A Bus Buddy is an individual or group who commits to praying for this particular area of ARM. By sending us just $25.00 each month, you are helping in a tremendous way as gasoline, insurance, snacks, craft supplies and more are on-going needs to keep this Bus rolling. We take that partnership seriously! Every-other month, we’ll send you our Bus Buddy Update (see current issues below). This publication will help you remain informed of current activities and specific prayer requests. THANKS for considering such a practical partnership!
Bus Buddy Update September 2011
Arizona Reservation Ministries
visits four tribal neighborhoods on the San Carlos Apache Reservation every week through our Mobile Ministry Center. A renovated bus with tables that fold down for lesson time then up for games, toys and more, and a basketball hoop on the back! Kids from other neighborhoods have relatives bring them, or catch a ride on our van. Over 500 kids are now on our attendance lists…over 200 coming regularly! Please pray for them, and for us as the Gospel is preached by word and action. The older kids/young teens are growing into leaders! It is our prayer that one day soon they will have mentors and their own “Church Bus” so that specific activities, etc. can be held for them. We’re also praying for the kids and teens who have chosen Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior over the past year! Please pray for the logistics as we plan a “mobile baptistry” to help them more fully dedicate their lives to Him!
Each afteroon; Monday-Thursday, our Church Bus rolls into a neighborhood on the Reservation. As the horn honks, kids run from everywhere to come aboard and join in. The singing can get loud, the object and Bible lessons sometimes personal or crazy, the craft and game times wild. Everything is planned to help each and every child and teen grown in their knowlege of Jesus Christ, as they also make personal decisions to follow and trust Him.
