We’re Going to the Navajo Nation — By Faith, With Purpose

Some stories begin with strategy.
Ours began with a dream.

One night, I dreamed that Amy and I were standing on Navajo land, preparing to open a ministry facility that could feed 15,000 children a day. I woke up overwhelmed in God’s presence — a pattern I’ve come to recognize when the Lord speaks to me through dreams. I’ve seen these kinds of dreams unfold before, and they’ve led me to prayerful, Spirit-led obedience.

After praying and researching, I discovered that over 15,000 children within the Navajo Nation live in adverse poverty. That number, without me ever knowing it beforehand, was my first confirmation. God was stirring something I never saw coming.

Months later, a friend I met on a trip to Ecuador told me about his church’s outreach in New Mexico. While their work wasn’t among the Navajo people, it reignited what the Lord had begun stirring in my spirit. I couldn’t shake it. Eventually, I reached out to the North American Mission Board of the SBC and was connected to leaders who are now helping us meet with tribal pastors and mission partners directly tied to the Navajo and surrounding nations.

The Mission Trip

My son Caleb and I are now booked for our first survey trip, June 29 – July 5. This will be a trip to pray, listen, and build relationships. We want to ask the Lord: What are You already doing here, and how can we join You?

We believe God may be calling us to:

• Share the Gospel with underserved communities

• Help children and families in generational poverty

• Explore sustainable ways to strengthen local economies through things like online market places for handcrafted Navajo baskets, clothing, crafts, and more

But above all, this is a trip of discovery and surrender.

How You Can Help

We’re not asking for a specific dollar amount — just for prayers and for obedience to God’s prompting. If He leads you to give toward this effort, know that it will help cover our travel, lodging, and groundwork ministry efforts during this critical survey trip.

Final Thought

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” (Matt. 28:19).
That word “Go” literally means as you are going.

We’re going — and trusting the Holy Spirit to show us every next step.

Thank you for believing in what God is doing through In Flight Missions.
