Stewart Family Ministry Update

The Stewart Family would like to thank the board along with the Navajo Christian Foundation for your prayers and support. We returned to Dilkon in June of 2015 and God has provided by bringing new churches to NCF. One new church is from Louisville, KY and Saddleback Church from California.

The Dallas trip was a blessing as I attended all three service with our supporting church Ridgeview in Rockwall, Tx. I shared the need for foster parents to help us in the children's home. One of the members will bring his smoker and prepare BBQ for almost 400 people this summer in July. The Village Church in Flower Mound also was willing to meet with me and they extended an offer to complete an assistance application. Pray for open hearts as we write that budget and ask for help.

My Florida trip in March will consist of investing some quality time with my son who will join me as I share with two churches and reach out to a local Christian college in the Orlando area about NCF. Pray for God's will as I speak to East Coast Christian Church and First Baptist Altamonte Springs.

Our family is doing well adjusting to life on the Rez in Dilkon and we appreciate the support of Bo Paddock our Executive Director and Rydell Morgan on staff with NCF. God is Faithful and He will lead us as we rebuild and glorify the name of Jesus among the Navajo through the ministry of NCF.

For Jesus Glory and Kingdom

NCF
Administrator Report
February, 2016

WoW! I has been such a long time since I gave a report for NCF. I am happy to report that NCF is very much alive and is still going forward despite all the difficulties and few hardships that challenges NCF existence, but our Great and Mighty God never abandon NCF. He is still the center and foundation of this ministry that continues to serve the community and share the Good News of our Savior Jesus Christ to our people and to all who are hurting and lost spiritually.
A lot has happened since my last report, but I will try to summarize a few updates that has taken place over the year.
To begin with, NCF was invited to meet with local leaders from the surrounding communities to support a proposal to bring youth services / programs to local communities (Dilkon, Teesto, Ind. Wells, White Cone) with grant funding ready available to use. NCF agreed to rent out the Recreation Center to be one of the host site for this youth program. This decision not only supported and assisted in helping our youth it also brought in much needed income to NCF, unfortunately our contracted expired in 09/2015 but we are still serving our youth with open gym night.
Secondly, Navajo Housing Authority move out tenants from approximately 40 nits so they could renovate them. Rydell Morgan (NCF Staff) was one of those families that had to relocate, so NCF has allowed the Morgan family to move into one of the available apartment temporarily until renovation is completed. Again, this decision has brought in income for NCF.
Thirdly, The Navajo Nation Dept. of Family Service / Social Services building was condemned and had to be vacated. They inquired to NCF about renting out available office space if any was available. NCF did meet with their Directors and approved a contract to rent out six offices at a monthly rate. This has added a little more income for NCF along with our faithful givers of churches and individuals who also support the ministry. Once again I believe this was another way of God providing for NCF to continue forward with the ministry.
Last update I want to share is an answer to prayer for me and NCF. I am happy to announce the return of the Stewart family (Randy, Heather, Elias & John). They had served here as Foster Parents and assisting the Rec. Center for several years. He is assisting me in the Administration office and is a Representative for NCF to churches and organizations. He is currently in Texas speaking and sharing NCF ministry at two churches. He is also announcing the need for a House Parent for the Children home, pray that maybe one of the attendance will respond to the call to serve. This is truly the work of God in rebuilding NCF, but all in His timing leading through prayers.
Once again it’s a privilege to continue to serve here at NCF and most of all for my LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for your prayers for me and my family as we have committed ourselves as long as NCF and God permits us to serve here.

All 4 Christ!

Greeting, ALL

Just sharing our awesome group from Ceres Christian Church in California.
 
It has been over a year since we updated our poor blog, we apologize for inconvenience that it may have caused.
 
Well, NCF is still up and running. We still do have mission trips to our facility to share Gods words and Love.
 
"Bo" James Paddock, Jr Director of NCF has been busy. All the paper work, studying and counseling he does to help all in need. AA meeting has been put on hold for a short while, due to the cold weather.
 
 All thing come together for a good reason, right!
 
The Stewarts, are back and serving NCF to the fullest.
 
New plans:
Open the Children Home by the end of this year or sooner, God knows what he wants us to do. To have the Gym back in full swing before summer is over.
 
Bo & I during 2015 Christmas
 
We ask for continued prayer for all that still needs to be done, keep us lifted everyday. In a few days I well share the Director's report and I will keep everyone posted.
