One of the Houses We Worked On

The Bus Ministry

One of the things that we did there was help with the weekly Bus Ministry on the reservation.

We went to a differient neighborhood on two differient days. The first time we helped was right after we got to Globe from Phoenix on our first day there. We literally did not even have time to unload our bags from the car before we had to get on the bus and go.

I met so many adorable kids and many of them likely would have a heartbreaking story to tell. Of alchoholism, rape and incest, and gang violence. I was so very glad that I was able to bring the stories of the Bible and a little bit of love into their lives along with the staff of ARM.

When we arrived into the neighborhoods we would go and pick up the kids and then go to a level place in the middle and park the bus. Then we would sing, have a lesson (which was puppets while we where there), pray, and then break for crafts, games, a snack and just getting to know the kids. It really was very cool and great to get to become their friend in the short time we where there.

I returned from Arizona a while ago now, but it seems that my time there was very short. Yet, also while i was there it seems that I was there for very long time. I met many new people and made many new friends. And I hope that in some way I was able to help the people there and make an impact in their lives.
