Reztoration Ministries

Sharing the Love of Yeshua in Native America

Reztoration Ministries is located in Flagstaff Arizona serving the Hopi , Navajo and other Native peoples who live in and around Northern Arizona and all across Indian Country.

Greetings friends and relations,

Our 3rd annual (The Peoples Pow-wow ) went very well. We had many people give positive reports. Many people shared that they could feel a since of peace over the pow-wow. It was good to hear that both Christians and traditional people felt the peace of God over our event. We continue to see walls of offence broken down, new relationships started and many relationships healed. Over 600 people were at the pow-wow, 13 drum ( singing groups ) and over 125 dancers Saturday evening. Our ministry feed buffalo stew dinner to over 250 people.

The word to us from the people was that they were blessed, that is our purpose, to be a blessing and shine the light of Jesus. Below is just one of the many responses we received.

( Ron and I were so blessed to be at your powwow and see the work of the Lord in the lives of the people. What an awesome witness to the people and what an awesome example of how a powwow should be. The atmosphere was awesome and I felt the Lord among us many times that day. Had the Lord been there in the flesh He would have walked up to you and said "Well done, good and faithful servant".)

I was allowed to restore honor to one Lakota man who had suffered deep wounds and hurts at Indian boarding school back in the late 1950's. The Holy Spirit did a deep work in all of us involved in this reconciliation ceremony. It is awesome to see how God opens doors for us to minister His love, grace, mercy and healing to people who would never step foot in a church building or service.

One of the Hopi drum groups ( Sun-bear Singers) that was at our pow-wow and has been at other events we have done wants to travel with Jan and I to Oregon July 30th - Aug.3rd to attend a Native American Christian family camp. Five Hopi men and some of their families will be going with us to the Wiconi family camp and Pow-wow. I believe that God will touch each of these Hopi brothers and sisters in a powerful way. They are not Christians but really want to attend this family camp. We have been building relationship with these Hopi families for over 11 years.

Pray that we will be able to raise the funds to cover travel expenses for this trip, with the gas prices where they are it will cost us about $2000.00 for the 10-12 of us to make this trip. If any one would like to give a one time gift to help cover the trip it would be a blessing to both our Hopi friends and Jan and I.

Please keep our ministry in our prayers.

Blessings, Pastor Bill Gowey / Reztoration Ministries
