Catching up on The Thomas House News

What has happened since you last heard from us

George Roberts (Thoreau NM), Benny & Mary Lynn Harry (Crownpoint NM) and Charlie Jones from TN converge onto Azle, TX at missionary Mike Helton’s ranch for a great TX bar-b-que and mountain logic about groups coming to assist in our quest to feed, clothe and share the love of Christ to the Navajo people, in April of this year.

Vision Ministries of America was able to furnish Benny Harry (a Navajo Tent Evangelist) with a new tent that could sit approx-imately 300 people. There was also about 27 barrels of clothes that was brought back with the NM gang. Almost half of the clothing barrels were given out the first week of being back at the reservation.

SUMMER CAMP NEWS

Building at the campground has become slow do to the lack of laborers and money (or donation of needed material) to have project on a schedule. Charlie and Brenda Jones were to have come at the beginning of July, but have had to post pone due medical concerns.

The bath house starts with two walls up and the foundation laid. As we have no plumbing or roofing material as of yet for the bath house washing must be put on hold. There is a bathtub that is being used for the pony and llama to drink from. If it comes to an emergency bath, they might share the tub.

God has blessed up with a great well and good water. The well went down 310 feet at a cost of $15,000. The water is good enough to be bottled. The water carrier that fits our truck holds 365 gallons and is standard for a lot of pickups. We can fill seven 55 gallon drums which is used by many here as a weeks water supply.

We have given out barrels for water but have not established a routine delivery of water due to lack of barrels, time and gas money. We do allow anyone who needs to fill containers to do so.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19

We need someone to organize and run that project. So… if God is calling you to mission field…..I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink - Matthew 25:35
