NACA 2023

NACA Mission Trip 2023

October 7th, the team from the Indy District led by Jack and Holly WIlliams, set out for Sun Valley Arizona to work together with the team at the Native American Christian Academy. Two of our district missionary families are currently serving at the school. Josh and Shannon Herndon and Sara and Camillo Gonzalez began their ministry at NACA just this year. The team had three main projects: building a deck and wheelchair ramp for the girls dorm/apartment building, installing a fence around the septic system area, and demolition of old buildings that were no longer safe or functional. Other work included helping the kitchen staff fix and serve meals and cleaning apartments for volunteers. The team also saw the beauty of God’s creation in the Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, and The Grand Canyon. God is working at NACA! They have an incredible vision for not only the students, but for ministering to all the families they serve. Indy District is truly blessed to be part of God’s plan in Sun Valley!

District Family Fun Day

Family Fun Day was a wonderful success! The weather was perfect and the Ramsey Farm was a great location to meet and fellowship with our missionary, Natanel Picavea! Kids (big and small) loved exploring the farm and farm machines. Enjoy some picture highlights from the event:

A Season of Waiting

From the building of General Assembly exhibits to evenings and celebrations with old and new friends, God enriched us and our relationships with those we shared time with in Kansas City. As this season comes to a close, we look back and see the fruits of God’s blessings. Besides the work that was done, we enjoyed time in nature, boat rides, making Venezuelan arepas with friends, soccer games, and a birthday celebration! We are thankful for all those who poured into our lives in our 2 months working with the Global Ministry Center.

As we returned to Indianapolis for the long-awaited General Assembly and Conventions, we continued working with our team to set up and tear down the displays in the exhibit hall. If you had the opportunity to be present at GA2023, I am sure you were blessed and enjoyed the beautiful representation of all of the regions around the world. What an amazing blessing to be present and worship with so many different people from all over the world!

For those of you who have been praying with us in this season of waiting, we are excited to share with you that we finally have some answers! After several meetings and exploring different opportunities with prayerful consideration we have decided to take the Work & Witness position at the Native American Christian Academy (NACA). Beginning in July, our family will close with Global Missions and head out to Sun Valley, Arizona!

We are so thankful for your support during our time with Global Missions and look forward to our continued partnership as we begin a new season of ministry at NACA. NACA is a Nazarene ministry, and we will still be serving in a cross-cultural environment. We look forward to sharing more with you about this ministry and how you can partner with us. Please continue praying for our family… for our move to Arizona, our transition to a new place and ministry, and the new challenges we will encounter. We hope to work with you there in Arizona as we serve together through Nazarene Missions Teams! Come serve with us!

We will share more as we finalize more details about our move. We love and appreciate you all! Thank you for your continued love and support.
