Carver Bible College has a program with the Navajo Christian Foundation. It began five years ago with mobilizing churches throughout the country to assist these Native Americans with life-sustaining donations for potable water and water purification systems, non-perishable goods and building construction as well as soul-sustaining ministering of the word of Christ, mental health counseling and training for other faith-based endeavors.
In 2020, Carver partnered with area churches to send an 18-wheeler filled with provisions to Dilkon, AZ – an area of less than 20 square miles with a population of about 1,300 according to the latest U.S. Census data. Nearly half of the households have children under the age of 18 and about a third are single-parent with a female head of house. The poverty rate is about 35% compared to 19% in Atlanta and an average of 13% in the United States as a whole.
Carver is seeking assistance from the Atlanta community to send water, non-perishable goods and funding once again.
The representatives from Carver will be leaving the metro area on Friday, June 14. Those interested in donating goods, funds, transport, etc. may contact Carver Bible College President C.L. Jordan at 678-522-5106 or [email protected]
Acts 20:35, “In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
About Navajo Christian Foundation:
The vision of the Navajo Christian Foundation is to minister to all aspects of the Navajo family. The vision and prayer for the future is to provide more for the youth (teenagers) on the reservation. 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.
