LAMA joins with the most vulnerable of our society to voice our common needs in the public square, activating our faith in love.
Last time, you received a tickler about the upcoming Lenten Challenge. Here’s another.
This year’s challenge will benefit the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission at Rock Point, AZ – “An outpost of love and hope”.
- House of Prayer (HOP) is the congregation located on the Navajo Lutheran Mission campus, serving the Rock Point community as a center for spiritual learning and cultural dialog. Established in 1965 within the American Lutheran Church, HOP is now a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and an active cross-cultural ministry of the Grand Canyon Synod.
- Roughly 2,000 Navajos live in Rock Point
- 60% of houses have internet
- It is roughly 50 miles to the nearest grocery store
- Less than 40% of the homes in Rock Point do not have running water.
Your support can help with the purchase of a water redistribution system that will transport well water to tanks where residents can fill containers to ensure they have potable water.
Till next time,
Sharon Odden, LAMA Roundtable Representative
