Native American Ministries
The Adventist churches on the reservations are more than just “regular churches.’ They are mission churches who minister to a long forgotten people in our own backyard, people waiting for the good news of Jesus’ power and freedom from sin, and these churches need your help.
Consider this statistic—right now on Navajo Nation reservations, there is approximately one Adventist for every 1,000 people. The Navajo Nation is a mission field, a neglected mission field here in the United States.
The Navajo Nation covers 27,000 square miles across several states in the Pacific Southwest. It is larger than Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont combined. It has a population of 341,128. The Navajo Nation Reservation has the highest rates of suicide, alcoholism, and diabetes in the United States. The unemployment rate is 48.5% on the reservation. The needs on the reservation are huge and the workers are very few.
