Lutheran Church of Hope: Home: Mission Navajo

It is an opportunity for Christians to share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ with the people of the Navajo nation by coming alongside them and helping with both their physical and spiritul needs. Missionaries travel to Gallup, New Mexico and work at various sites on and around the Navajo Nation Reservation. We are currently working in partnership with Christian Reformed churches located in Tohlakai, Church Rock and Ft. Wingate, New Mexico.

How do we get to Gallup?

Members of the mission team travel in their own vehicles. There will be an overnight stay on the road each way.

What skills are required?

While we have some need for carpentry and construction skills, there is enough work for anyone, regardless of skill level. Planned projects for 2009 include repairs for homes of Navajo people and miscellaneous repairs at the church. VBS is conducted during the family trips.

What is the cost?

Cost is $170, which includes meals in Gallup(Sunday through Friday), lodging at Rehoboth Christian School, t-shirt and insurance. Team members plan their own transportation to and from Gallup. Roundtrip travel by vehicle is estimated at $375, plus one night hotel stay (approximately $75) and meals while en route.
