Summer 2014

2014 is shaping up to be a very

busy summer! While we have only

4 mission teams scheduled, we

also will be hosting 4 Johns

Hopkins camps.

Mission teams

Our mission teams this year come

to us from Kentucky, Indiana,

Virginia and Ohio. These groups

will do a wide range of service

projects from construction to

direct ministry.

Mission teams are a vital part of

our ministry! Without them, we

wouldn’t have the time or

resources to continue our work.

Dunamis Ranch for hire

In 2013, we hosted 3 camps for

Johns Hopkins Center for

American Indian Health.

In 2014, we will once again

partner with Johns Hopkins by

providing facilities and meals for

students attending the Arrowhead

Business Group Entrepreneurial

Camps. Students learn and

become part of a business

inspiration and education

program.

We are blessed to host these

camps as they provide Dunamis

with some much needed income.

It also introduces youth to White

Mountain Apache Christian Church

and our youth service called “The

Rising”.

Velicia gets a house!

Many of you know Velicia Cosay. Velicia

teaches our elementary Sunday school class at

White Mountain Apache Christian Church.

After many years on the waiting list for

reservation housing, Velicia, her husband D.J.,

and their 3 children (Michaelson 7, Keyana 4,

and Darian 9 months) moved into their own

house. For many years they have lived in

Velicia’s grandparents’ house along with more

than a dozen other extended family members.

Our summer helper

This summer we are blessed to have Amanda

from Richwood, OH to help us. Amanda

attends Cincinnati Christian University and

Richwood Church of Christ. She was here in

2013 with our Richwood family.

DISCIPLE NEWS

Here comes 2014!

Sunday school news

Teaching a Sunday school class

doesn’t stop on Sunday morning.

In order to fully disciple someone,

you must be in their lives, not just

in a class. Karen teaches the pre-

teen girls Sunday school class at

WMACC. She was able to spend

the day with these beautiful girls

and take them to lunch and the

movies. These young girls are

definitely growing in Christ.

Inside a busy McDonalds, one of

the girls reminded everyone that

we needed to pray for our lunch.

Then to my amazement, another

girl (one who is very shy)

volunteered to say the prayer.

They didn’t care who seen them

or that they were in a public

place, all they cared about was

giving thanks to our God for

blessing them. To us that is God

moving in these young girls’ lives.

The Rising:

Spring boy’s retreat

March 7-9 was the Rising’s boy’s

retreat at Lake Pleasant in

Phoenix. Chad from WMACC, Seth

and John from Apache Youth

Ministries planned the events

ranging from hiking Camelback

Mountain to rock climbing classes

to attending worship at Christ’s

Church of the Valley in Peoria,

AZ. Matt and D.J.(WMACC church

member) facilitated camp by

providing camping equipment and

cooking meals for the hungry teen

boys.

WMACC Ladies: Weekend

with Jesus

Karen and Kelle Foland (River of

Hope Ministries) along with 5

Apache ladies attended the Joyce

Meyer Conference in Phoenix in

February. We were blessed by a

friend who owns a home in the

Apache Junction area. He let us

stay there that weekend, free of

charge, while he was out of town.

Most of the Apache ladies had

never attended anything like that

kind of conference. All of them

left with an awe of God’s power

and love for each of them. They

were able to experience other

fellow Christians worship and

were amazed at how many men

attended the conference and how

they worshipped so freely.

Prayer needs:

Please pray for:

Continued growth of individuals and

as a congregation at WMACC.

Energy, focus, discernment for the

upcoming year.

For financial provision for Dunamis.

Physical needs:

A replacement SUV—our current one

has over 275,000 miles on it. While it

is still going strong, its days are

numbered.

Help with restroom construction.

Thank You!

Matt & Karen
