2021 Oct: Pastors Travel 1.5 Hours To Attend Conference in Maricopa, AZ; COVID Deaths Continue

I did a Pastors' Conference in Maricopa, AZ in October 2021 for the Ak-Chin Indian Community. The messages were well received. They were messages on "Unity Among the Churches", "Friendship Evangelism", and "Finding Personal Convergence in Your Callings".

What surprised me was that I thought the conference would be local pastors only. Instead, pastors were driving 45 min to 1 1/2 hours to come out! That showed me it was a regional conference and not just a local one.

​

Sadly, two pastors who intended to come died of COVID that week! Most of the Native American churches are in great fear of COVID at this time.

While in Maricopa, I also spoke at an Ak-Chin church (services held outdoors since the temperature was in the upper 70's).

​

I am hoping to go back in early 2022. No firm plans have been made yet.
