Support & Bi-Vo

 Why at Shaddow Croos are our missionaries 50/50 Support and Bi-Vocationally based?

We see the importance of both allowing supporters to partner with our missionaries, and our missionaries being "tent-makers" within their respective communities for the sake of furthering the Gospel and setting good examples for those new to the Faith.

Why raise support?

  • Because it allows our missionaries to walk in faith, knowing firsthand the power of God's provision.
  • Because it allows those who support our missionaries to partner in the blessings of the ministry.
  • Because it connects us with new faces on each deputation trip.
  • Because Jesus and the 12 Disciples modeled it for us.
Why be Bi-Vo "Tent-Makers"?

  • Because it connects our missionaries within their local communities meeting people they would not have a chance to otherwise.
  • Because it sets good examples for new believers.
  • Because it was modeled to us by Paul, Luke, Priscilla, and Aquilla, and many others.

Desert Refuge Wire: Spring '23

  Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters, Spring has come with her fresh blooms, warming temps, and bright sunshine.  Not that this spring has not come without her troubles.  Our Gold HHR "Traveller" is out of commission for the time being, and we are currently borrowing Rob's parents' spare truck.   That being said, we are still busy with Rodeo, Worship, and Circle C Church ministry. This late winter/spring, Rob and Morria have set up tables representing the church at several local rodeos. Work still moves forward on the return to Dine' bi Keyah, the American Southwest, slated for 2025.  Steps are being taken for training and preparation as we go forward, with more details coming soon!  Again, dear friends and family, we thank you for your prayers and support!
