A New Year brings New Opportunities

Happy New Year to Everyone!!



We are trying something new this year with a blog; we know and understand how important it is to keep our friends and family updated with all the news, prayer request, and praises. So our plan is to publish a new blog at the end of every month. This will update you on what has happened and what we plan to happen for the new month to come.

So let us quickly bring you up to date on who is here serving and how we are serving God;



We have James and Carol Paddock, James is the Director for NCF. They have been serving in the children’s home as Foster Parents, which is a children’s placement facility for Child Protective Services. Our home ensures a safe place of refuge and an opportunity to share Christ. James retired in 2009 from the First Church of The Nazarene in Dilkon as the Pastor.


Then we have Bo & Rosita Paddock, Bo is currently leading a men's bible study on Monday nights, a discipleship class on Thursday nights, has open gym on Sunday afternoons for families from the surrounding churches, and helps Joey with any big maintenance projects. Bo is also the contact for churches that send mission teams to serve at NCF. Rosita works a fulltime job at Winslow Indian Health but she has a passion for reaching out to the young ladies in the community through a Monday night women’s bible study class.



Finally we have Joey and Angie Browning all the way from Southern Indiana. God called them to serve at NCF in September. Joey is our maintenance man who is in charge of the grounds and Angie is our new accountant. They have open gym for the community on Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights that include devotion or a bible story. They plan on getting their Foster Parenting License as well so they can help more with the children in the home. They have a 16yr old son, Joey Jr. who is a big help to NCF as well. He helps us anytime and anyplace he is needed.

For all of us, our main goal is to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ and to show the love He has for the Navajo Nation.

We would like to ask for prayer for the following; Bo will be traveling the end of this month through the first week of February to visit a church in OH please pray for safe travel and the opportunity to talk to people about why NCF exist. Please pray for our frozen water break in the gym that has caused damage to the floor and the boy’s urinals. Please pray for our ministries, opportunities to witness to the natives, and much needed financial support.

We hope you will enjoy this blog and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions. If you would like a notification of our future blog post please email us your email address at: ncf1@frontiernet.net

God Bless you all from all the staff.

Navajo Christian Foundation Vision Statement



The vision of the Navajo Christian Foundation is to minister to all aspects of the Navajo family. The children's home is in place to provide Christian nurturing to abuse and neglected Navajo children. As the children are reunited with their relatives, our goal is to reach the family for Jesus Christ.


The counseling center, which is a two-story building, has been built to provide not only management offices for NCF, but counseling services to insure that families have access to biblical counseling. The center will also be used to provide training for lay ministries.


The vision and prayer for the future is to provide more for the youth (teenagers) on the reservation by having a Christian youth recreation center. (The youth center was completed in January of 2005.) The goal would be to reach more Navajo youth for Christ by providing them an alternative to what the world offers.

As the Lord provides, we would also like to develop a Christian school for families desiring a Christian education. Please pray for the mission and for God's timing and perfect will in how the mission might progress to meet the needs of the Navajo people.
