New Mexico Navajo Indian Reservation

An opportunity for families to serve together, each growing in their own spiritual gifts as they serve others and help the Navajo people not just by building roofs and ramps, but relationships and bonds with each other and the Navajo people. An opportunity for anyone (family, single, parts of families) to serve in a family environment that allows each individual the opportunity to grow in their faith while sharing God and God's love with the Navajo people. This trip offers you the opportunity to lead or be led, to step out of your box or stay in your spiritual gift. No child is too young, no adult too old...everyone has a gift to bring to this mission trip...the gift of themselves and their willingness to serve. God has called us to this Navajo nation to help build disciples while we learn to be disciples ourselves
