Navajoland
Mission Encounter 2007 October
20-27, 2007, a team of eight Ohioans went to New Mexico
on the Navajoland Mission Encounter. Six of the eight
were from Forest Park United Methodist Church in Lima,
Ohio and the other two were from the Castine Church of
the Brethren, Castine,Ohio. The group stayed at the Gamerco
Church of God in Garmeco, which is close to Gallup, New
Mexico. They worshiped and served there and at Hooghan
Nizhoni Church of God. At these churches the team led
evening sessions on Developing Church Leadership, Strengthening
the Family, and Women Ministering Women. The sessions
were well received. During the day the team did Chores
of Compassion such as cleaning the churches, building
a handicap ramp for two Navajo sisters, repairing a fence
and a picnic table. One day the team also served at Casa
San Martin, a homeless shelter run by the Catholic nuns.If
