Lorie one of our students does not like PE but she needs it most of all. She is such a sweet little girl. But has consumed much fry bread and is over weight so its hard for her to keep up with the others.

It is a joy to see some of the children stay after school just to talk to Ken. One young man who's father passed away really enjoys his company. We are all glad to have Joan back and her daughter is doing well. We had a nice Thanksgiving Dinner with the students and their par­ents. The boys always like carving the Turkey, they even washed dishes. They always serve their parents and us.

We invited the plumber to lunch. He was installing our heaters that day and has helped us a lot.

Thank you for the Memorial Gifts

In honor of Bobby McQueen Tioga, La. given by The Willing Workers SS Class at Alpine Church.

In honor of Fran Rol­land given by CFNI Maintenance Crew.

Our Wonderful Praise Report

 Some of you may not know. The Inspector came and Praise the Lord we passed inspection. Now we have to finish our parking lot and move a lot of dirt and buy a lot of gravel get a bobcat and have it spread. We had to do a few other little minor things. He has given us a grace period until Jan 10th to have the grounds all in order. Do pray we have it all done. Pray no water pipes burst and we find what is causing some of our pipes to freeze. Ken and Shane have been insulating everything they can find and we are running a lot of heaters on high to prevent them bursting. With gas and electricity as expensive as it is we can't do this long.

We pray our Christmas will be as great as Thanksgiving was. It is so good to show the love of Jesus through your gifts and prayers I will be teaching The Love Chapter this week. I love teaching the Love of God but always feel I can't do it justice. His love is so great. We all look forward to Kens teaching on The Blood Covenant.

 Ray came loaded down with so many good things Christmas gifts, diapers, new clothes, food I saw lots of lotions health items and will go over in a couple of days and begin to separate and make ready for our wonderful service.

Again we say Thank you to everyone that has sent. Maybe some of you have not sent yours yet. It is now that time. Christmas is upon us. We must keep The Spirit of Christmas strong as man is trying to do away with all that stands for Christ.

 The Lord blessed me again with a visit from Danny Leah, Daniel, Drew & Ray, He was able to stay a couple of days with us through Thanksgiving.

 We received Memorial gifts for Lillie Mae Rabalais. Thank You, Alpine Volunteer fire Department, and Curtis & Estelle Oaks. This is my sister in law who passed away last week. Please pray for her children and sisters. Ms, Frazier, my Son in Law's mother also passed away this week. They had both been ill a long time. Nevertheless even when we know they are in a much better place, waiting for us; the family will need much prayer as the days go by to help heal the absence of their loved one. Only Jesus can give us the peace that passeth our understanding.

We are all looking forward to Bro Kens teaching. I am teaching a series on Corinthians at CWC.

Prayer Requests
We have many things coming up and really need prayer:

¿The Feast of Tabernacles October 14 and 15.

¿Christmas Service December 17^th 

¿Our Tuesday night services. Although we do not have a van driver we still have a good service.

¿Pray that everything concerning the Fran Roland building will fall into order all the work that needs to be done will soon be finished.

¿Pray God will send us more workers. The ones whom we need and all the finances we need to keep up with the ever-increasing cost of living.

¿God Bless you all and may you know the blessing you are. With so many people in need today. We are very thankful for your help to us.

In His Great Love,

Greetings from Lybrook.

It has been so nice and cool and the flowers are at their loveliest. I have Paul’s dog and three kittens to keep me company and Bill the gentlemen working on the Baptist Church close to Ojo Lucino is back from Louisiana. He brought us food & clothing now he just finished all the fire alarm work. Praise God.

We have had one of our busiest summers and I’ll have to say one of our best. God has-moved in so many ways.

Duncanville Foursquare (Tx.) led by Pastor Gary Osborne, what a team! The Ladies where cleaning organizing all the time and the men working, non-stop. Yet they where ministering in two churches every night with drama, skits, puppets and teaching the Word. They brought and installed computers and printers and helped set up the classroom. Not room to mention all everyone did.

My family. Ray, his son Jeff & Karen & family & Trent. This was my first time to see adorable Trent. Then, my granddaughter Ashley and her husband Gary with their precious ones Haley & Brody. We had a wonderful visit. I still have my great grandbabies hand prints to look at on my glass door. I had some color crayons on the wa1l but the mothers did not let me keep them. Precious memories.

A group called the Upper Room was led by Greg Akers. They spent a whole day in my house cleaning the blinds, windows and everywhere. They also installed a new window and taught here and in church. Worked

in my office such a tremendous help everywhere.

Altar'd (La) A wonderful Christian Band My grandson is the drummer. I have to share this. When Blake was very young, (he is now 14 yrs) he would say grandmother when I get old I'm going to have my own band and the first place we will go is to NM to play for the Indians. So I had to share the faith of a young boy who has believed so strong God brought it to pass. It is not his band but he is a major part of Altar'd and he is responsible for their coming. They were greatly enjoyed. I believe God will do great things through them. Tim my son came with them.

Dayton Mennonite Church (Va.) They painted some of our outside buildings installed tile at CWC fixed roof on Ms Francis house it was leaking on her bed hauled lots of dirt in wheelbarrow's and filled many holes in our road caused by the rains. They also brought copiers and a slide projector, projector screens, a new ping pong table.

Every group found many things to do not mentioned cooked lots of good food which I always enjoy with them and kept all our piles of trash hauled away. What would we do without each of you. I know I have not mentioned half you did but God knows and he is the one who will reward you. Now, it was not all work for our teenagers. They played ball, road horses, climbed Mesa's and mingled with our Navajo youth joining them in music and fun.

The Love of Jesus was shed abroad for another great summer. I Thank all of You.

Many Churches have been blessed with computers, copiers overhead projectors, and thanks to Peggy Reilly we hope to get a few radios for some of our Navajo's. These radio's are programmed to three Christian stations and that is all they will pick up. This will be a great blessing to older Christians who may not be able to go church and they can-enjoy teaching and preaching in Navajo.

Our School is lovely. All set up and ready for the first day. Lynn did a wonderful job for which we are very grateful.

We have purchased most of the beds for the dormitories and when we get settled in school we will work on those things again.

Today, I have been busy with the students coming for their paces. We have 7 enrolled so far.

Deborah has been a great help with the food bank.

Dorothy continues to visit the people reading the Bible and praying with them. She took Janette Martinez to visit her family yesterday and visited the Sales family. This morning she is taking food to some people for us. She is precious to CFAN.

Darren is doing well recovering from his snake bite.

Loretta and her boy friend are in town most of the time with his mother. I don't see them much. (This is the couple who lived in the tent).

Maggie has moved to town with her daughter, Bernadine because her house is in such bad condition.

So many needs thank God we can meet some of them

Pray for Rosita and her marriage.

Prayer Needs

• That we get and approved on our inspections and we can occupy the school building till the rest is completed.

 September

 I had the newsletter ready to go when the hurricane struck our coastland. I was glad I had not mailed it so I could add a little to it. I have never felt so helpless in my life. It is like a member of my family had died. I could hardly take my eyes off the TV. I prayed and prayed Louisiana is my home state. I, like many others just wanted to go check on all my family. Praise God they are all well and fine. To watch all the suffering and hurting people and not be able to do anything was torture. I did not ask God why all this happened I think we all know.

A Philadelphia Christian Organization said; (The hurricane hit two days before the Southern Decadence festival was to begin) it is a time when homosexuals engage in all kind of sex acts in the public streets & bars. This would have been the 34th year. Repent America director said; {New Orleans was a city that opened her doors wide to the public celebrations of sin.) we all know Mardi Graw had become a terrible disgrace to Louisiana.

When it is rebuilt we pray Jesus will be invited in.

1st Peter I; 10 is a prayer we can all pray for the those who are suffering, confused and don’t know what to do. (May the GOD of all GRACE who called us to his eternal Glory by CHRIST JESUS after you have suffered a while prefect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.)

Our hearts go out to all of them. We also pray the Christians will reach out and find all their needs met through our precious Lord. That soon they can say JOY does come in the morning and feel HIS comfort and peace that passes our understanding. Millions have opened their doors to help. We hope to hear of many miracles. For those who do not know the Lord we pray this will be a time when their life will be changed and they can come into that hope only Children of God have.

Christmas is just around the corner

Ray will be making his usual run to pick up your gifts, food and etc. For the Navajo. He will be in La., Ark., & Tx. Thanksgiving weekend. We are always so thankful for what you send I know the Navajo really look forward to our Christmas Service. They feel and experience the love of God. We will probably have it around the 18th of Dec. Please contact Ray at 1-(214)-438-2950 or Cell Phone 214-727-6126 e-mail helpinghandsoftexas@hotmail.com to find day and time he will be in your area.

God Bless all of you

Love you Lazelle

August Newsletter 2005

Summer Groups

The Lord has blessed Christ For All Nations this summer with groups form all over the United States. We have had groups from Illinois, Arkansas, Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas and Ohio. Let me share with you some of the wonderful things we have experienced.

We’ve witnessed grown men weeping before God till the wee hours of the morning. Sixteen youths made first time commitments to Christ. A “Brownsville” type revival broke out among a group of young people who came to minister and we had quite a revival in a little church in Farmington.

One group came to minister to the men. Many of the grown Navajo men came confessing their sins, saying they desired to walk closer with the Lord.

 Jeff and Rena agreed to take our youth to Youth For the Nations in Dallas, Texas. The young people had a wonderful time and great spiritual experiences.

We had a list of things to do her at Christ For All Nations with each group given a list to accomplish. Each group managed to get their list done. Many things too numerous to mention have been accomplished. Our last group for July did a wonder “Mr. Clean” job in the Dome – many things are now organized and look so neat.

How we thank God for all the laborers – some ministering, some building, some painting, cooking, and cleaning. I now have two new windows in Shalom House. One pastor reminded me of what Paul prayed for – not for prophets, teachers or preachers but that God would send laborers into the harvest. Thanks to you laborers who heard the call of God and have come this summer to minister to the Body of Christ.

Food Bank

It has been a miracle how God has supplied us with food. We went to town one day saying, “Today we will find food for all who come.” Two places supplied us saying they did not know if they could keep getting it. Then $100 came in the mail for food. As I was sharing our food miracle, the group here today from Ohio gave us $150 the children from their Vacation Bible School had gathered for food.
God is so good…

Prayer Requests

Teachers for our school. We have two couples who have called. Pray they can sell their homes and raise the funds they need to come. Both are serious and others promise short time help. Your prayers are making a difference. Please don’t give up. God knows just who we need.

We gave Paul and Lynn a sweet good bye party at CWC. They will be greatly missed.

Jeff and Rena are in the process of moving to their new headquarters. We hope to work together with our Navajo people.

The last few Tuesday nights the Dome has been filled with people. We need teachers, preachers, ministers, home parents, general helpers of all kinds.

IS GOD CALLING YOU?

WHAT A SUMMER !

God has many young warriors coming forth in His Kingdoms work and I was blessed to have two of them join us for a time of service this month. They were Addie Graham from Meredith College in Tennessee & Andrea Saltzman from Campbellsville University in Kentucky I pray they will return every year and bring others with them .  

Dorothy Tewa did something wonderful for me. After 20 years on the reservation. She recognized our work and bought a sheep cooked a big mouton feast invited some Navajo and they honored me & gave thanks for Christ for All Nations with gifts, sweet words and even a money tree that had almost $400.00 on it. It was a great gift from the Navajo. We will use the money for Navajo song books and Bibles.

Activation Ministries led by Dave & Dee Dee Thompson from Evergreen Colorado; They are a very special and unique team. They have come for many years to serve God with us. Ministering in homes and Churches. Dave did painting, set up computers they brought.

Getting our new kitchen in order, keeping the prayer room filled with prayer warriors, the powerful night services with Dee Dee moving in prophetic song, people being saved set free, given a new heart and a new hope. They brought many new appliances for our kitchen. They purchased paint and a painter. They always bring us so many things and lots of food which helps take us through the summer. Some of us were blessed with a great foot massage from a professional. Our blue car was repaired. We are so grateful to all of you & what you did.

A New Life in Jesus  from Nashville Arkansas group came, led by Mary Alice Moore. It is the 20th year of ministering here with us. Mary Alice has a way of breaking down barriers & bringing things to a head; as she teaches repent turn from your sins and live a Godly life. They brought our first VBS for the season not just one but two. They wore me out in a wonderful way. Good Bible teaching, crafts, fellowship and guitar lessons. The Navajo wanted to play all night. The ladies never-wanted to stop doing their crafts. They now have a prayer pillow with a pocket to put their prayers in. Mary Alice's children grew up on this mission field. They are like family coming home to the Navajo.

United Methodist Church from Lyndstrom, Minnesota lead by Jessie Figueroa came. This was another wonderful group of summer missionaries. Doing so many things. I was in a real need of prayer and so thankful they were here to lift up my arms and pray with me. They played endless games of soccer and  basketball with our youth. Then left us some nice soccer balls, net and all. They also brought us more computers, and helped move Lynn's classroom. They purchased the material and added a room on Janette Martinez's house and re-roofed it. She is so happy They left us lot of soccer balls and all the equipment. Our school children love to play soccer. Our ladies  and men had such fun with their crafts. Some even learned to knit.

Another lovely team led by Jeff Rawlings came from Illinois from Open Arms Foursquare Church. It was Bro. Dave from Open Doors Ministry  first time to minister here. We pray it will not be their last. They brought good teaching to our People and fell in love with them of course. They touched the heart of our Navajo men. Several came forward in tears of repentance expressing a desire to live for Jesus. The group repaired the Dome roof painted the stairs and railings did lots of other things for our ministry. Thank God for those who cooked and cleaned, which is a hard job and so appreciated.

All this and we have July and August yet for ministry teams. God is so good. We pray every seed that is planted will bring forth fruit in abundance.

The rancher who bought the ranch below us. Stopped me the other day and told me he is going to try to get our road turned into a county road. Then the county  will keep maintain it. Do pray this happens swiftly so we can have a good road to go in and out on. Twenty years of prayer. We are seeing God do so many things.

I am crying out in prayer to stay in His perfect will. Never have we had the enemy fighting against us in so many ways.  Please keep me covered it is not easy to keep peace among so great a crowd of people. The Navajo's have had so many missionaries disappoint them. Pray I never do that. Pray Christ For All Nations will stand strong as a ministry. That they can count on our ministry to always be here to help them find their way out of their darkness. Pray God will send us people that will work with this ministry and not want to start their own. Oh, that brethren could dwell together in unity as God has requested.

To those who have been praying with us about our food bank. We were asked to be a distributor for a food bank in Farmington and now they are having a hard time getting food. Every Tuesday people are at our door looking for food. We have had to turn many away. Thank God we have found another source that will help us right now. I don't know how long that will last. Pray this lawsuit from the accident will soon be over. We can try to get a grant or something permanent to help us supply the Navajo with the food they need in this area.

We are still praying for help more help with the ministry. We need several people maintenance, office, and teachers. You do not need a certificate to work here only love and willingness to serve. Thank all of you who have already sponsored some children. We thank every donor because you are the reason we can be here.

The Post Master at Nageezi passed away. As far as anyone knows he was not a Christian. The family asked Jerry Domingo to conduct his funeral. Then Jerry asked me if I would do the funeral. I was a hard thing to do. I used Rick Warrens 3 steps, “Where did we come from? What are we here for? Where are we going?” I was praying some of family might see their need of The Saviour as I tried to just lift up Jesus and the great love of our God. The only thing they said about him was. He was a good giving man who always had a cold beer or drink in his hand. What a sad memory to leave on this earth.

Keep us in prayer as we continue our busy schedule.

In His great Love

June Newsletter of May’s Events

This is a beautiful day, my staff and our academy students have gone on their annual camping trip to Navajo Lake. This is such fun for the students and staff. The weather could not be lovelier. It changed from winter to summer and has been up to 100 degrees for a few days but today it is 50. The mountain snows are melting fast because of the extreme heat we have had and it is causing lots of flooding. Since we are located very high flooding  usually doesn't effect us.

 MAY'S MISSIONARIES

Lynn Side Mennonite Church a lovely group from Virginia came and blessed us with many good things. The Fiesta car now runs. We have a brand new great coffee pot. A much needed new window in Shalom house. In Fran Roland the rooms all cleaned and lots of finishing work done. 
The ladies worked so hard moving boxes and cleaning and helping us get a children's room set up. Jeff and Rena are already using it on Tuesday nights. We sent a list of things we needed to be done and when David saw it he said what will all the other groups do . We will do all that. 
They really did get most of it done. (but) Never worry we have another list going and there is always lots of things to do here. If you all did not come and help us we would never get things done. How we thank God for every group. This truly is a mission God has built.
From their church ( Lynn Side Mennonite Church) 
They presented us with $6000.00 for our heaters. Praise The Lord!

Missionaries Continued

Our dear Brian, Marcie, Caleb, Joshua & Jason (a nephew) came also. Marcie and Caleb got really sick. So they did not enjoy their visit as much as if they would have been well. Thank the Lord they were both much better when they departed for home. Marcie recuperated enough to get all my book work done and even do some cleaning in my dirty house. Brian bless his heart.

He was both Mom, Dad and even found time to go and work with all the men. Some days he looked pretty worn out. I don't think he is one of those who would like to change places with his wife. Jason was lots of help. He and Caleb did some heavy work for us. Joshua has grown so much is a very smart little boy. 
Marcie's Mom and Dad came bringing good tidings of good things also. They brought from their church Liberty Baptist $1000.00 to furnish a room. This now gives us funds for five rooms. I'm excited about going to get our beds and linens. We want to use a theme in each room as we decorate. Either countries or states. We hope this would encourage prayer for that area.

Buddy and Jan Greer came with their lovely family and with some of mine family. Their daughter Nikkie is married to my grandson Joey. I have two precious great grandsons by them.

Jacob and Chris. Jacob has been here before and Chris has always wanted to come to New Mexico. It was so good to have al1 of them, and Buddy's other daughter with her family. 
My grandson Joey preached and the children did sign songs. Oh that all of our children, were serving in the House of The Lord. 

My son Ray came bringing a trailer load of things many for The Fran Roland Building. He brought us a lovely Wurlitzer Piano. Praise the Lord. We are so blessed. 

Ken Graham & Rowena came with their children from Tennessee. They brought Addie their daughter who just graduated from college to stay a few weeks and help us here at the mission.

Praise the Lord. We have another young lady who will join us this week coming from Kentucky. She will also be a summer missionary here at CF AN. Thank God for these college students who love the Lord so much.

Humanitarian Aid

We have been blessed to have much food and clothing to give away, but we don't know what has happened to our supplier. They were anxious for us to be a helping hand to them now we can't get the food we need. We are turning many away. When the Carpenters came (Marcie's Mom and Dad) and looked in our pantry they were heart sick. There was no food. They actually went to Cuba and bought some canned meats so we would have something to give out. We went to our personal food pantry and gathered much of our own food. We need your prayers for this. It is a great concern.

Bro. Elmer Brown came to visit and we gave him lots of clothes. He was in Red Valley at a revival and the pastor and church there was asking for clothes. Thank God he told them I know where I can get you some. He was referring to us. We have given his church lots of things. These are the things we thank God for. When we can meet a need and that people know we will help.

Mission Needs Prayer Requests

Still needed for the Fran Roland Building:
            Water heater 80 to 100 gallon

Three more rooms to be furnished. $1000.00 a room

Landscaping, leveling, gravel for parking lot $2000.00

All our summer mission groups to be more effective than ever before.

Jesus is coming soon and many souls need to be saved and ready to meet him

Pray for Israel and you will be blessed
A promise from God

CHRIST FOR ALL NATIONS MAY NEWS


Dear Wonderful friends,

My how refreshed and great I feel after seeing and being with my family and in some powerful meetings. The Holy Spirit is at work, we can all be sure. The Pastor's meeting at Christ for The Nations was right on target. The theme was Counsel for These Times. Oh how we need that. 

When the Kingdom of Saul was changing to The Kingdom of David the men of Issachar

who had understanding of the times and knew what Israel had to do came on board to join David's Army. We need Godly Spirit Filled men today who understand the times to begin to cry out and give Counsel. We do not want to join up with the wrong army (even the elect will be deceived if it were possible). All Christians should let their voices be heard concerning the moral issues in our country.

Thank God for the messengers today encouraging fasting and prayer. I heard a young man ask the question to the congregation, he said; if a person can not pass a hamburger place they probably could not resist sex advances flaunted before them in beautiful packages.

This is a time for the bride to fast and pray for the bridegroom to come. I'm sure Jesus is rejoicing in Heaven knowing soon He will be with His bride. Oh that all of us will be

bathing in the Word and the Oil of The Holy Spirit. His word is sweeter than honey to our lips.

Many Pastors are so stressed and under attack, sick, discouraged. The devil has come to wear out the saints. He can never win the battle. I understand percentage wise the divorce rate among Christians is larger than unbelievers God said from the beginning this was not so. This is so wrong. Our strength comes from Fasting, Prayer and reading God's word.

Our power to endure the things that coming on this earth. Let us pray more and more for one another.

We must be over comers.

Rev: To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a

white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving him who .. recieveth it.

Rev 2: 26 He that over cometh and keeps my works until the end to him will I give power over the nations.

Rev 3 5: He that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Rev 3 :21 To him thatovercometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne.

How thankful I am for Jeff and Rena, Paul and Lynn. They just kept eveything going

right along in my absence. We had two great groups come out and they took good of care of them. Got a lot of work done around here.

Jeff and Rena are wonderful workers so willing to do what ever is needed.

We could not find a more dedicated and committed teacher than Lynn she is special. Paul continues his work at the church in Cuba and helps us out with the teachings at Christian Worship Center.

 PRAYER REQUEST

We have and urgent prayer request concerning some of our churches. It is something I'd rather not share right now. God knows what it is.

My first morning home, Nina called about her son Virgil has been diagnosed with cancer. They

have operated but give him little hope. We had prayer with him yesterday and will believe with him for his healing as long as he has breath. Believe with us for a miracle he is a young man in his 20's.
Many of you know Carlos. He came to our door bringing his friend for us to pray for his knee. It was all swollen from what the Dr's told him before might be a blood clot. Carlos had witnessed to him about how God had touched and healed him because of prayer. Carlos persuaded him to come here for prayer. After we led him to Jesus we prayed for his healing and instructed him to go to the doctor and bring us back a good report.

Our summer mission groups for a Great move of God in every area we cover ~

Our Staff

The Fran Roland building to be finished soon. Laborers and funds. Thank all of you who have been so faithful to help us with this project. Thank all who have sent $1000.00 or $500.00 or any amount to help furnish a room. Thank all who have bought or given us items or furniture and those who send paper goods, food, office supplies and etc. We pray you will all be able to come one day and see where your gifts have gone and how they are being used.

I thank God for the quality time I had with my 7 children their spouses, my 14 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. I saw all but one grandson and his wife and child they are to come visit me in August. I am looking forward to that I found them all well and blessed.

I also had a wonderful visit with my half-sister who I met for the first time she is 92 years young and so alive and alert

May God be with you all

In His Great Love Lazelle

MOTHERS DAY

I pray every Mother in the world could be as blessed as I am with my children. God was doing specialties when he put them all together.

CHRIST FOR ALL NATIONS APRIL 2005 NEWS  

We are at a grown breaking Buddy, Jan, Jeff, Rena and myself. I've never seen a Pastor more excited. Pray for this little church in Kimbeto. Pastor Raymond Sales. Buddy & Jan have ministered in this church for years. The Senior Pastor & his wife cry when they see them. They refer to them as their children.

Praise the Lord I don't think we will have to slow down on the building. God is laying on peoples hearts to help us. My nephew Butch Baker e-mailed that God was laying on his heart to buy the plumbing fixtures. Then David Kanagy e-mailed he was collecting money for their out to buy the plumbing fixtures. I have asked David to by and collect some for the heaters. We need 10 heaters at $550.00 each. That is a lot of money. But I believe God will send all we need and we can dedicate the building before September.

He has done so much for us. I can believe for anything. He is God and nothing is impossible for Him.

We have stripped bare a bunkhouse for our youth. The first night was great. Jeff & Rena are wonderful with them. I told them even if we have to slow down on-the building we want to get what they need to work with the youth. How we pray many of them might find the peace, hope and joy of being a child of God.  

May the God of The Harvest Bless those of you who have so blessed and stood with us, with a Great Harvest. May He bless you coming in and going out. May He bless your home with peace. May He Bless your family with a Complete blessing of salvation and that every seed receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

Israel
This was spoken by Hal Lindsey this week on TV:

We must pray for Israel, Pray for Jerusalem. The Sanhedrin has been reinstated and they are making plans to rebuild the Temple and reestablish animal sacrifices They have invited 10.000 Jews to attend a gathering in Jerusalem on April 10th VERY INTERESTING

Miracles still happen Jeff talked to a man grading our road. They parked their big machines by our building and grated the road to the Dome and will do more. They brought several big loads of gravel and put on our main road in one bad spot pray it multiply's 
 

What a happy group of people as we all gathered around at Christian Worship Center to fill bags of groceries to take north, south, east and west. Dave & Dee Thompson e-mailed me that they had access to lots of groceries including meats if we could go pick-them up. I did not have anyone on staff available. I went to Rena and Larry and told them what we needed so off to Denver they went with another couple from the church. They had a Van, a truck and large trailer loaded down when they returned. We have given out most all of the food. Everyone helped it has been such a blessing. The food was grade A not commodities. God is so good and to see the Navajo doing this for their people it was a blessing.

 Georgetown Baptist Church

What a great group of people. We have lot of request for information about CFAN. As most of you know we have very little on paper to give out. I am so thankful for the publicity we get from those who come out and tell others about us then they come out: and that is how our ministry got started and how it keeps going. It is all a God thing. He advertises for us. That is how Georgetown came. First worked Randy Carruth came then he came back and brought Joe Louis. Then Joe cames back and brought Bro. Wade Smith and a group from Georgetown. They were a blessing. Bro. Wade made a suggestion that I would like to pass on. He said, “Why don't you ask churches to think about furnishing a room in the new building. The cost would be about $1000.00.” And he went on to say, “I will furnish the 1st one.” Praise the Lord. This would include the furniture the linens and most everything. We will put a plaque in the room bearing your church name or maybe and individual would do this.
Campbellsville College

This has got to be one of the greatest colleges we have today. CFAN has been blessed to have many groups of students come and they are always a special.

Shawn brought this group. He is one of our regulars now coming a couple of times a year. My how they worked Jeff had them going in 20 degree weather cleaning up all the mess that has been in our yard for ever so long. Some of it from the new building and some that had accumulated over the years. They could have all stayed home and relaxed everyday but they chose to come and serve the Lord. How we thank God for these young people and the teachings they are getting at Campbellsville KY. Several of these young men are in Spin Four. This is a group of jugglers. They juggle everything from balls to knives and hammers and are great. They give a Bible Lesson while they are juggling it is unique. They would be glad to come to your church.

 To all our groups coming out. 
We have a dear friend who is in the whitewater rafting business. When you bring a group and if they would like to go Whitewater Rafting before going home. I could have him send you some information. There are a lot of things to do in NM. This is one of the better things.

 PRAYER REQUEST

• Jeff, Renai, Paul, Lynn: & myself health; strength; wisdom, encouragement, everything each of us need to do what God has in His agenda for CF AN and that we might be more effectual for His Kingdom.

• That our students become Christian Leaders in their community.

• Laborers for this harvest

March Newsletter 2005 from Lybrook

ISAIAH: 35;1 The desert shall rejoice and blossom like a rose.

The drought has ended here and the rains and snows are making their appearance. We know when spring arrives the beauty of the desert will be seen. We are praising God even though some are having to park their vehicles on 550 and walk in. Paul's has been out for two days. It has been a long time since our roads have been this bad.

Our Academy is under the Accelerated Christian Education. They sent Larry Baker and his son out to speak to some of our ministers and church leaders. They would love to place Christian schools all over the reservation. We invited a lot of people but the weather and road conditions kept many away. We did have a good meeting and now it will be up to the Navajo if they are willing to start schools in their communities and churches. I think it is a wonderful way to reach the children with the Gospel. The curriculum is filled with scriptures and Bible teachings. Pray with us the Navajo will see the great opportunity being offered to them and will take advantage of it. We are losing the children to the world. We must do all we can to bring them out of the nets satan has set for them.

BUSS ACCIDENT
Paul and I met with lawyers. They have told us they will try to settle this suit out of court. We are to meet again in the middle of March. Pray with us that the offer will be agreeable and settled on that day. I really felt a peace that God was and is with us. He will see us through this. It was an accident and not the missions fault. We work hard to help the Navajo not hurt them. Pray for God to give us favor. I know He did at the previous meeting. Pray for a miracle.

THE VALENTINE BANQUET at CWC was very nice. The Theme was Amazing Love was demonstrated and presented in numerous ways as our Saviour was lifted up in word, deed and song.

OUR NEW STAFF 
Jeff and Rena Peters. They are precious and want to work with children and youth. This is just what we have prayed for. Pray that we are able to supply them with every need to do what God is laying on their hearts to minister to our children. They have some wonderful ideas and have worked with inner-city kids so this is not a new thing for them. Is' God good.

OUR PRESENT NEEDS
For all of you who have written to ask what we need. The following is a list of needed items.

Of course the building needs are still here
    All inside plumbing fixtures
    10 heaters $550.00 each. We have to buy a certain kind and this is the cheapest price.
    Stove and refrigerator.
    Thank God the list gets smaller and smaller!
    Thank all of you who have worked so hard helping us build this marvelous building.

Jeff has many jobs lined up for summer groups as they come in. Here is a list from Jeff & Rena for the youth program:
    Ping - pong table
    Basket ball court
    TV, DVD play
