USA (MNN) -- The estimated native American Indian population in the United States is 1.7 million. A small percentage of American Indians have heard the message of Christ, and fewer still have given their hearts to Christ.
That's what compelled Bible Pathway Ministries to respond to a plea for help from "Widow's Mite Mission." The small agency is working on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona, but they didn't have funds enough for evangelism and discipleship resources.
They turned to Bible Pathway, and the team responded by assembling a shipment. About the time they finished putting it together, postage and shipping rates increased. That means BPM has been unable to send the pallets (approximately one-thousand pounds) because the shipping costs have tripled.
Bible Pathway's Al Joslyn says they're turning to volunteer help. "We're looking for some company or an individual that would be willing to pick materials here at our Murfreesboro, Tennessee location and take them to the Flagstaff, Arizona area. These materials include Navajo language Bibles, English Bibles and materials that are needed for building up the saints there."
What happens if the monies don't come in? Joslyn says, "We're going to ask the Lord to provide that, and we're believing [God] for that. But if we don't, we're going to try to make the arrangements financially here to get that accomplished. It would be quite expensive for normal trucking. There are two pallet loads, but we will get them there and I know the Lord's going to help us do that."
